TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi today demanded an apology from Prime Minister Narendra Modi for police action against students at Banaras Hindu University during a protest over an eve-teasing incident.
Gandhi, on a three-day tour of poll-bound Gujarat, said the PM should tender apology as the incident took place in his constituency, Varanasi.
“The incident at BHU is BJP’s version of `Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’. And, when they (girls) demand their rights, beat them up. This incident happened in the PM’s constituency.
Modiji should apologise to the students of BHU and take immediate action,” Gandhi told reporters here. Earlier in the day, Gandhi slammed the BJP over police baton-charge on woman students through a tweet.
Attaching link to a video of woman students, who alleged they were beaten up by policemen, Gandhi tweeted, “BJP version of Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao in BHU”.
