Rahul's counter to 'Gandhis don't care' comment

October 24, 2020 20:20

The governments of Punjab and Rajasthan are not denying incidents of rapes unlike in Uttar Pradesh, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Saturday, hitting back at the BJP who accused the opposition leader and his family of raising issues to only settle political scores.

"Unlike in UP, the governments of Punjab and Rajasthan are NOT denying that the girl was raped, threatening her family and blocking the course of justice. If they do, I will go there to fight for justice," Rahul Gandhi tweeted.

Earlier in the day, Union Ministers Prakash Javadekar and Nirmala Sitharaman had lashed out at Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra over the alleged rape and murder of a 6-year-old Dalit girl in Punjab's Hoshiarpur district.
