NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi expressed his displeasure over an inhuman act of a Bharatiya Janata Party leader of urinating on a tribal youth.
The BJP leader, identified as Pravesh Shukla, was caught on camera, the other day, urinating on the tribal youth in Sidhi district of Madhya Pradesh. Pravesh Shukla is a close associate of a BJP Member of Madhya Pradesh Assembly.
Taking to Twitter, Rahul Gandhi said the real face of BJP’s hatred towards tribals and Dalits was exposed by this “inhuman act”.
“Atrocities on tribal brothers and sisters are increasing under BJP rule. The entire humanity has been put to shame by the inhuman crime of a BJP leader in Madhya Pradesh,” said the Congress leader.
Calling the act “inhuman”, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also slammed the saffron party. She said, “The inhuman and disgusting act by a person close to a BJP MLA committed against a tribal youth in Madhya Pradesh is extremely shameful.”
She further said, “During the 18 years of BJP rule in the state, 30,400 cases of atrocities on tribals have come to the fore. Under the BJP rule, there are only empty claims and empty words about tribal interests. Why doesn’t the government take real steps to stop atrocities against tribals?”
