Reacting sharply on alleged misbehaviour of Uttar Pradesh Police with All India Congress Committee (AICC) former National president, Rahul Gandhi, Jharkhand Pradesh Congress Committee (JPCC) on Thursday held a candle march at Albert Ekka Chowk in the State Capital and burnt effigy of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath.
The march was led by JPCC Chief Rameshwar Oraon and addressing the gathering on the occasion he said that it is a black day in the history of the Country. "The incidents like rapes will regularly take place with Dalit women in this Country and the criminals will continue to roam freely without any fear. The victim's family will be intimidated and threatened. Congress leaders cannot tolerate this, even if the Yogi Government resorts to sticks or bullets. Congress has a history that we and our ancestors have been fighting continuously against exploitation and will continue to fight in future also," he added.
Oraon demanded that whoever is guilty in the incident the Government should take action as soon as possible, as well as action should be taken against the police and administrative officials who were involved in the misbehaviour done with Rahul Gandhi.
Congress Legislature Party Leader, Alamgir Alam said that the attack and arrest of the Country's popular leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi is an attack on democracy, the Country and Congress workers will never tolerate it. Alam said one daughter of a Dalit was abused, cremated at two o'clock in the night, a disgusting act of erasing facts and evidence, a living example of female atrocity has been taking place continuously in Uttar Pradesh.
JPCC Spokesmen Alok Kumar Dubey, Lal Kishorenath Shahdeo and Rajesh Gupta demanded immediate action against the culprits and said that it is shameful to misbehave with senior party leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, who are going to meet Hathras in Uttar Pradesh and the victim's family.
JPPC Chief Aditya Vikram Jaisawal was also present on the occasion.
