TIL Desk/National/Sonbhadra/ About 18 family members of the victims of the Sonebhadra carnage on Saturday arrived at Mirzapur”s Chunar fort where Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has been detained since Friday afternoon. However, only five of them were allowed to meet the Congress leader.
Priyanka told the media: “The victims of the family members have arrived here, but only a few people have been allowed to meet me.” The Congress leader said she was trying to meet the kin of the victims since Friday but was not allowed to. “And now that they are here to meet me, they are also being stopped. Even I am being prevented from speaking to them,” she said.
Lambasting the Yogi Adityanath-led BJP government in Uttar Pradesh, she said: “God knows what is their mindset. The administration did nothing when these people needed help and protection but it has been actively guarding me since 24 hours.” “A lot of people have come to meet me since yesterday, they were not stopped, but these families from Sonebhadra are not being allowed to talk to me. What crime have they committed?” she asked.
