Bhopal: Former chief minister Kamal Nath came down heavily on chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and the administration on the brutal rape of a 12-year-old girl in Ujjain. Taking to X, Kamal Nath said, It is heart-wrenching to see the case of extremely cruel abuse of a small girl in Ujjain. The kind of rape that happened to a 12-year-old girl and the way she ran around in many areas of the city in a semi-nude state and then fell unconscious on the road, puts humanity to shame. Such a heinous incident is a stain on the administration and society.In a direct attack against chief minister Chouhan, Kamal Nath said, I want to know from the chief minister whether you will just keep fighting elections and making false announcements? Will you fill the hoardings of entire Madhya Pradesh with pictures of women created by Artificial Intelligence, but will not pay attention to the safety of innocent daughters? Is the girl with whom this cruelty happened not a Ladli Laxmi and Ladli Bahna?The senior Congress leader maintained that earlier two other small girls were brutally raped. The repetition of such brutal incidents in the state shows that the rule of law has ended in Madhya Pradesh. Despite having a chief minister, Madhya Pradesh has become a state without a chief minister. Criminals are ruthless and the public are troubled.He further said, I demand from the chief minister that the criminals be given the harshest punishment. And along with proper medical treatment, financial assistance of Rs One crore should be provided to the victim.Former chief minister Uma Bharti also demanded punitive action against the culprits. I read in the newspaper about the way a 12-year-old girl was found wandering soaked in blood in the city of Ujjain. This is unfortunate and according to the newspaper report, people came forward to support her after a long-time. This is very unfortunate, shameful and a disgrace to our society. Strictest action should be taken against this most heinous act of criminals, she tweeted.We also published the following articles recentlyFormer CM Kamal Nath says upcoming state assembly polls are elections for future of Madhya PradeshFormer Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Kamal Nath, has stated that the upcoming state assembly polls are crucial for the future of Madhya Pradesh.
