‘There should be no politics, but the administration is at fault…’, said Rahul Gandhi after meeting the families of Hathras stampede victims
Congress MP Rahul Gandhi reached Hathras on Friday morning. Here he met the stampede victims. Earlier, he had also met the victims in Aligarh.
He met the victims in Green Park, Hathras. All the victims had gathered in this park. He met Munni Devi and Asha Devi, who lost their lives in the stampede, along with injured Maya Devi. All of them are residents of Navipur Khurd, Hathras.
Rahul Gandhi also met the family members of Omvati, who died in this accident. Let us tell you that among those who lost their lives in this accident, twenty people from Hathras district and ten from the city are included.
What did Rahul Gandhi say?
After meeting the Hathras victims, Rahul Gandhi said that many families have suffered, many people have died. I do not want to say this from a political prism. But there is a lack of administration, mistakes have been made. This should be found out.
He said that but the most important thing is that the compensation should be given properly because these are poor families and it is a difficult time for them. So the compensation should be given as much as possible.
He said that I want to tell the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh that the victims should be given compensation wholeheartedly. These are poor people, they need money. If the money is given after a year, it will be of no use. The family members have told that the arrangements by the police were not right there. Which is a matter of concern.
Rahul Gandhi reached Pilkhana village in Aligarh on Friday morning, where he met Premvati’s family and Shanti Devi’s son. The family members of two victims who were injured in the Hathras stampede were also present at the house in Pilkhana village where Rahul Gandhi had reached.
What did Rahul Gandhi say to the victim families?
Rahul Gandhi has assured the victims after reaching Aligarh that he will raise this matter in Parliament and try to get them justice.
A member of a victim family in Aligarh told that Rahul Gandhi had assured us of help. He said that we will be fully helped through the party. He asked us about the entire incident, how the incident happened.
What did the stampede victims say in Aligarh?
Rahul Gandhi reached Pilkhana village in Aligarh and met Sonia, the daughter-in-law of Premvati who died in the stampede in Hathras. After this meeting, Sonia told Aaj Tak that my mother-in-law was full of superstition. Now the veil of superstition has been removed. If he was God, wouldn’t he save his devotees? We have picked up Baba’s photo and thrown it away after the death of our mother-in-law.
