Defying entry ban on him Rahul Gandhi leaves for riot-hit Saharanpur in UP
New Delhi, May 27 (IBNS) : Defying the Uttar Pradesh police ban on his entry, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Saturday left for riot-hit Saharanpur for an on-the-spot survey of the situation, reports said.
The Uttar Pradesh police on Thursday refused permission to Gandhi to visit Saharanpur, where clashes between Dalits and upper caste people broke out recently resulting in the death of one person. Eight people were injured in the incidents.
The Congress vice president reportedly has plans to visit Shabbirpur village in the district and meet the Dalit families whose houses had been burnt allegedly by upper caste people.
He may also try to visit a hospital to meet the injured villagers.
However, The Hindustan Times quoted state home secretary Mani Prasad Mishra as saying that the administration will not allow Rahul into the district.
