PTI, NEW DELHI: Jun 23 (PTI) The Congress Sunday slammed the BJP government in Uttar Pradesh over alleged atrocities against women and girls, alleging that a “jungle raj-like eclipse” has been cast over law and order in the state.
Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala alleged that under the Yogi Adityanath rule, the trend of atrocities against women and innocent girls continues.
“Under the BJP rule in Uttar Pradesh, jungle raj-like eclipse has been cast over law and order,” he tweeted in Hindi, tagging a media report on the alleged rape of a four-year-old girl in Aligarh. “Let alone getting justice for the victims, the UP government is sitting like Dhritrashtra with a blindfold,” he said.
Surjewala also slammed the UP government over the killing of a Dalit girl in Unnao and alleged that law and order has collapsed in the state. “The Ajay Singh Bisht rule has become synonymous with Dalit atrocities and heinous crimes,” he said in another tweet.
The Congress leader termed as “very shameful” the rape and killing of a minor girl, he said.
“The law and order situation has collapsed due to the incidents in Kushinagar, Pratapgarh, Muzaffarnagar, Gorakhpur,” Surjewala said, referring to recent crimes in the state. “Is this jungle raj or not,” he asked.
A 12-year-old girl was allegedly abducted, when she was sleeping with family members outside their house, and later killed in a village in Unnao on the intervening night of Thursday and Friday.
