क्या इससे कोई इन्कार कर सकता है कि हरियाणा भारत की रेप राजधानी बन चुकी है!!
कांग्रेस अध्यक्ष श्रीमती सोनिया गांधी जी के खिलाफ @mlkhattar द्वारा की गयी आपत्तिजनक
टिप्पणी महिलाओं के प्रति उनके और भाजपा के अपमानजनक रुख को दर्शाता है – @sushmitadevinc #MaafiMaangoKhattar pic.twitter.com/4o7i2KpLIW— All India Mahila Congress (@MahilaCongress) October 14, 2019
On Sunday, Haryana CM M L Khattar poked fun at Sonia Gandhi’s return as the interim president of the Congress party. At An election rally, he said, “after losing the Lok Sabha elections, Rahul Gandhi resigned as the Congress president and started saying that the party should get new president from outside Gandhi family. We thought this was good, to move away from nepotism (parivarvad)… But they spent three months moving around the country in search of a new party president. After three months who became the president? Sonia Gandhi. Khoda Pahar Nikli Chuiya, Vo Bhi Mari Hui. This is their condition.”

The AIMC president said that such derogatory comments were aimed at diverting the attention from the larger and more important issues such as unemployment and economic slowdown and asserted that crimes including rape are on the rise and it is due to this reason that Khattar is seeking to divert the matter.
“Lowering the discourse is an attempt to divert attention from the real issues that are being evaded like joblessness and acute economic slowdown. Can anyone deny that Haryana has become the rape capital of India. Kidnapping and abduction are also on the rise. The Chief Minister of Haryana has no answers to the real issues that are adversely impacting the people of Haryana specially the women,” the letter further read.
“ML Khattar of the ‘Beti Bachao’ gang have failed as Haryana has the fourth highest crime rate in the country, there is a shocking shortfall in police manpower. At 27 per cent, the shortfall is highest among the northern states, and almost 4 times as high as the deficit in Punjab,” it added.
