Kharge and Rahul Gandhi condemn lynching of Dalit Youth in Raebareli

Lucknow, Oct 07 (UNI) In a strong and emotional joint statement, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi condemned the brutal lynching of a Dalit youth, Hariom Valmiki, in Uttar Pradesh’s Raebareli, calling it a “heinous crime against the Constitution and humanity.”
The 22-year-old was reportedly beaten to death by a mob after being falsely accused of theft. A video circulating on social media shows the victim allegedly taking Rahul Gandhi’s name multiple times before his death. The shocking visuals have sparked national outrage, and the incident has quickly snowballed into a major political issue.
Reacting to the incident, the Congress party released a joint statement by Rahul Gandhi and Kharge, saying,“The Congress party strongly condemns the inhuman and brutal killing of Hariom Valmiki in Raebareli. What happened is not just a crime against an individual but a grave violation of the Indian Constitution. It is a crime against the Dalit community and a stain on our society.”
