A Haryana minister and two MLAs of state's ruling Congress on Saturday joined a function to celebrate the birthday of former minister Gopal Kanda who is in jail for his alleged involvement in the suicide of former air hostess Geetika Sharma.

Three MLA who are supporting Bhupinder Singh Hooda government showered praise for Kanda at his 47th birthday ceremony in the Tara Baba complex, which was attended by a large number of supporters.

Haryana Minister for Labour and Employment Shiv Charan Sharma, Chief Parliamentary Secretary and Fatehabad MLA Prahalad Singh Gillankhera and Panipat MLA OP Jain claimed Kanda would soon be proved innocent and he would join as a minister in Haryana Cabinet.

The celebrations were marked by a 'hawan' and a health camp.

Kanda was named in the suicide note written by Geetika who was allegedly harassed by him.

These legislators, who are supposed to be opinion makers and exemplars for society at large do not hesitate to condone crime. How do you think the country can prosper in material terms and in quality of thinking when 50% of the population is treated as if it does not exist. These fellows have to be made to pay for their criminal mentality through the polling booth. Their political bosses are equally insensitive.

RAPE VICTIM

HOW COME THIS COUNTRY IS SAFE FOR WOMEN WHEN KANDA IS SUPPORTE BY THE PEOPLE AROUND. GEETIKA WAS A VICTIM OF ORGANISED RAPE BY GOPAL KANDA ( TWO DAYS BEFORE HER DEATH , SHE HAD ANAL SEX ,ITSELF INDECASE THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE CRIME) AND HIS OFFICE STAFF . COURT HAS REALISED THE CRIME, NOT ALLOWING HIM TO BE FREE , BUT NOT EVEN A SINGLE PERSON IS SHOWING INTEREST IN HER. SHE WAS NOT A BRAVEHEART TO US???? PL FORGIVE US GEETIKA ..

If you look at the recent comments of some of those in power and still remain: why are you so surprised. This MLA should be sacked from his job. He is supposed to protect women.
