Muzaffarpur rape case: Opposition joins RJD’s protests in the national capital

Date:

The Rashtriya Janta Dal held a protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar on Saturday, following the Muzaffarpur rape cases. Congress president Rahul Gandhi, CPI’s D Raja and Atul Kumar Anjan, and Loktantrik Janata Dal leader Sharad Yadav were among the prominent leaders at the protest.

‘ We have gathered here for the women of our country and we stand with them. If Nitish ji is really feeling ashamed then he should take immediate action’ Congress President Rahul Gandhi said.

Tejashwi earlier wrote a letter to chief minister Nitish Kumar, raising serious concern over the safety of girls in Bihar. “Having seven sisters, it pains me to even imagine what the little girls at the shelter home were forced to undergo. It is a most shameful incident. When we raised it in the assembly, the government tried to mislead the house.
“Were they not Bihar’s daughters? Has our conscience died? Whatever happened with the girls amounted to betrayal of their trust, given that they were promised protection there. What they got in return was physical, mental and sexual torture. The culprits should be hanged once their guilt is established in court,” he wrote.

Tejashwi declared that the dharna in Delhi was aimed at bringing “the true picture of present-day Bihar” before the entire country. “It cannot get worse than this. The manner in which they tried to hush up the matter at the very beginning smacks of a deep-rooted conspiracy,” he said, adding that the authorities delayed FIRs and manipulated inspection reports in connection with the crime.
He also said that a lot of questions remain unanswered till now.
