Priyanka Gandhi Comes to the Rescue of Congress Worker During Lathi Charge by UP Police
New Delhi: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi was manhandled when she came to the saving of a worker of her party during lathi charge by UP police at the Delhi-Noida Direct flyover on Saturday.
Policemen deployed at DNF flyover resorted to lathi-charge to disperse Congress workers who gather when Priyanka Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and other party leaders were on the way to Uttar Pradesh’s Hathras.
In a video surfaced on social media, Priyanka Gandhi is seen hopping a small yellow barricade and rushing to shield a man in a white kurta as policemen with raised lathis surround her. The Congress leader stands resolutely between the man, who appeared to be injured, and the cops. She helps him to sit down by the side of the road and stands by his side.
Later Priyanka and Rahul Gandhi have been allowed to visit Hathras. Today, the brother-sister duo, along with three other party leaders, was allowed to meet the family of the 19-year-old Hathras girl who died four days ago after being allegedly gang-raped by upper-caste men.
It was the Gandhi siblings second try to reach Hathras where they are planning to meet the grieving family of the 19-year-old woman, who was brutally assaulted and murdered.
