Sakshi faces flak for b’day wishes to rape accused Sengar

Lucknow: On the day when a rape survivor was set ablaze in Unnao, the BJP Member of Parliament Sakshi Maharaj took to Twitter to wish rape accused MLA Kuldeep Sengar on his birthday.
The BJP MP from Unnao posted his birthday wishes for Sengar from his official Twitter handle. The message also carries his own image.
Sakshi Maharaj had come under fire when he visited Kuldeep Sengar in Sitapur jail after the 2019 Lok Sabha elections to thank him for his support. He also went to meet the tainted MLA at his residence when the latter lost his mother recently.
Sakshi Maharaj’s message was posted on Thursday – the day when another rape victim from Unnao was set ablaze by her alleged rapists who were out on bail.
The victim has been admitted to the Safdarjung hospital in Delhi with over 90 per cent burns. She was first brought to Lucknow for treatment and later on Thursday evening, was taken in an air ambulance to Delhi.
Samajwadi Party MLC from Unnao, Sunil Singh Sajan said, “The rape accused MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar is representative of Yogi Adityanath while BJP MP from Unnao Sakshi Maharaj is representative of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. These are the real faces of the BJP. Birthday wishes are being given to rape accused MLA by a man who represents Unnao parliamentary constituency and that too, at a time when a girl is set ablaze after rape.”
