New Delhi, Oct 3 (IANS): Two days after former Congress President Rahul Gandhi was roughed up while marching towards Hathras to meet the victim's family, he will once again attempt to go to the Uttar Pradesh district on Saturday along with several party leaders.

According to party leaders, several Congress MPs under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi will go to Hathras on Saturday afternoon to meet the grieving family of the 19-year-old woman, who was brutally assaulted and murdered, and her body was cremated surreptitiously in the middle of the night by the administration.

A party leader said that the Congress delegation led by Rahul Gandhi will meet the family members to hear their grievances and demand justice for the victim and her family, who have been denied justice and left severely traumatized by the BJP government in their desperate attempt to hide the truth of the heinous crime perpetrated on the victim.

Rahul Gandhi was supposed to participate in a tractor rally in Punjab on Saturday. However, the tractor rally against the controversial farm laws has been postponed to Sunday.

The village of the victim has been sealed off for the last two days where the media and other political groups are not allowed to go inside.

On Friday, Trinamool Congress MP Derek O'Brien was also stopped by the Uttar Pradesh Police just a few kms away from the village of the victim in the Hathras district.

On Friday, Priyanka Gandhi attended a prayer meeting at the Valmiki temple for the Hathras rape victim and said that the family of the woman 'should not feel alone'.

On Thursday, Rahul Gandhi along with Priyanka Gandhi tried to go to Hathras, however, they were not allowed to pass the Gautam Buddha Nagar district and their vehicles were stopped on the Yamuna Expressway.

The Congress leaders then started marching towards Hathras following which the Uttar Pradesh Police personnel manhandled Rahul Gandhi. In the scuffle with police personnel, he fell on the ground.

The Congress leaders were then detained by the Uttar Pradesh Police and then sent back to Delhi.

The 19-year-old Dalit woman was allegedly gang-raped in Hathras by four men. She died at Delhi's Safdarjung hospital on Tuesday morning.

    Gandhiji had said "If someone slaps on your cheek, give him another"

    After these rapes now, I think, he would give lathi to the girl and say:
    "Take this beti, this is not 1947, now it is time for you to protect yourself"

    Gandhiji borrowed this from Jesus Christ, who said, " If someone slaps on the cheek, turn to them the other also." ( Luke 6:29 a. - The New International Version of the Bible).

    Bhakts finding it very hard to defend this !!! Since no one before has ever cremated the dead body at midnight without handing over to the family....!!

    Tapping the phone calls, media barred, burning the body, DM threatening the family, ordering narco test on the family of victim ... What's going on !! How can people defend this gross mismanagement and insanity?

    I doubt yaar. Sounds like a 'self goal ' by Congress. RaGa or Congress protests are very selective . If he had done the same ' visits' for Rajasthan minor rapes last week and the Palghar lynching in Mumbai last month, then people would have accepted him as a 'serious ' leader. This episode will be just those numerous temporary attempts for revival that would be forgotten once the issues dies. Moreover Yogi has suspended the cops yesterday and investigation is on . Visiting Hathras today and do what ? is the question?. Does not serve any purpose and would be brushed off as a political stunt.

    What has happened to your conscious ? The topic is about the atrocity of the Govt and you are obsessed with the Gandhis?
    Calling UP as Gunda Raj under the present govt will be an understatement.
    Enough of your "WHATBOUTERY" empty rhetorics.
    Learn to accept mistake and get over with it. Its not about RaGa or Congress...Its about the treatment given by the Yogi Govt to the poor girl and her family...WHich state has cremated the body in front of the family who was held under captivity?
    Surely police and administration wont burn the body at midnight without the nod of higher officials ???

    Police dont take orders from Yogi directly. It was police mistake. They are punished by suspension. what abount the agents who tried to influence the family of victims as to the type of statement they have to give.

    You fail to understand. Government is responsible for protection of its citizens. Rape itself is a failure. But the events that followed after the Hathras case is compelete failure of government. Victim's family is being treated as criminals by government. Shocking to say the least!
