Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi along with other senior party leaders arrived in violence-hit Saharanpur district, despite authorities denying him permission to visit the area. Mr Gandhi, however, met the victims’ families of Sabbirpur village at Sarsawa village on the Haryana-UP border in Saharanpur and talked to them for about 15 minutes.
Later talking to reporters, Mr Gandhi said, “Yogi Adityanath government has failed in maintaining law and order in UP. Everybody in the country, who is not powerful, is scared. This is not the way to run a country.”
“I am going back because the administration has told me to do so. As soon as normalcy will be restored, they will take me to the villages,” he said.
The Congress vice-president said, “I wanted to visit Sabbirpur but was not allowed. Actually, the authorities had stopped me at the border, but I somehow reached here at Sarsawa village.”
