Lucknow: Veteran Congress leader ND Tiwari married Ujjwala Sharma, the mother of his biological son Rohit Shekhar on Wednesday. This comes two weeks after Ujjwala Sharma had staged a dharna outside 88-year-old ND Tiwari's home in Lucknow.
Ujjwala Sharma had protested against not being allowed to live with him.
After a six-year legal battle, the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister and governor of Andhra Pradesh ND Tiwari had in March admitted that Rohit Shekhar was his biological son.
This comes two weeks after Ujjwala Sharma had staged a dharna outside 88-year-old ND Tiwari's home in Lucknow.
Shekhar had approached court against Tiwari in 2008, claiming he was born out of an affair between the Congress leader and his mother Dr Ujjwala Sharma. In 2012, Tiwari was forced to give samples of his DNA for a paternity test which established he had fathered Shekhar.
But in March last year, the senior Congress leader denied having "any kind of relations with the youth's mother" and said the paternity suit is a "political conspiracy" by his opponents. "I was not having any kind of relations with Ujjwala Sharma, especially physical, emotional or even sexual," Tiwari had told a commissioner appointed by the court.
