Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi attacked the UP government for increasing crimes against women. (Proceedings)
New Delhi:
Congressional Leader Rahul Gandhi criticized the Uttar Pradesh government today for media reports of increasing incidents of crime against women in the state. Rather than protect women, the state government was trying to “save criminals,” the congressman said, by tagging a report that claimed a BJP MLA allegedly took a man accused of harassing a woman. in police custody.
“How it started “Beti bachao“(save the daughter), how’s it going”Apradhi bachao“(save criminals),” the congressional leader tweeted, sharing the report on the social media platform.
According to the media report, the BJP MLA broke into a police station together with workers from their party and took a defendant in a case of sexual abuse.
The report was also shared by Gandhi’s sister, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who questioned the state government about the alleged deterioration of public order in the state.
“Will the CM of the UP say that this is happening under what ‘mission’?” Beti bachao “(Save daughters) or” Apradhi bachao “(save criminals)?” Mrs. Vadra “tweeted.
Congress has stepped up its attack on the UP government, especially after the Hathras incident, in which a 19-year-old Dalit woman from the district was allegedly raped and attacked by four men. He later died of his injuries in a Delhi hospital.
Police handling of the case, in particular the night-time cremation of the victim allegedly without family approval, sparked angry protests across the country. Officials, however, said the cremation was carried out “according to the wishes of the family.”
The investigation in the case has been taken over by the CBI.
