Koraput gang rape: Congress launches 'padayatra' from survivor's village

Koraput/Bhubaneswar: Demanding justice for the survivor of the Koraput gang rape and exemplary punishment to the accused, the Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee (OPCC) today took out a ‘padayatra’ from the survivor's village, Kunduli.

"This is our fight to get justice for the dalit girl. Police are yet to nab the culprits; their probe is limited to detaining the survivor's family members only. We will continue our fight till the dalit minor girl gets justice," said OPCC president, Prasad Harichandan.

Commenting on the Congress ‘padayatra,’ BJD spokesperson Rabi Narayan Nanda said, "No party should politicise such sensitive issue, instead they should cooperate in providing justice to the survivor."
