Hathras rape case Live news Updates: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday said those who harm the honour of women will be given such punishment that will set an example for future. Taking to Twitter, Yogi said, “Destruction is certain of those who even think of harming the honour and self-respect of mothers and sisters in UP.” The UP government is committed towards the safety of women of the state, he added.
Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut Friday condemned the way Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was treated by the UP Police when he was on his way to meet Hathras victim’s family, and termed it as “gang-rape of democracy”. Gandhi was a leader of a prominent political party, Gandhi said, adding that nobody would support the way he was “manhandled” by the police. “We may have differences with the Congress party. He (Rahul Gandhi) can be stopped from going to Hathras citing imposition of section 144, but the way police behaved with him holding his collar…the way he was pushed and then thrown on the ground was highly condemnable,” he said.
Meanwhile, a delegation of Trinamool MPs, including Derek O’ Brien, Dr Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, Pratima Mondal and Mamata Thakur, was stopped by the Uttar Pradesh Police from entering Hathras, where a 19-year-old Dalit woman was allegedly gangraped two weeks ago and later died in a Delhi hospital, triggering nationwide outrage. Derek O’ Brien was also shoved by a Joint Magistrate when he got into an argument with the cops. The MPs had travelled about 200 kms from Delhi and were reportedly stopped around two km from the victim’s house. This comes a day after Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi were detained by the UP Police while they were on their way to Hathras.
Meanwhile, Bhim Army Chief Chandra Shekhar Azad has called for a protest at Delhi’s India Gate even as the police have said that no gathering is allowed there due to the imposition of Section 144 of the CrPC. However, the police said a gathering of up to 100 people is permissible at Jantar Mantar but after prior permission from a competent authority.
