The Congress on Saturday suggested that Dadra and Nagar Haveli MP Mohan Delkar could have been saved had Prime Minister Narendra Modi and home minister Amit Shah responded to his desperate pleas for help and the parliamentary committee for privileges had taken his suicide threat seriously.
Delkar, an Independent MP from Dadra and Nagar Haveli serving his seventh term, was found hanging in a Mumbai hotel last month. A purported suicide note had accused top administrative officials in Dadra and Nagar Haveli of harassment.
Declaring its resolve not to allow the suicide by a sitting MP be hushed up, the Congress also released copies of letters Delkar had purportedly written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union home minister Amit Shah and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla before taking the drastic step.
