Rahul, Priyanka aim at Scindia over Guna Dalit’s thrashing by police

New Delhi, July 16, 2020-

Former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi and party General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday took a swipe at former party leader and Gwalior royal Jyotiraditya Scindia over the thrashing of a Dalit family by the Madhya Pradesh Police in Guna district.

“Our fight is against this ideology and injustice,” Rahul Gandhi said in a tweet attaching the video of the Dalit family being thrashed by the police. Priyanka Gandhi also took to Twitter and wrote, “Attack on poor, Dalit, farmers and democracy. This is BJP’s trick, face and character. We will fight against this injustice fiercely.”

Scindia represented Guna in the Lok Sabha. By slamming the BJP government, the brother-sister duo targeted the former party leader, who was considered close to them.
