Ahmedabad: Raising a question mark over Chief Minister Narendra Modi's “silence” on the alleged illegal surveillance of a young woman architect in the state, Gujarat Mahila Congress today sought to know as to why the entire state machinery was “misused”.
“BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate always targets Prime Minister (Manmohan Singh) for his silence on important issues. But why is “Saheb” silent on such a serious surveillance issue?,” Gujarat Pradesh Mahila Congress president Sonal Patel asked.
“If the woman was being harassed, why was an FIR not registered against the accused and why was the person not sent to jail. Instead of providing security to the woman, an illegal surveillance was ordered on her. We want to know as to why the entire state machinery was misused,” she told reporters here.
Terming the illegal surveillance of a woman as “sexual harassment”, Patel said they would gherao the state Assembly during its next session.
