Rahul Gandhi on Saturday continued his protest along with the students who are on hunger strike at the University of Hyderabad, demanding justice for a Dalit research scholar who committed suicide.

Reacting to this issue, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Sambit Patra said, “Rahul Gandhi should start working in a positive way rather than playing politics on dead bodies.”

Patra further questioned Rahul Gandhi for not responding to the Malda incident and the incident in Haryana where Dalits was burnt alive.

“Did Rahul Gandhi shed tears for the four Dalits who were burnt alive? No, he has always been selective,” he said. ”

Everyone knows what the condition in Malda is, has Rahul Gandhi ever visited Malda?”.

“When Pathankot attack was happening, Rahul Gandhi was in Europe enjoying his holiday. He came back after 10 days and blamed government,” Patra said.

“At a place where students go for study, Rahul Gandhi is trying to vitiate its atmosphere. It shows how frustrated Congress is that it is doing politics over a student’s death. Such a divisive politics is poisonous and BJP condemns it,” BJP national secretary Shrikant Sharma said.
