New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has said Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath should have the decency to call the alleged gang rape and killing of a Dalit woman in Hathras district a tragedy.
He also slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying he has not spoken ‘a word’ on the Hathras incident.
Speaking to reporters in Patiala, Rahul said, “The Chief Minsiter of Uttar Pradesh should have the decency to say this is a tragedy and will look into it and will protect this family and this girl.”
“Yogi ji is entitled to his opinion. He is more than welcome to imagine whatever he wants to imagine. What I saw there was that a lovely girl was molested, her neck was broken, her family was threatened and the people who did it, no action was taken against them,” he added.
“If Yogi ji sees it as an international conspiracy, well that is fine, that is his prerogative. What I saw was a tragedy,” added Rahul
“A child is raped and murdered, but the whole administration attacks the family and country’s PM does not utter a word”, he said.
