Congress chief Rahul Gandhi criticized the BJP over the Lakhimpur Kheri violence, saying that girls’s security cannot be expected from those facilitating the release of rapists. In Uttar Pradesh’s Lakhimpur Kheri, two minor Dalit women had been kidnapped, murdered, and their our bodies had been discovered hanging from a tree. The two teenage sisters had been discovered hanging from a tree in a sugarcane area positioned a few kilometer away from their home in Nighasan police station limits in Lakhimpur Kheri on Wednesday, police knowledgeable.
Six folks had been arrested on Thursday in reference to the rape and homicide of the 2 women. “The kidnapping and murder of two minor Dalit sisters in Lakhimpur in broad daylight is a very disturbing incident,” Gandhi mentioned in a tweet in Hindi. “Women’s safety cannot be expected from those facilitating the release of rapists and welcoming them,” the previous Congress chief mentioned with an obvious reference to 11 convicts within the Bilkis Bano gangrape case being let out final month from the Godhra sub-jail after the BJP-led Gujarat authorities allowed their release below its remission coverage.Â
Gandhi emphasised the necessity for making a protected atmosphere within the nation for ladies. As quickly because the information in regards to the alleged homicide of the Dalit women broke, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra attacked the BJP-led Uttar Pradesh authorities over “increasing” crimes towards ladies within the state.
“The killings of two sisters in Lakhimpur (UP) are heart-wrenching. The relatives say that the girls were abducted in broad daylight,” Priyanka Gandhi mentioned in a tweet in Hindi. “Giving false advertisements in newspapers and television every day does not improve law and order. After all, why are heinous crimes against women increasing in Uttar Pradesh?” the Congress normal secretary mentioned. When will the federal government get up, she requested.
Lakhimpur Kheri Superintendent of Police (SP) instructed reporters, “We have arrested Junaid, Sohail, Hafizur Rehman, Karimuddin, Arif, and Chottu in an overnight operation.” “As per the preliminary investigation, the two sisters left their home on Wednesday afternoon on the persuasion of Junaid and Sohail. Junaid and Sohail have confessed that they strangulated the girls after raping them,” mentioned the SP.
