Rahul Gandhi asked people to pressurize the government to provide justice to women
New Delhi. Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi again targeted the BJP government of Uttar Pradesh on Monday over the alleged gang rape and murder of a Dalit girl in Hathras and alleged that the government was the victim of the incident after meeting the victim’s family.

Releasing the video as part of a social media campaign run by the party’s ‘Speakup for Women’s Safety’ hashtag, Rahul Gandhi also said that people should pressurize the government to provide justice to women.
He claimed, “The attitude of the government in the Hathras incident is inhuman and immoral. They are engaged in protecting the criminals rather than helping the victim family. ” Referring to the developments related to his visit to Hathras, the Congress leader said, “I could not understand why I was not being allowed to meet that family.” After all, the daughter of that family was killed and raped. As soon as I met the family and started talking, the government started attacking the family. ” He said, “It is not the government’s job to help the criminals, it is not the government’s job to protect the criminals.” The government’s job is to deliver justice to victims and punish criminals. This government is not doing this work, that’s why I was being stopped. “
Rahul Gandhi emphasized this, “I want to tell the government that you start the work of putting criminals in jail and protecting the victims.” He said, “This is not just a story of a woman. This is the story of millions of women. These women are looking towards the government and the government is not doing its job. We have to change the society because what is done in this society with our mothers and sisters is sheer injustice. ” As part of this campaign, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra tweeted, “Crimes on women are increasing. Meanwhile, instead of listening to the truth and their voices of the oppressed women, defaming them, accusing them is the most shameful and rude act. But the women of the country will no longer be silent. “
