Congress to agitate against Udit Narain
PTI
Monday, June 26, 2006
Congress has threatened to launch an agitation against noted Bollywood playback singer Udit Narain and approach party president Sonia Gandhi if Ranjana Jha, who claims to be his first wife, fails to get justice soon.
The party's Bihar unit would also contact Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilas Rao Deshmukh for action against the singer, newly appointed state Congress women wing president Sunita Devi, MLA, told PTI.
Devi said she had already written to State Women Commission Chairperson Manju Prakash seeking details of the case. Udit, who failed to appear before the state women commission for the fourth time on June 16 citing health reasons, has been called for personal appearance before it on June 28.
The Ranjana issue, she said, was an "insult on a woman's honour" and the party would hold dharnas and even gherao the singer in protest against the incident. She also criticised the NDA government led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar saying Ranjana had personally met him but did not get justice.
"The lot of women has further deteriorated under NDA. Check the statistics ... Crime against women has increased in the Nitish regime in comparison to that of Rabri Devi," she alleged.
