Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said on Friday that she had stopped children from raising wrong slogans. “The children were playing... When I got down to meet them, they raised some slogans. As soon as they raised wrong slogans, I stopped them and told them to raise good slogans instead,” she said. The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights had issued a notice to Ms. Vadra on Thursday for alleged use of children in election campaign. The complaint pertains to a video in which children are heard using abusive language in front of Ms. Vadra. She said video of the incident was in the public domain.
