New Delhi: In yet another attack on the BJP government in Uttar Pradesh over the Hathras rape-murder incident, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said the shameful truth is many Indians do not consider dalits, Muslims and tribals to be human.
“The CM & his police say no one was raped because for them, and many other Indians, she was NO ONE,” he tweeted.
The Yogi Adityanath government is fighting severe criticism for its handling of the case, particularly after the local police allegedly burnt the woman’s body at night without the family’s approval.
However, officials said the cremation was done “as per the wishes of the family”. The CBI has taken over investigation and registered an FIR on Sunday.
