Bhopal: Offering all possible help to Unnao rape victim and her mother, Chief Minister Kamal Nath here on Friday asked them to settle down in Madhya Pradesh.
Lauding Supreme Court’s verdict in Unnao rape case, Nath tweeted, “I appeal to the mother-daughter duo, who have decided to leave UP taking the state unsafe for them, to settle down in Madhya Pradesh.”
My government would offer complete security to your family, said the Chief Minister, in an apparent dig at state of affairs in Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh. Nath went on to offer that the state government would take care of the treatment, education and other necessities of the girl and won’t let the family be hassled by any means.
Once the cases (pertaining to the family) are transferred to Delhi, we would make adequate travel arrangements for the family. “We would take care of the girl like daughter of our state,” Nath promised the family from Unnao who teenage daughter was raped by former BJP MLA Kuldip Sengar who had been expelled from the party on Thursday.
SC on Thursday had ordered Rs 25 lakh compensation to the victim and ordered shifting of all cases related to the victim to Delhi. Reacting to Nath’s tweet, BJP spokesperson Rajnish Agrawal claimed that Nath’s initiative for the daughters is laudable but in the same breath said why he chose to tweet instead of contacting that family. “He should also pay attention to atrocities meted out to girls in Madhya Pradesh,” pointed out Agrawal.
