In another blow to Congress amid Lok Sabha elections, party leader Radhika Khera resigned from the primary membership of the party after she alleged mistreatment by party members. In her letter to the AICC, the Congress leader alleged that justice was denied to her after the mistreatment by party members as she visited the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.
“It is an established truth since ancient times that those who support religion have been opposed. Examples of this range from Hiranyakashipu to Ravana and Kansa. At present, some people are opposing those who take the name of Bhagwan Sri Ram in the same way. For every Hindu, the birthplace of Bhagwan Sri Ram holds great significance with its sacredness and while every Hindu considers his life successful just by seeing Ram Lalla, some people are opposing it.
आज अत्यंत पीड़ा के साथ पार्टी की प्राथमिक सदस्यता त्याग रही हूँ व अपने पद से इस्तीफ़ा दे रही हूँ।
हाँ मैं लड़की हूँ और लड़ सकती हूँ, और वही अब मैं कर रहीं हूँ।
अपने व देशवासियों के न्याय के लिए मैं निरंतर लड़ती रहूँगी। pic.twitter.com/6hjgSDcXV0

The party to which I have given more than 22 years of my life, where I worked with full honesty from NSUI to AICC’s media department, today I have to face such intense opposition because I couldn’t stop myself from visiting Ram Lalla in Ayodhya,” she said in her letter.
“The opposition to this noble work of mine reached such a level that justice was denied to me in the incident that happened to me in the Chhattisgarh Congress office. I have always fought for the justice of others from every platform, but when it came to my justice, I found myself defeated in the party. Being a devotee of Bhagwan Sri Ram and a woman, I am deeply hurt,” the Congress leader added.
