Kuldeep Singh Sengar, former BJP MLA from Unnao, Uttar Pradesh, is serving life imprisonment on rape charges. His daughter Aishwarya Sengar has written an emotional letter to Home Minister Amit Shah demanding protection of the victim and her family in the rape case. The logic behind which is that the victim is constantly publicly expressing fear of suicide or murder.

Expressing concern in the letter, Aishwarya wrote that the victim is repeatedly threatening in the media and social media that if Kuldeep Singh Sengar is granted bail or released, she will commit suicide. Aishwarya has expressed doubt that if any untoward incident or accident happens to the victim or the victim’s family, the entire blame will be put on her father.

Mention of old events in the letter

Aishwarya mentioned in the letter to the Home Minister that in 2018, the victim had attempted self-immolation in front of the CM residence, against which a case was registered under media pressure and her father (Kuldeep Sengar) was arrested. Aishwarya also mentioned in the letter the 2019 road accident in which the victim was injured and her relatives died. Aishwarya told that CBI, IIT Delhi, CFSL and CRRI had clearly considered this incident to be an accident. Delhi Court acquitted him and there was no appeal. But the media and the victim’s side still accuse her father of attempted murder.

Media accused of creating narrative

Aishwarya further wrote in the letter that the media’s coverage of this case created a narrative due to which the right to a fair trial was taken away. As soon as any relief decision comes, protests and movements start. Or worse a shock to the family.

Aishwarya demanded that the victim be given constant protection and the media should not be misused. The letter made it clear that it is only for justice and human sympathy and not for any sympathy for oneself.

Daughters of accused in Unnao case and former MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar, expelled from Bharatiya Janata Party – Dr. Ishita Sengar and Aishwarya Sengar have come forward.

Kuldeep Singh Sengar’s daughter Aishwarya Sengar said, ‘We could not even start the debate on the merits of the case today. That she (the victim) has changed her statement several times, the time has been changed thrice, first at 2 pm, then at 6 pm and finally at 8 pm. There is a report from the AIIMS Medical Board that she was more than 18 years old.

Aishwarya said that I have been fighting for justice for the last 8 years, but perhaps the suffering of me and my family has no meaning. Our dignity, our peace and even our fundamental right to be heard has been taken away from us. Still there is hope for justice. I request the media not to spread any wrong information.

The Deputy CM completely rejected the allegations of casteism and internal strife in BJP and said, ‘There is neither Thakurism nor Brahminism in our party, only BJPism prevails here. BJP’s principle is – everyone’s support, everyone’s development, everyone’s respect and everyone’s place.

Only BJP issue will run in Uttar Pradesh – Keshav Prasad Maurya

When he was further questioned, allegations were being made that Brahmin MLAs were not happy and the politics of Thakur versus Brahmin was going on under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. On this, Keshav Maurya bluntly said that neither Thakurism nor Brahminism will work in Uttar Pradesh, only BJPism will work. Whoever follows a different path, his future will be in darkness. All the party members know this.

When the Deputy CM was asked whether Brahmin MLAs were not able to express their views openly and whether they were holding separate meetings. Where even name and mobile number are being written. In response to this, Keshav Prasad Maurya said that it is natural for MLAs to meet each other during the House. Just because some people are sitting and their photo is published, it does not prove that there is any dispute or casteism in the party.

Kuldeep Singh Sengar is already dismissed from the party – Keshav Prasad Maurya

On the question regarding getting bail for Kuldeep Singh Sengar, Keshav Prasad Maurya said that this matter is sub-judice. BJP or the government does not decide the decisions of the court. He made it clear that Kuldeep Singh Sengar has already been dismissed from the party and the government had stood with the aggrieved party earlier, is there today and will do so in future too.

After Unnao rape case accused and former BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar got bail from Delhi High Court, the case is continuously making headlines. Bhojpuri folk singer Neha Singh Rathore has given a sharp reaction on this decision and has raised questions on the policies and slogans of the government. Commenting on this, he has taken a dig at the government regarding Beti Bachao Beti Padhao.

Neha Singh Rathore’s reaction

Neha Singh Rathore took a direct dig at the government by calling this bail as the reality of the new India. He said that anything is possible in today’s India, where on one hand social workers can be in jail and on the other hand, people guilty of heinous crimes like rape can come out. Describing the government’s Beti Bachao Beti Padhao slogan as contradictory, he said that there is a huge difference between the strict language of the Prime Minister and the ground reality. According to Neha, giving parole or bail to such criminals is not only wrong but it also raises questions on the justice system. Calling it condemnable, he appealed to the daughters of the country to stand unitedly with the victim.

What did Neha Singh Rathore say on Christmas protest?

Commenting on the Christmas protest, Neha Singh Rathore called it a move to weaken the country. He says that opposition to any festival or religious event promotes religious fanaticism. In his statement to ANI, he raised the question that what kind of nationalism is being created by intimidating minorities in their own country. According to Neha, this is not patriotism but an attempt to weaken democracy and social unity.

International image and fundamental rights

Neha Singh Rathore termed such videos going viral on social media as harmful for India’s international image. He said that in countries like Europe and Australia where Indian minorities live, all these create negative perception towards India. This may also increase the pressure on the governments there to make policies against India. Neha said that celebrating Eid, Diwali, Christmas or any religious festival is the fundamental right of every citizen. Visiting church, temple, mosque or any religious place is a right granted by the Constitution and violation of these rights is a serious threat to democracy.

Former MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar, who is serving life imprisonment in the 2017 Unnao rape case of Uttar Pradesh, has got bail from the Delhi High Court and his sentence has been stayed.

What kind of justice is this?- Yogita Bhayana

How will we save the country’s girls, how will they get justice! This girl is the victim of Unnao gangrape. Her father died in police custody after being brutally assaulted. Aunt and lawyer died in a car accident. More than 100 stitches were required, many bones were broken. She was saved on ventilator after 6 months of treatment and now…. What kind of justice is this??? The victim is crying for justice. She is saying that there is no other option except suicide.

Victim’s mother’s demand and questions on justice

He said that it does not matter whether the accused lives at home or 500 kilometers away, what matters is that he has committed a crime and he should be punished. He agreed that both parties have the right to appeal, but the court should conduct a fair hearing keeping in mind the victim and the incidents that happened to him. He clearly says that in such a serious case the accused should not get bail at all. This statement shows that the victim’s family is still holding out hope for justice, but the recent verdict has dealt a deep blow to their faith.
