Deputy CM ब्रजेश पाठक पर अभद्र टिप्पणी को लेकर मंत्री Dinesh Pratap Singh ने दिया बयान

लखनऊ, उत्तर प्रदेश: सपा के एक्स हैंडल द्वारा डिप्टी सीएम ब्रजेश पाठक की मां पर अभद्र टिप्पणी करने को लेकर यूपी के राज्य मंत्री दिनेश प्रताप सिंह ने समाजवादी पार्टी पर हमला बोला है। उन्होंने कहा है कि मुझे बहुत ही दुःख हुआ जब मैंने वो टिप्पणी सुनी। ये अंदर तक झकझोर देने वाली टिप्पणी है। राजनीति में एक दूसरे पर आरोप लगाना ये तो मैंने देखा है। एक दूसरे की मां के सामने झुकना हर राजनेता का कर्तव्य होता है। लेकिन जिस रूप में समाजवादी पार्टी के लोगों ने ब्रजेश पाठक की मां को लेकर टिप्पणी दी है वो बहुत ही निंदनीय है। वो मां अकेले ब्रजेश पाठक की नहीं है वो जन-जन की मां हैं। वहीं विदेश में सांसदों को भेजने को लेकर भी मंत्री ने कहा है कि जो संकट भारत ने देखा है उसे पूरी दुनिया ने भी देखा है। हमारे देश की बहनों की मांग का सिंदूर उजाड़ा गया। जिनका कोई दोष नहीं था, उनके हाथों की मेंहदी भी नहीं उतरी थी। उन महिलाओं को विधवा बना दिया गया। और उसका बदला हमारे देश के पीएम ने घर में घुसकर लिया। लेकिन जो देश पाकिस्तान के कटोरे में चवन्नी-अठन्नी डाल रहे हैं वो लोग महसूस करें कि उनका ये पैसा कहीं किसी की मांग का सिंदूर तो नहीं उजाड़ रहा।
