Gorakhpur IPS officer Charu Nigam retaliates after the verbal conflict with BJP MLA Radha Mohan Agrawal on Sunday, where she burst out into tears. After the video of her being shouted at by Bharatiya Janata Party’s MLA Radha Mohan Das Agrawal went viral; IPS Charu Nigam on Monday said that her tears are not her weakness.
“I am not weak because I had tears in my eyes. It was due to the tenderness associated with women,” she wrote on Facebook. “My training has not taught me to be weak. I just did not expect that SP city Ganesh Saha sir would outrightly reject the irrational argument and talk about my injury. Before sir came, I was the senior-most officer in the police there but when sir came and stood by the force, I got emotional,”, she added in a heartfelt Facebook post.
Appreciating the media for their support she said,“Media has taken this stand because everyone of them saw both the incidents and this shows the positivity of media in Gorakhpur. I am thankful to them to have shown the truth with least manipulation. I believe that good gets good and that’s why I have got the support of the media. Please stay calm! I am fine and slightly hurt. Nothing to be agitated or worried about.”
Meanwhile, BJP MLA Radha Mohan Agrawal remained unapologetic instead lashed out at her saying that Charu Nigam had lathi-charged women in the area. As per India Today reports, Agrawal said, “15 days ago, three illegal liquor shops were shut in the area. However, 5 days ago, the police allowed the shops to be reopened despite being illegal. The locals in the area, mostly women, were protesting against these shops. But the police lathi-charged the crowd, they lathi-charged a 70-year-old woman, they kicked a pregnant woman, they beat up a child. Is that fair?”
