Rahul Gandhi, targeting Prime Minister Modi said, “Just now police pushed me, lathicharged me and threw me to the ground. I want to ask, can only Modi Ji walk in this country? Can’t a normal person walk? Our vehicle was stopped, so we started walking.”
The UP administration has put a ban on all large gathering and set up barricades at the border ahead of the Congress leaders visit. The district administration in Hathras has imposed Section 144 in the area and has banned the entry of all ‘outsiders’ including mediapersons in the Boolgarhi village where the 19-year-old Dalit girl was gang-raped and has succumbed to her injuries on Tuesday late evening Safdarjung hospital in Delhi.
The victim had suffered multiple fractures, paralysis and had difficulties in breathing due to a neck injury suffered in the assault. The police have also said that there was a gash in her tongue as she had bitten it when then four assaulters tried to strangle her.
The incident has triggered massive public anger and the Yogi Adityanath led UP government has come under severe attack from the opposition over the recent spurt in crimes against women.
