In the midst of a row over land allotment by Gujarat government to companies with close business links to her, Anar Patel, daughter of Chief Minister Anandiben Patel, today claimed she has done nothing wrong and said “to do ethical business with social morality is everyone’s right,”

In a post on her Facebook account, Anar said she does everything in “righteous manner”.

“So far whatever I did, I did it in righteous manner …building reliability. I get hurt when people have assumptions and judgements for one’s morality. Truth always prevails and I abide by it,” said Anar in the post which came hours after Congress levelled serious allegations against her and Anandiben over allotment of a piece of land.

Anar said she is a qualified businesswoman and has dedicated more than two decades to social service.

“My husband and I dedicated more than 22 years in social service. My husband devoted his life for the cause of sanitation. To take care of family needs, in 2008 I did MBA and entered business. I strongly believe that to do ethical business with social morality is everyone’s right,” said Anar.

Congress has raised the issue of “conflict of interest” in allocation of government land near Gir Lion Sanctuary to a company which allegedly has close business links with Anar.

The allotment was made when Anandiben was Revenue Minister.

The main Opposition party has demanded the resignation of the Gujarat Chief Minister and a Supreme Court-monitored SIT probe in the land issue.

State BJP has on the other hand termed the allegations baseless and fabricated and shared the facts through a statement.
