Varanasi, (the states. news)
Women and Child
Development minister Smriti Irani on Saturday condemned the politics over
Hathras gangrape-murder case and said the Yogi Government had set up an SIT to
go into the issue and action would be taken once its report was submitted.
Assuring justice to the grieving family of the Hathras victim, she said “I
am confident that the Yogi Government
will take full action against the guilty,” she told a press conference
here, adding that “I myself have spoken to
the CM and he has set up an SIT and dismissed the Superintendent of
Police.”
Taking on the Opposition over what she called “selective political
outrage”, the WCD Minister said “People are
aware of Congress’ tactics and that is why they ensured a historic win for BJP
in 2019 polls. People
understand that their visit to Hathras is for their politics and not for
justice to the victim” referring to
former Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s scheduled visit to Hathras.
The public, she said, “understands that his journey towards Hathras is
for politics and not for justice.”
Asked about the spate of rape cases, Smriti Irani said though the Nirbhaya fund
was set up in 2013, not a single
rupee had been distributed to the state governments by the previous government.
It was the Modi Government
that had given Rs 9,000 crore to the states out of the Nirbhaya funds, besides
setting up a women help desk,
one stop crisis in 2017 and anti-trafficking units in all districts, she
pointed out. (uni) (media saheb.com)
