NEW DELHI: BJP on Tuesday accused Rahul Gandhi of taking part in politics over the incident of the Odisha pupil committing self-immolation, after he termed the dying a “murder by BJP system”.Rahul mentioned the “brave student” raised her voice towards sexual harassment, however as a substitute of being given justice, she was harassed and threatened by “those who were supposed to protect her”. “As always, BJP’s system continued to shield the accused – & forced an innocent daughter to set herself on fire. This is not suicide, it is an organised murder by the system,” he mentioned.Reacting to this, Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan mentioned the “cheap politics” performed by Rahul Gandhi and Congress on the tragic incident involving Odisha’s daughter is extraordinarily unlucky. “Turning a serious and sensitive matter into a political weapon reflects his petty mindset. The incident in Odisha has shaken the entire nation, but Congress has seized this opportunity to bake its political bread,” Pradhan mentioned.Rahul additionally alleged PM Narendra Modi retains silent on ladies’s deaths – “be it in Odisha or Manipur”. “The country doesn’t need your silence, it needs answers. India’s daughters need safety and justice,” he mentioned.Pradhan mentioned the PM and BJP have all the time taken concrete steps for ladies’s security and justice, whereas Congress has persistently sought alternatives in each tragedy. “BJP government in Odisha stands with the victim’s family, and the strictest action will be taken against the culprits,” he added.
