Congress flays Manjhi and Chirag for their silence on rape victim death

Patna, June 3 (UNI) Congress on Tuesday flayed Union Ministers Chirag Paswan and Jeetan Ram Manjhi for their silence on death of a minor Dalit girl after her rape and negligence in treatment.
President of Bihar Pradesh Congress Committee(BPCC) Rajesh Ram told media persons here that Manjhi and Chirag claimed to be leaders of the Dalit community. Both the leaders were pursuing their political career on Dalit votes, and on their strength, they were Ministers in the Narendra Modi government, he added.
" It is shameful to note that neither Chirag nor Manjhi not even expressed their words of solace for the family members of victims ", Ram said adding that Congress continued its struggle to ensure treatment of the rape victim but due to negligence of the government, she died during treatment in Patna Medical College and Hospital(PMCH) in Patna on Sunday.
" Double engine government of NDA has utterly failed in providing justice to people of Bihar particularly those from oppressed and deprived sections of the society", Congress leader said adding that rape victim Dalit girl was not given proper treatment in Sri Krishna Medical College and Hospital in Muzaffarpur, nor in Patna Medical College and Hospital(PMCH) in Patna. Ruling parties' leaders had lost their emotions and sentiments for the people of the state, he lamented.
A nine year old Dalit girl was raped at Kurhni in Muzaffarpur district of Bihar on May 26 and she was attacked with sharp edged weapon by the culprit causing injuries on twenty spots of her body. She was rushed to SKMCH, Muzaffarpur, where proper treatment was not given to her. Even after she was referred to PMCH, Patna, she was not admitted and left unattended in an ambulance on its premises. After the intervention of leaders of opposition parties, she was admitted to PMCH, where she died during treatment on Sunday.
