New Delhi, September 12: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra expressed her grief on the assault of an Army Officer and his friend in Madhya Pradesh and the alleged sexual assault of their female friend, terming the incident “heart-wrenching."
In a post on X, Priyanka said, "The incidents in Madhya Pradesh, where military officials were taken hostage and a woman was gang-raped, and in Uttar Pradesh where a woman's naked body was found on a highway, are heart-wrenching."
Highlighting that around 86 women fall victim to rape and brutality every day, the Congress general secretary said that these brutalities crush the morale of millions of women every day.
"Every day, 86 women in the country fall victim to rape and brutality. From home to the streets, and from roads to offices, women are unsafe everywhere. Not only is half of the country's population insecure, but these brutalities also crush the morale of millions of women every day," she added in the post.
She also attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party government saying despite Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "big statements" about women's safety; women across the country are still awaiting serious action to ensure their protection.
"While the Prime Minister makes big statements about women's safety, women across the country are still waiting for serious action to ensure their protection. When will this wait finally end?" she added in the post. (ANI)
