Addressing an election rally in Davanagere on Saturday, AICC General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi questioned the ‘silence’ of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah on the involvement of an NDA ally in the sex scandal in Karnataka.
She said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had canvassed for the same candidate, who had raped hundreds of women and after everything came to light they had allowed him to escape from the country. Despite knowing everything about the movement of every party leader in the country both Mr. Modi and Mr. Shah were behaving as if they knew nothing.
“The Prime Minister in his speeches makes tall claims about empowering women, protecting women, but when it comes to speaking for the women who have exploited or subjected to injustice, he is always seen standing with the oppressor”, she said.
