The TMC on Friday alleged that its leaders had been stopped by the Uttar Pradesh Police from assembly the family members of the Hathras gangrape victim.
In an announcement, the occasion mentioned that the delegation of Trinamool Congress MPs was stopped by police round 1.5 kilometres from the victim’s dwelling.
“A delegation of Trinamool MPs have been stopped by UP Police from entering Hathras. The delegation had travelled about 200kms from Delhi. The Trinamool MPs were on their way to the village in Hathras, travelling separately, to express solidarity with the grieving family and convey their condolences,” the assertion mentioned.
The delegation included Derek O’Brien, Dr Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, Pratima Mondal and former MP Mamata Thakur.
One of the MPs who was stopped mentioned, “We are peacefully proceeding to Hathras to meet the family and pay our condolences. We are travelling individually and maintaining all protocols. We are not armed. Why are we stopped? What kind of jungle raj is this that elected MPs are prevented from meeting a grieving family.”
“At this moment, we are just 1.5 kms from the victims home in Hathras, explaining to police officials that we will walk the 1.5kms to the victims house in Hathras,” the assertion mentioned quoting the MP.
Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra had been on Thursday arrested by the Uttar Pradesh Police after they had been stopped from marching in direction of Hathras to fulfill the family members of the Dalit lady allegedly raped by 4 males on September 14.
