Rahul Alleges Delhi Police ‘Silencing’ Women Who Ask Questions

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday alleged that a pattern of silencing women who dare to ask questions was being observed in Delhi and demanded justice for all those who have faced violence and misbehaviour at the hands of the Delhi Police.

Gandhi made the remarks in a post accompanying a video of his recent interaction with two journalists, Shaheen Khan and Nafisa Khan, who were allegedly assaulted at the Saket police station after they went to cover the inauguration of a new wing at Max Hospital in Saket by



Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta.

"What's happening in Delhi right now follows a single pattern: silence any woman who dares to ask questions," Gandhi said in his post in Hindi on X. "Hundreds of people were detained at Jantar Mantar. Female protesters alleged that male police officers misbehaved with them. Cameras were snatched from female journalists, and they were dragged around. Not even an FIR was filed on a journalist's complaint," the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said.
