Madhya Pradesh government dropped ace mountaineer Megha Parmar as the ambassador of the state's 🅠'Beti Bachao Beti Padhao' progra♋mme and sairy brand Sanchi after she joined Congress
Me♎gha is known to be the first woman from Madhya Pradesh to reach the summit of 🃏Mount Event.
The state government's move came after Megha joined the Congress at an event in Chhindwara on May 9 in the presence of t🃏he Madhy𒐪a Pradesh Congress chief and former Chief Minister Kamal Nath.
It has been reported that a day after joining Congress, the Department for Wom🐲en and Child Development revoked Megha as the state ambassad▨or for the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao programme.
Five days later, on May 15, her name was also dro𝄹pped as the ambassador of the state dairy brand🐓 Sanchi.
Following the development, Congress lashed out at the BJP, alleging that the latter disch෴arged Megha from the role of ambassador only because she joined the Congress.
What did Megha Parmar say?
“For the BJP, Beti Bachao has become Beti Hatao”, said the Everest c🐽limber on being discharged from her current responsibility as ambass♐ador.
"I am a farmer’s daughter. I couldn’t have imagined conquering the world's highest peak. Kamal Nath helped me a lot. He gave me financial assistance. As a result, I was able to conquer the world's highest peak. Instead of film actresses, Kamal Nath made the farmer's daughter a brand ambassador of the 'Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao' campaign. But the BJP government, which talks big about women's respect, removed the same farmer's daughter from the brand ambassador,” said Megha Parmar, as per med▨ia reports
“The claims being made by the BJP regarding women's empowerment t👍oday s😼tand exposed. The action of the Shivraj government has not only insulted me but has demeaned women's empowerment,” she added.
Meanwhile, the state🍌 government is yet to respond to the allegations levelled by Megha Parmar and the Congress party.
O🤡n May 22, 2019, Megha became thꦓe first woman from Madhya Pradesh to reach the summit of Mount Everest.
