The father of the girl, who it at the centre of a snooping row, today wrote a letter to the National and Gujarat Women's Commissions in which he said there is no need for further probe into the matter.
Here is the full text of the letter:
I am indeed shocked and pained due to the developments since past few days in which purely personal and family issues pertaining to my daughter are being publicly raised in the media by certain vested interest groups in spite of my written request to the media a copy of which i am enclosing with this letter.
My daughter is an architect and an educated lady. She is married and also deeply perturbed by intrusion upon her personal and her privacy. with a view to ensure that her anonymity and whereabouts remains out of public gaze, she has requested me to write this letter to this honorable commission on her behalf and her request. In the year 2009, due to personal and family reasons I had made a request to the honourable CM Gujarat to take steps in my daughter's interest. Considering the fact that the issues bothering me and my family were personal in nature, I deemed it fit to make an oral request to the honourable CM as political head of state of Gujarat with whom I have long-standing relations spread over two decades.
My daughter is fully aware of all types of help that was rendered by the state machinery considering a genuine request of a father for his daughter. She is fully conscious that the said help was absolutely necessary and was in her own interest, safety and security.
In spite of the above facts, issues concerning my married daughter and her personal life and of my family are being publicly raised by certain vested interest groups in the media ostensibly on the grounds that her right of privacy is violated. she strongly feels and it also clearly appears that under the guise of protecting my daughter's right to privacy, her personal right to privacy is being grossly breached, manifestly for political objectives.
I, on behalf and at the request of my daughter, earnestly urge that whatever help that whatever help was rendered upon my request is within her knowledge and her own interest safety and security and there has been no encroachment on her privacy as sought to be made out.
Kindly, therefore, ensure that my daughter's personal issues be not publicly discussed in the media and if any person, body, political party or authority approaches this commission, based upon any fact concerning her,let not cognizance be taken by this commission.
