Crush the weak, this is Modi's attitude : Rahul Gandhi after visiting house of Haryana dalit children
Faridabad, Oct 21 (IBNS) Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday blamed the attitude "shared" by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the saffron brigade for the death of two dalit children who were burnt alive at a vilage in Haryana.
"This is an attitude shared by the Prime Minister, the Chief Minister, the BJP and the RSS - if somebody is weak, they can be crushed. What you are seeing is the result of this attitude," Gandhi said after meeting the family at the Sonped village.
"This government is not for the poor", he said.
Haryana is ruled by the BJP, which also leads the ruling coalition at the Centre.
The two children were killed on Monday after their house was set on fire allegedly by some people belonging to an upper caste.
The children's parents were also injured in the injured. The mother is now battling for life with 70 per cent burn injuries.
Local people blocked a national highway in protest against the incident. They also said the bodies will not be cremated unless those guilty are arrested.
Later in the day, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar is also likely to visit the family.
The family has alleged that the attack was the fallout of a long-standing feud with a group of upper caste people in the village.
Eleven people, including a father-son duo, have been booked in the case, but only 3 arrests have been made so far. The rest are absconding.
