Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut has reacted over Congress leader Rahul Gandhi being roughed up by police on his way to Hathras, at Yamuna Expressway on Thursday.
Raut said,""Rahul Gandhi is a national political leader. We may have differences with Congress but nobody can support Police's behaviour with him...His collar was caught & he was pushed to the ground, in a way it's gangrape of country's democracy."
Earlier NCP chief Sharad Pawar had condemned UP Police's behaviour towards Rahul Gandhi. He wrote ,"Reckless behaviour of UP Police towards @INCIndia leader Shri @RahulGandhi is extremely condemnable. It is reprehensible for those who are supposed to uphold the law to trample upon the democratic values in such a manner.
On Thursday, Uttar Pradesh Police personnel pushed former Congress President Rahul Gandhi on the ground near the Yamuna Expressway and arrested him along with his sister and party General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, while they were walking towards Hathras to meet the family of the rape victim.
A 19-year-old Dalit woman was allegedly assaulted by a group of men on September 14 while she was working in the fields with her family. The victim died in Safdarjung Hospital on Tuesday.
