Gandhi reiterated that the INDIA bloc, which respects the Constitution, is committed to protecting the Bahujans from “these oppressors who follow the path of Manusmriti.”“We will get all the promises fulfilled, we will get them justice,” he said.Taking to X, Gandhi wrote, “Listen carefully and feel every word filled with despair of the family of Hathras rape victim. They are still in fear. Their situation confirms that it has become extremely difficult for Dalits to get justice.”“We are with this family – we will relocate their house and provide all necessary assistance,” he said.He also shared the video on Facebook, stating: “The family of Hathras victim was promised by UP’s BJP government that a government job – which was not given. Fast track court – justice still pending. And safe relocation – house arrest. We will get justice for the victim’s family – we, INDIA bloc, who believe in the Constitution, will make arrangements for their freedom and relocation.”The video features Gandhi listening to the victim’s family, who claim they have been denied justice and are not allowed to leave their house. They alleged that they had neither received a job nor any relocation assistance.On 12 December, Gandhi met with the family of the Dalit woman in Hathras, who passed away following her alleged gang-rape in September 2020. Gandhi alleged that the family is being treated like “criminals.”The family reportedly reached out to Gandhi earlier this year, seeking his support in obtaining “justice,” according to the Congress, which shared a letter addressed to the Leader of Opposition by the woman’s father.
