Robert Vadra on Wednesday said he had been stopped from going to Lucknow to "check on my wife (Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra) and make sure she is fine and well".

In a lengthy post on Facebook, Vadra wrote:

"I have been stopped to get to Lucknow, UP. to check on my wife and make sure she is fine and well.

I am shocked beyond belief, how Priyanka has been arrested under Section 151 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

I spoke with her yesterday & she informed me, that she has not been served with any order or notice. She has not been produced before a judicial officer & has not been allowed to meet her legal counsel.

I am really worried for her & I had packed my bag to go to Lucknow now, when I was informed that I won't be allowed to step out of the airport. This is totally shocking that as a husband I can't even go & support my wife.

Thankfully, she has a huge support of the masses.

But for me, my family & my wife comes first.

I really hope & pray that she is released soon & is back home safe."

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's extended detention has triggered furious protests from the Congress and other opposition leaders, including Sanjay Raut of the Shiv Sena.
