Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan has promised a Muslim woman and her children “complete security” after she was allegedly beaten up by her family for voting for BJP in the recent state polls.
Sameena Bi and her two children met with Shivraj Singh Chouhan in his official home today where she raised concerns about her security.
According to NDTV reports, Sameena’s brother-in-law Javed attacked her when he came to know she had voted for BJP.
“He asked why did I vote for brother Shivraj Singh Chouhan's party," she said, as per NDTV.
She added the meeting with MP CM went well, “Bhaiya (Mr Chouhan) said they will ensure me and my children are safe, that I exercised my voting right the way I want. The Constitution gives the right to vote for anyone of our choice.”
