The unfortunate death of the Hathras victim has led many people to come out and express their anger against the crime and hypocrisy shown by several higher authorities.
Sanjay Raut – MP of Shiv Sena party made a statement on Sunday, October 04, slamming the Bhartiya Janata Party and actress Kangana Ranaut asking why none of them are focusing on this issue.
Ranaut gained a lot of attention for speaking about the Bollywood industry as well as the injustice shown by the ruling party of Mumbai regarding the demolition of her office. This issue got a fair amount of media coverage too. She had also compared her office demolition in Mumbai to what happens in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Raut has pointed out this issue claiming the Hathras victim did not receive much media coverage and response from people of the higher authority because she was not a popular celebrity and belonged to lower sections of the society.
He also said that such cases happen in Pakistan too, where Hindu women are raped, murdered, and treated indifferently but nobody has compared the Hathras case to Pakistan yet. “Such incidents of kidnapping Hindu girls and then raping and murdering them take place in Pakistan… but nobody has compared Hathras to Pakistan as yet.” – he said.
He put forward the question to the people who came forward in support of Ranaut for the illegal demolition of her office and called it ‘injustice against women’. He asked why these people are not creating the same havoc for the Hathras victim when her body was illegally cremated by the police department officials to remove all the possible evidence.
The Hathras rape case was reported when the victim was found in a bothersome condition in Bhoolgarhi village in Hathras district on September 14. The victim’s condition was critical, and she succumbed to her injuries on September 29. However, her body was cremated illegally at 3 am by the Uttar Pradesh police on September 30th for which they were heavily scrutinized by the people.
