'I was locked in a room for visiting Ram Temple in Ayodhya' Congress national media co-ordinator Radhika Khera leaves party

NEW DELHI: The Congress received a setback on Sunday as the party's national media co-ordinator Radhika Khera resigned from all posts as well as primary membership of the party.

In her resignation letter to Kharge, Radhika Khera blamed the party’s abhorrence for those leaders attending the Ram Mandi’s Pran Pratistha ceremony and also shared her travails after doing the same.

“I served the party, right from NSUI days to now. I spent a total of 22 years serving the party with full devotion but for some days I have been subject to cruel treatment. My only fault was that I couldn’t restrain myself from visiting the Ram Temple,” she wrote in the letter to Kharge.

She said that she was locked in a room in the Chhattisgarh Pradesh Congress office for visiting the Ram Temple.

"I was misbehaved with in the Chhattisgarh Pradesh Congress office, I was pushed there and locked in the room. I kept on screaming and pleading, from the smallest to the biggest leadership, but I did not get justice. Today I have resigned from my party post and primary membership, but I have full faith that Ram Lalla will definitely give me justice," she said.
