Bhim Army Chief Chandrashekar Azad said,”In the same Uttar Pradesh that elected him and sent him to parliament, there is brutality against a daughter from Hathras. She was raped and murdered… her bones were broken. And her body cremated like garbage. When there is human rights violation in Uttar Pradesh, does not the Prime Minister say a word?”
“Neither can the Prime Minister hear her screams nor her family’s screams. How long will you stay silent, Prime Minister? You will have to give answers. Today, at 5 pm, we are coming to India Gate to demand answers. Your silence is a danger for our daughters,” he further added.
Bhim Army Chief Chandrashekar Azad has said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has to “speak… you will have to give answers and you will have to ensure justice is delivered”.
Bhim Army Chief Azad has called for a protest march at India Gate where theDelhi Police on Friday cautioned against any gathering as Section 144 of CrPC has been imposed.
