A day after Rajasthan police reportedly charge-sheeted Pehlu Khan, Gehlot tweets that the Congress is committed to ensuring no more lynchings take place.
The meeting comes amid Rahul Gandhi insisting on stepping down as chief after the party's disastrous performance in Lok Sabha polls. The party had drawn a blank in all 25 seats in Rajasthan.
Congress president Rahul Gandhi, accompanied by Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot and deputy CM Sachin Pilot, said that the matter for him was an 'emotional' and not political one.
Congress had fielded Tanushree Tripathi, daughter of controversial UP strongman Amarmani Tripathi, from Maharajganj but withdrew her name after criticism.
Newly-appointed Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot has a reputation of being a shrewd politician and one with a ‘clean image, ground-level connect and accessibility’.
The claim that VB-GRAMG provides an employment guarantee is incorrect. The only guarantee is to 'empower' the Centre to allow partial implementation in notified areas alone.
It is argued that India-Israel ties are moving from buyer–seller dynamic to one focused on joint development & manufacturing partnership, a shift 'more durable' than traditional arms sales.
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
What greater punishment could have been awarded to Pehlu Khan than being lynched ? At least in cases where a person loses his life in this fashion, the case of cow smuggling should be dropped. The Print team might wish to do a compilation of all lynching cases related to cows, how many perpetrators have been brought to trial, actually convicted. 2. In this case itself, if memory serves one right, Pehlu Khan had named the assaulters, a dying declaration has great evidentiary value, but call records showed – were manipulated ? – that the men were elsewhere. Why doesn’t three term CM Gehlot put that earlier exoneration under the scanner ? The Congress is falling between the two stools of profit and principle.
