Forcible cremation shameful move of UP govt, says Rahul

New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday dubbed the “forcible cremation” of the Hathras gang-rape victim by police as a “shameful” move of the Uttar Pradesh government.

“It is a shameful move of the state government to oppress the Dalits and show them their place in society,” he tweeted in Hindi, tagging a news report on the cremation of the 19-year-old woman.

“Our fight is against this despicable thinking,” the Congress leader added.

ये सब सिर्फ़ दलितों को दबाकर उन्हें समाज में उनका ‘स्थान’ दिखाने के लिए UP सरकार की शर्मनाक चाल है।

हमारी लड़ाई इसी घृणित सोच के ख़िलाफ़ है।#HathrasHorrorShocksIndia pic.twitter.com/b6Gym5HbUd

Earlier, the party had demanded Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s resignation for “not acting in time”.

The 19-year-old Dalit woman from Hathras was cremated early Wednesday in her native village amid tight security.
