NEW DELHI : Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday attacked the JDS alleging that heinous crimes had been committed by Janata Dal (Secular) leader Prajwal Revanna that have ruined the lives of hundreds of women. Priyanka Gandhi also questioned the silence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the matter.
“The leader on whose shoulder the PM puts his hand and gets himself photographed, the leader for whom the PM himself goes to campaign 10 days before the election. He praises him on the stage. Today that leader from Karnataka is absconding from the country. Just hearing about his heinous crimes makes my heart tremble. He has ruined the lives of hundreds of women. Modi ji will you remain silent?,” Priyanka Gandhi said in a post on X.
Prajwal Revanna was booked in a sexual harassment case on April 28 following complaints by his former house help. The case has been registered under sections 354A, 354D, 506, and 509 of the IPC on charges of sexual harassment, intimidation and outraging the dignity of a woman.
As per the complaint, the victim has claimed that both HD Revanna and Prajwal Revanna sexually assaulted her. The complainant further claimed that when Revanna’s wife was not at home, he touched her inappropriately and used to sexually assault her.
The Karnataka government has constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the alleged obscene video case against MP Revanna.
In this regard, Union Minister Pralhad Joshi said that action should be taken against any individual who has committed something wrong.
“There is no problem for alliance candidates, if somebody has done something wrong, then action should be taken against them according to the relevant law. I have nothing much to say,” Pralhad Joshi said (ANI)
