The Congress on Sunday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over rising number rape incidents in various parts of the country, alleging that rule of law has broken but the PM chooses to remain “mute” and has not said a word on it.
Congress’ chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala also tagged a video of Prime Minister Modi attacking the then Congress government over rape incidents in Delhi. “Unnao, Etawah, Hyderabad, Palwal-Faridabad, the horror continues! Rape victims cry out for justice as soul of India hurts!” Surjewala said in a tweet.
“Criminals roam free as rule of law breaks down! But ‘Modiji’ is ‘mute’…No remorse, No outrage, Not a word. And no one will question the PM? Why? he asked in a tweet.
