"People understand this hypocrisy": Shiv Sena's Shaina NC on Rahul Gandhi's Parbhani visit
Mumbai: Shiv Sena leader Shaina NC on Sunday took a dig at the "hypocricy" of the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi over his upcoming visit to Parbhani city in Maharashtra, saying that the Congress leader never displayed any concern over the scuffle that took place in parliament.
"Rahul Gandhi is coming to Parbhani by a special flight. He will come to Nanded, go to Parbhani and show that he is with Somnath Suryavanshi's family... My question is, when Rahul Gandhi sees such a scuffle outside the House, he does not even come out and is coming here with a special charter? People understand this hypocrisy. We are fully with Parbhani's Somnath Suryavanshi and his family, although we will never do any politics in this matter," Shaina NC told ANI.
Rahul Gandhi is set to visit on Monday the family members of Somnath Vyankat Suryawanshi, a law student who died in judicial custody after violence broke out in Parbhani city earlier this month. The violence broke out after an alleged vandalism of a replica of the Indian Constitution.
The Parbhani city violence has drawn sharp reactions from Congress leaders, with MPs Varsha Gaikwad and Praniti Shinde criticising the State government's handling of the situation.
Gaikwad condemned the violence and called for immediate action against those responsible. "Action should be taken against those who vandalised the statue of Baba Saheb Ambedkar in Parbhani," Gaikwad said.
She also slammed the state government for its handling of the situation, noting that a curfew had been imposed in the city without restoring peace.
She also criticised the authorities for their approach to law enforcement, stating, "They have failed to restore peace in Parbhani city. They should not register false cases."
