Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday met the family of the nine-year-old girl who was raped and murdered in Delhi's Cantonment area, and whose body was forcibly cremated by her attackers. Public fury has exploded over the horrific incident - which has been compared to the gangrape of a Dalit woman in Uttar Pradesh's Hathras in September last year - with opposition leaders and civil society activists calling for swift action against the accused. Mr Gandhi tweeted yesterday, calling the young girl who was murdered "the nation's daughter". "Dalit's child is also the nation's daughter," he tweeted in Hindi with the screen shot of a news report of the incident.
