New Delhi [India]: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday said that Kanpur encounter that resulted in the killing of eight police personnel is another proof of 'gundaraj' in the state and added that how will public remain safe when the police themselves are not safe.
"This is another proof of gundaraj in UP. When the police are not safe, how will the public be? My heartfelt condolences are with the families of the slain martyrs and I wish the injured a speedy recovery," he tweeted (translated from Hindi). He also posted a report from a news website on the Kanpur encounter.
यू.पी. में गुंडाराज का एक और प्रमाण। जब पुलिस सुरक्षित नहीं, तो जनता कैसे होगी?
