The Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitaraman targeted Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra over the rape and murder of a six-year-old Dalit girl in the Hoshiarpur district Punjab.
Sitaraman accused the Congress leaders of visiting every single place which can help them politically. She was referring to their visit to Uttar Pradesh Hathras district earlier this month amid a high clash with the state government.
The BJP is making the point that while Congress leaders visited every single place which can help them politically, including Hathras in Uttar Pradesh, they are silent on this case which involves the child of a Bihari migrant laborer.
“A six-year-old girl raped then killed and the body half-burnt in Hoshiarpur and it doesn’t shake the conscience of the brother and sister who rush to every other place which can help them politically,” the BJP leader said about the crime in the Congress-ruled state.
Sitaraman also slammed the state administration over their handling of the rape case. She assured her support to the victim’s family. Meanwhile the Union Minister Prakash
Javedkar also hit out at Congress leaders for their stand in this case.
