Priyanka Gandhi, Sanjay Raut condemn Bulandshahr murders, appeal against communalising issue

Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut lashed out at the Uttar Pradesh government over deteriorating law and order situation in the state, specifically hihlighting the killing of two sadhus in the Bulandshahr district on this day. 

“Today in Bulandshahr, two sadhus were murdered while they were sleeping. The truth must come out after investigation in this heinous crime and at this stage nobody should politicize this issue,” Priyanka said, adding, “In UP before April 15, about 100 people have been murdered. Three days back in Etah, five of a Pachauri family have been killed so mysteriously that no body knew what has happened.”

The Congress leader urged the UP government for thorough and fair investigation to bring out the truth behind the murders as it is the state government`s responsibility.

..ऐसे जघन्य अपराधों की गहराई से जाँच होनी चाहिए और इस समय किसी को भी इस मामले का राजनीतिकरण नहीं करना चाहिए।

निष्पक्ष जाँच करके पूरा सच प्रदेश के समक्ष लाना चाहिए। यह सरकार की ज़िम्मेदारी है।
