Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati greeted the people on the occasion of Independence Day and Raksha Bandhan on Thursday.
In a tweet, she said, "The importance of this festival (of Raksha Bandhan), which signifies the pious relationship of brother and sister, increases more in the current time when cruelty on daughters and sisters and atrocities are continuously rising. As a result, there is a wave of concern in the society."
