Rahul, Priyanka meet Hathras victim’s family; say will fight for justice

Congress leaders Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi today visited Hathras to meet family member of 19-year-old victim, who was allegedly gangraped and murdered last month and subsequently cremated in the dead of night without consent of family, creating outrage and question mark over the conduct of Uttar Pradesh police.

After meeting the family, Rahul Gandhi said “no force can silence us,” while Priyanka said, “Wherever something wrong happens, we will be there to ensure justice is served. No one can stop us.”

“The family couldn’t see their daughter for the one last time. UP CM Yogi Adityanath should understand his responsibility. Till the time justice is delivered, we’ll continue this fight,” Priyanka said.

हाथरस के पीड़ित परिवार के प्रश्न:
1. सुप्रीम कोर्ट के जरिए पूरे मामले की न्यायिक जाँच हो
2. हाथरस DM को सस्पेंड किया जाए और किसी बड़े पद पर नहीं लगाया जाए
3. हमारी बेटी के शव को बगैर हमसे पूछे पेट्रोल से क्यों जलाया गया?
4. हमें बार-बार गुमराह किया, धमकाया क्यों जा रहा है? 1/2

Their visit however was marred in controversy as they got into a dramatic stand-off with police at Delhi-UP border. This was second attempt by Gandhis to reach Hathras to meet the family.
