Won't bow down: Rahul a day after UP protest

October 02, 2020 10:25

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday quoted Mahatma Gandhi in a tweet as he said he "won't bow down to any sort of injustice", a day after he was briefly detained while marching to Uttar Pradesh's Hathras.

"I won't be afraid of anyone in the world. I won't bow down to any sort of injustice. I will defeat lies with the power of truth, and will face all the struggles while fighting untruth... Heartiest greetings on Gandhi Jayanti," Rahul Gandhi tweeted in Hindi invoking Mahatma Gandhi on his 151st birth anniversary.

On Thursday, Rahul and Priyanka were arrested by the Uttar Pradesh Police at Yamuna Expressway in New Delhi while they were on the way to meet the Hathras gangrape victim's family.

Later, a case was registered against Gandhis, and over 200 others under section 188, 269 and 270 of the Indian Penal Code and the Epidemic Act, according to the Gautam Buddh Nagar Police.
