Hathras, Karauli Comparisons Precipitated By way of “Political Pursuits”: Congress

New Delhi:

The Congress on Sunday mentioned the ones making comparisons between the incidents in Hathras and Karauli have been doing so for “vested political pursuits” as whilst justice was once now not performed in Uttar Pradesh, suggested motion was once taken in Rajasthan.

In UP’s Hathras, a 19-year-old Dalit girl was once allegedly raped via 4 upper-caste males on September 14 and he or she died of her accidents at a Delhi clinic a fortnight later, whilst in Rajasthan’s Karauli, a temple priest died Wednesday after being set afire allegedly via land-grabbers.

The BJP has attacked the Ashok Gehlot-led Congress govt in Rajasthan over the incident.

Requested concerning the two incidents at a press convention, Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi mentioned, “Let me be very transparent that to match as is being performed via innuendo and insinuation via vested political pursuits, between Karauli and Hathras, is to make a mockery of justice.”

“Each homicide, and it’s the very best crime in our penal e book, is despicable, dastardly and should be condemned, be it Hathras and be it Karauli. However that isn’t the level. Did you may have a middle of the night cremation in Karauli? Solution is ‘No”. Did you may have it in UP? Solution is ‘Sure”.

“Did you save you get entry to to all political leaders and all reporters… for 5 days, ”dhakkam-dhakka” (shoving and pushing), abuse, however, no get entry to, it didn’t occur in Rajasthan. However, it came about in UP,” Mr Singhvi mentioned.

He steered everybody to make a difference between the 2 incidents, saying that justice was once performed in Rajasthan with suggested motion.

“One is justice, one is injustice. So earlier than you’re making comparisons, seek your soul and don”t assume the folk of India are fools,” Mr Singhvi mentioned.

The BJP had previous hit out on the Congress over incidents of crime in Rajasthan, announcing regulation and order within the state has “long gone for a toss” and requested Rahul Gandhi to concentrate on it as a substitute of visiting BJP-ruled states for “political tourism”.

In UP, the Yogi Adityanath govt is preventing serious grievance for its dealing with of the Hathras case, in particular after the native police cremated the lady”s frame at evening allegedly with out the circle of relatives”s approval.

Alternatively, officers had mentioned the cremation was once performed “as in line with the desires of the circle of relatives”.

The Hathras gang-rape and homicide case is being probed via the CBI which registered an FIR Sunday morning.
