Rahul Gandhi meets Sambhal victims, condemns BJP's hate politics, vows justice.
Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday (December 10, 2024) met families of the victims of violence in Sambhal at his 10 Janpath residence and offered them all possible help to ensure justice.
Wayanad MP and Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was also present during the meeting.
The Congress later said in a post on X, "Today, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and Congress general secretary and MP Priyanka Gandhi met the victims of Sambhal. The incident in Sambhal is the ill-effects of BJP's hate politics and it is fatal for a peaceful society."
It also said, “Together, we have to defeat this violent and hateful mentality with love and brotherhood.” The Congress asserted that it stood with all the victims and would fight to get them justice.
The Uttar Pradesh government had earlier denied permission to both Mr. Gandhi and Ms. Vadra to travel to Sambhal and visit the victims' families.
The Gandhi siblings were on their way to Sambhal on December 4 but were stopped by the Uttar Pradesh Police at the Ghazipur border.
Mr. Gandhi had termed the action "anti-constitutional".
