Taking to Twitter, she shared a purported video of an alleged “assault” by the police in Shahjahanpur on ASHA workers who wanted to meet Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath with their demands.

“Every assault on the ASHA sisters by the UP government is an insult to the work done by them. My ASHA sisters have given their services diligently in coronavirus times and on other occasions. An honorarium is their right. It is the duty of the government to listen to them,” the Congress general secretary said in a tweet.
