LUCKNOW: Congress general secretary
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Friday hit out at the state government saying she would not be deterred by attempts to harass her for raising issues related to the common man.
Without naming anyone, Priyanka said she would continue to lend voice to people’s concerns unlike some leaders in
Uttar Pradesh who were acting as “spokesperson of the ruling BJP”.
“I will not be deterred by UP government’s departments trying to harass me for raising people’s problems,” she said in a tweet.
“As a public servant, my duty towards the people of Uttar Pradesh is to bring the truth to the fore. My duty is not to propagate the government’s propaganda. UP government is wasting its time in trying to threaten me. Take whatever action you want to, I will keep highlighting the truth. I am the
granddaughter of
Indira Gandhi, not an undeclared spokesperson of the BJP like some leaders,” she tweeted.
On Thursday, the State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (SCPCR) issued a notice to Priyanka in connection with her comment on Kanpur shelter home case.
In an official statement, SCPCR chairperson Dr Vishesh Gupta termed Priyanka's statement as "misleading" and sent her a notice asking her to file a reply within three days.
