“If You Are a Dalit, You Can Be Suppressed and Thrown Out”: Rahul Gandhi Demands Action Against Officers, Justice for Family

Chandigarh: Congress MP and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has strongly condemned the alleged discrimination faced by a Dalit officer, urging Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Haryana Chief Minister CM Saini to take immediate action.

Addressing the media, Gandhi said, “It is a Dalit couple and one thing is clear that there was systematic discrimination for years to demoralise this officer and to damage his career and his reputation by other officers. This is not just a matter of one family. There are crores of Dalit brothers and sisters in the country, and they are getting the wrong message. The message that no matter how successful, intelligent, or capable you are, if you are a Dalit, you can be suppressed and thrown out. This is not acceptable for us.”

Rahul Gandhi also demanded that the authorities allow the officer’s funeral procession to take place without obstruction, calling the current situation a “drama” created by officials. He added, “The clear message I want to give to PM Modi and CM Saini is to take action against the officers and release the pressure on this family.”
