New Delhi: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Saturday alleged that the Yogi Adityanath government was threatening the family of the Hathras gang-rape victim and asserted that such behaviour was not acceptable to the country.
Hitting out at the Yogi Adityanath dispensation, Priyanka Gandhi said the UP government is “morally corrupt”.
“The victim did not get treatment, her complaint was not registered on time, her body was forcibly cremated, the family is in captivity, they are being suppressed — now they are being threatened that they will have to undergo a narco test,” she said in a tweet in Hindi.
“This behaviour is not acceptable to the country. Stop threatening the victim’s family,” she said.
Congress MP and senior lawyer Vivek Tankha said he has discussed with party colleague and senior lawyer Kapil Sibal the issue of “confinement” of the Hathras victim’s family, alleging that they were not allowed to meet anyone, including lawyer, doctor, media or well-wishers.
“Gross violation of their fundamental right to life & liberty. @myogiadityanath advised to lift it otherwise we move court,” he said on Twitter.
