BJP MLA Alka Rai writes to Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, alleges threat to life from Mukhtar Ansari

Lucknow / Gorakhpur, 17 March (HS) :   In another emotional letter to Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi, BJP MLA Alka Rai, widow of slain MLA Krishnanand Rai, repeatedly urged her not to save BSP MLA Mukhtar Ansari.

Alka Rai, wife of late BJP MLA Krishnanand Rai who was murdered in Ghazipur in 2005, wrote to Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and accused the Punjab Government of blatantly providing protection to accused Mukhtar Ansari. She further expressed her agony and struggle while fighting for justice for the past 14 years.

She further wrote that several like her have been anxiously waiting for Mukhtar Ansari to be punished for his crimes and urged Priyanka Gandhi to show some sensitivity towards the suffering of common people.

In her letter, Alka Rai has said that Congress and its government in Punjab has been shielding and treating the dreaded gangster Ansari like a ‘State Guest’. Rai further accused the Jail Minister of Punjab, Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa of enjoying hospitality of notorious criminal Mukhtar Ansari during his trip to Lucknow and also expressed threat to life from the jailed politician.

“We are all suffering. If anything untoward happens, you (Priyanka Gandhi Vadra) and your party (Congress) will be responsible,” Rai said.

She further questioned the intentions of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra behind shielding such gangsters who are not only a threat to the society but are detrimental to the tranquility and harmony of the entire nation.

It is to be mentioned that Alka Rai has been writing letters continuously to the Congress General Secretary with a hope that she would respond and take appropriate actions. However, no response has been received till date.
