Sultanpur | On Thursday Maneka Gandhi was campaigning in a Muslim majority village, Turab Khani village in Sultanpur UP, where she gave a speech which has landed her into controversy. For that speech, she has been issued a show cause notice by the election commission on Friday.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Union Cabinet Minister for \u2018women and child development\u2019 is an MP from UP\u2019s Pilibhit. She has started her campaigning 10 days ago from Sultanpur for the upcoming Lok Sabha election. While campaigning in Sultanpur she told that anyhow she will win the election, but if she will win without the support of Muslims then the win will be sour. And after that in the future, if the Muslims need her support and help then she will need to think about that. It should always be a give and take relationship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video of Maneka Gandhi while delivering this speech has gone viral in social media. According to sources, because of this comment, the Sultanpur\u2019s District Magistrate has sent a notice to her after the EC looked into the matter and asked her to explain her remarks within three days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What exactly Maneka Gandhi said which has landed her into this controversy…..<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is important. I am winning. I am winning because of the love and support of people. But if my victory is without Muslims, I won\u2019t feel that good.\u00a0<\/strong>Dil khatta ho jayega<\/strong><\/em>. Then when a Muslim comes to me for work, I think let it be, how does it matter. It\u2019s all give and take, isn\u2019t it? We aren\u2019t all sons of Mahatma Gandhi, are we?. It\u2019s not that we keep on giving and then losing in the election. This victory will happen with or without you.\u201d After some time she continued, \u201cI have already won the elections, but you will need me. This is your chance to lay the foundation. When the election comes and this booth throws up 100 votes or 50 votes, and then you come to me for work we will see\u2026I don\u2019t see any divides, I see only pain, sadness and love. So it is up to you\u2026\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Additional Chief Electoral Officer, BR Tiwari on Friday said, \u201cThe EC has taken cognizance of the matter. District Magistrate, Sultanpur, has issued a show cause notice to her and a report has been sent to the EC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
