Priyanka Gandhi hails strong Allahabad HC suo motu order in Hathras case
The Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Friday welcomed Allahabad High Court’ order of summoning the top government and police officials of Uttar Pradesh police to assess their handling of the Hathras gang-rape case.
Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Friday hailed the Allahabad High Court’s order of summoning top government and police officers of Uttar Pradesh to assess their handling of the Hathras gang-rape case. Priyanka, the Congress general secretary for Uttar Pradesh, called the court’s summoning of officials a ray of hope and a strong and encouraging order. Priyanka and her brother Rahul Gandhi were briefly detained on their way to Hathras on Thursday.
The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court consisting of Justices Rajan Roy and Jaspreet Singh issued summons to the Uttar Pradesh additional chief secretary, DGP and ADGP , asking them to be present on October 12 to explain the case. The bench also ordered the Hathras district magistrate and senior superintendent of police to appear before it.
Vadra tweeted on Friday that the entire nation was demanding justice for the Hathras rape victim and the High Court order was a ray of hope amid the inhuman treatment meted out to the rape victim’s family by the UP government.
The High Court judges also summoned the family members of the Dalit woman, who was gang-raped on September 14 and succumbed to the injuries on September 29 in a Delhi hospital.

The court in its 11-page order took suo motu cognisance of the case and said the incidents shocked their conscience. The judges ordered the state to ensure that no coercion, influence or pressure was exerted upon the family members of the deceased, by anyone in any manner. The bench also asked officials to apprise the court of the status of the probe into the case.
Priyanka Gandhi in a series of tweets attacked UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and the poor state of law and order in the state. She said law and order in Uttar Pradesh has deteriorated to a great extent and no semblance of safety exists for women. Criminals were committing crimes openly, she tweeted. She also demanded severe punishment for the rapist-killers.

Former CM and Samajwadi chief Akhilesh Yadav shared a video of a policeman thrashing an ice cream vendor. Yadav in his tweet questioned the state of UP as he questioned the UP administration for their brutality.
Samajwadi Chief in his tweet also wrote and took a dig at the BJP by questioning if this is what they meant when they said that UP has worked for ease of doing business.
In the video, a policeman can be seen intercepting an ice cream vendor who was returning to his home. After stopping the ice cream vendor, the policeman out of the blue slapped the vendor without saying anything twice.
The vendor, in fear, can be seen continuing on as the unruly policeman returned back to the other side of the road. The video also shows several people complacently witnessing the assault by the policeman.
Watch video here:
The Samajwadi Party leader has been actively sharing videos from Uttar Pradesh in a bid to slam the UP government over their alleged inadequacy to govern. Yadav has, of late, increased the staunch attack on the Yogi government ahead of the Lok Sabha Election due in 2024.
Twitter reactions
After the video went viral, many users came forward to add their take on the incident as one user wrote and said that everyone is a goon nowadays, implying that the state of UP has boiled down to rule of goons.
One user wrote and highlighted how the policeman beat up the vendor, but didn’t say a word to the people in the car. The user further questioned if the police only show authority to the poor and not the rich. The user also alleged the UP police of torturing, killing and bullying the poor.
One user also wrote and slammed the government for being high on power and further accused the government and administration of using bulldozers on the public which is condemnable.
