Bihar shelter home rape: Protest by political parties is nothing but dirty politics says CM Raghubar Das

Ranchi, August 6: Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das termed today as dirty politics the protest by political parties in Delhi over the alleged sexual abuse of young girls at a shelter-home in Bihar's Muzaffarpur, saying it lacked genuine concern for the victims.

 

Lauding his Bihar counterpart Nitish Kumar and Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi for taking "quick action in the matter" by arresting the accused and handing over the case to the CBI, he also urged them to press for day-to-day hearing in the case so that justice could be dispensed at the earliest.

On Sunday, in a show of opposition unity, almost all major political parties, including the Congress, had joined the protest at Jantar Mantar in the heart of the national capital, organized by RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav.

Asserting that the popularity of Prime Minister Narendra Modi remained undiminished, CM Das said in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, people of the country will be choosing between democracy and dynasty politics.

The protest at Jantar Mantar, which was attended by several prominent political faces including Congress president Rahul Gandhi and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, saw a huge turnout of Delhi residents, Opposition members and social activists.
