TIL Desk/National/Maharashtra/ Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Friday blamed the RSS and Bharatiya Janata Party’ politics after three Dalit boys were paraded nude and assaulted for swimming in a village well in Wakadi village. “The sole crime of these Dalit children was they were taking a dip in a well. Humanity is struggling to save its dignity,” Gandhi tweeted today.
He said if we don’t raise our voices against this politics of hate and poison of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and BJP, history would not forgive us. Gandhi’s comments on the issue, which has snowballed into a major political controversy, came even as a high-level team of Maharashtra Congress visited the village to assess the situation.
Strongly condemning the outrage on the Dalit boys, Union Minister for Social Welfare Ramdas Athawale said he will visit the village to meet the victims and their families. On June 10, three minor Dalit boys were stripped, beaten and paraded nude in Wakadi village here for allegedly swimming in a village well. The incident served as a major embarrassment for the ruling BJP-Shiv Sena combine even as Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis is on a tour of Dubai, Canada and the US to attract investment.
