Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi is on a visit to Prayagraj. During this, Priyanka met the women of those sailor families who were allegedly lathichargeed by the police on 4 February in Baswar village of Ghurpur in Prayagraj. This action was taken on the charge of illegal mining.
During this, Priyanka targeted the central government and said that like the agricultural laws, the laws applicable to rivers are for the benefit of industrialists rather than fishermen. Priyanka reached Prayagraj tour for the second time in the last 10 days.
The women of the fishermen community told Priyanka about the February 4 incident. He said that the police forcibly entered their homes that day. Beaten women and children. Boats broke and set houses on fire. Fishermen also showed broken boats. On this, Priyanka said that if you have been beaten here then the administration and UP police should be ashamed. I have seen a video of that incident. We will raise this issue and fight you.
