“Dear media, please keep the focus on the corruption issue that I have raised against Rohini Sindhuri IAS. I have not prevented anyone from fighting against corruption that affects most common man. At the same time, also inquire into the pattern…the PATTERN, where one IAS officer dies in Karnataka, one IPS officer dies in Tamil Nadu, one IAS husband-wife in Karnataka are already divorced.”
“Me and my husband are still together. We are still fighting to keep the family intact. Please question the perpetrator who exhibits the pattern, becoming an obstacle to family. Else, many more families will be destroyed. I am a strong woman. I will fight. Not all women have the same strength to fight. Please be a voice to such women. India is known for family values. Let’s keep up with that. Thanks,”
