This Is The Strength Of Public And Of Journalism That The SIT Had To Arrest Chinmayanand: Priyanka Gandhi

Mumbai: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said on Friday that the government took action against former Union Minister Swami Chinmayananda, only after the woman accused him of rape, threatening self-immolation.

Taking to Twitter, she said it was the strength of the public and journalism that Chinmayanand had to arrest.

“The BJP government is so thick skinned that it did not take action until the rape victim said that she will self immolate herself. This is the strength of the public and of journalism that the SIT had to arrest Chinmayanand,” she said.

“The public has ensured that ‘Beti Bachao’ does not remain in mere slogans but becomes a reality on the ground,” she added.

The BJP leader was arrested by the Uttar Pradesh Police’s Special Investigation Team (SIT) the day before from his residence in Shahjahanpur, a week after a law student at one of his colleges accused him of rape.
