Isn't the daughter of the Dalit of Rajasthan and Punjab the daughter of the country? BJP attacks Rahul Gandhi

New Delhi, 4 August 2021, Wednesday

Politics is heating up over the alleged rape and subsequent murder of an innocent nine-year-old girl in Delhi's Nangal village.

The BJP has raised questions on the Congress while political leaders are meeting with the victim's family. It may be mentioned that Rahul Gandhi went to meet the family of a Dalit girl. Now the BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra has questioned why Rahul Gandhi is silent on the atrocities on Dalit daughters in the Congress-ruled regions.

He said that Rahul Gandhi had also violated the law by revealing the identity of the parents of the deceased girl and had appealed to the Child Rights Protection Commission to take action against them.

He said that if Rahul Gandhi says that the daughter of a Dalit is also the daughter of Hindustan, then the question is whether the daughter of a Dalit in Rajasthan should be called the daughter of Hindustan or not, the daughter of a Dalit from Tada village in Hoshiarpur, Punjab. Will we now raise our voice for the Dalits by seeing whose government is in whose state?

"To express concern over the incidence of rape in one state and to remain silent on the incidence of rape in other states and also to see whose government is in which state," Patra said. So that kind of attitude is also a heinous crime. Rape is rape, then it is in Delhi, in Rajasthan, in Chhattisgarh.

The BJP said that Rajasthan is at the top in terms of rape. In six months, the incidence of rape in Rajasthan has increased by 30 per cent and the Gehlot government had told the assembly that the number of rape cases has gone up as Dalit women make false allegations of rape.
