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 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.
