In a joint statement, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Rae Bareli MP Rahul Gandhi said that the brutal murder of Valmiki is a “grave offense against the Constitution of this country”. The Congress party on Tuesday condemned the lynching of a man from the Dalit community Hariom Valmiki in Uttar Pradesh’s Rae Bareli.
The two leaders also said that, “Since 2014 (when the BJP came to power), trends like mob lynching, bulldozer injustice, and mob rule have become a terrifying hallmark of our times.”
