Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has intensified his criticism of the Delhi Police over their alleged conduct towards female protesters and students. In a statement on social media, Rahul Gandhi claimed that the police's actions, including sexual harassment and brutality against women who raise their voices for democracy, have "crossed all bounds of shame." He stated that these actions are part of a calculated effort to silence dissent and instill fear so that questions are not raised against the government.

00:00And we have news coming in. This is related to Rahul Gandhi's social media post.
00:05He has escalated his attack against the Delhi police.
00:08In his latest social media statement, the Congress MP writes,
00:11sexual harassment, pulling at clothes and assaults on private parts.
00:16This is the brutality of the Delhi police against female students and women
00:21who dare to raise their voices for democracy has crossed all bounds of shame.
00:26He continues to write that all of this is part of a calculated effort to silence dissent,
00:32a strategy designed to instill such fear and humiliation that no one would ever dare to raise a question again.
00:40He continues to write that Modi and Shah know that the moment they lose power,
00:45their reign of unchecked arbitrary rule will come to an end.
00:48This very fear permeates the police force manifesting as violence unleashed upon the nation's youth and women.

01:08lying down.
01:08He's upping the ante and he's attacking the Delhi police.
01:12And via Delhi police and their actions, or alleged actions,
01:16he's attacking the Prime Minister and the Home Minister.
01:32In this video also, you see that when Rahul Gandhi met these women protesters,
01:37Rahul Gandhi made some serious allegations saying that police is not just, you know,
01:43manhandling and, you know, hackling these women protesters,
01:46but also not ensuring that the dignity and the modesty of these female protesters is maintained.

01:58that all is not well when it comes to the law and order solution in the country.
02:02And Delhi police has been operating and working at the behest of the DJP.
02:08Essentially, you know, dragging in the PM Modi
02:10and being Mr. Amisha into the Indar competition.
