Priyanka slams BJP over rising crimes against women, cites Lakhimpur incident

Uttar Pradesh, Sept 15th,2022: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi on Wednesday heavily criticized BJP after the bodies of two young girls were found hanging from a tree in Lakhimpur Kheri, Uttar Pradesh.

“The killings of two sisters in Lakhimpur (UP) is heart-wrenching. The relatives say that the girls were abducted in broad daylight,” Priyanka Gandhi said in a tweet.

“Giving false advertisements in newspapers and television every day does not improve law and order. After all, why are heinous crimes against women increasing in Uttar Pradesh?”, Gandhi asked.

The Congress general secretary further asked when will the government wake up and do something to protect the girls of our nation.

Two Dalit teenage sisters in Lakhimpur Kheri were found hanging from a tree on Wednesday. Their bodies have been sent for examination and three men from the same village are accused of their abduction and murder.
