Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today met the family of a 22-year-old Dalit man who was shot dead recently in Salon area of Raebareli. During this, Rahul told the victim’s family that he will ensure that the family gets justice.
Rahul Gandhi claimed that the people of the area are angry because no action is being taken against the ‘mastermind’ behind the murder. While talking to reporters in Bhuwalpur Sisni village, Rahul Gandhi said, ‘Everyone here is demanding justice because a Dalit man has been murdered. His entire family has been threatened, a person has been murdered, but no action is being taken here.
Rahul Gandhi is also the MP of this area. In such a situation, he met the victim’s family and said that the SP (Superintendent of Police) here is not taking action against the mastermind, he is arresting small people. I want that every section of the society should be respected in Uttar Pradesh and everyone should get justice. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said that until this family gets justice, we will not step back.
Rahul Gandhi said that I have spoken to the mother of the deceased person. She told me that her son was a barber. About 6-7 people used to come to him and get their hair cut. But they did not pay. The last time they came, he asked for money from them and those people killed him. This is clearly injustice. What punishment these culprits will get depends on the court, but I will definitely put pressure and will not back down.
Let us tell you that a person named Arjun Pasi was shot dead on August 11 after a dispute with some local people. According to the police, six people have been arrested so far in the case. There is anger among the local people after this incident and in such a situation, MP Rahul Gandhi reached Fursatganj airport in the nearby Amethi district at around 1 pm and left directly for Bhuwalpur Sisni village in Rae Bareli. He was accompanied by Congress Uttar Pradesh unit president Ajay Rai, AICC general secretary in-charge of the state Avinash Pandey and senior party leader Pramod Tiwari, among others.
