Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday visited the Dalit woman who was gang-raped at Thanagazi in Rajasthan’s Alwar district and promised justice and stringent action against the culprits. Rahul, who was to address public rallies in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, flew to Alwar first and went straight to the victim’s house to meet her family. This is not a political issue for me.… I have met the victim’s family and they have sought justice. Rahul promised stringent action against the culprits. Gehlot said the state government had taken several decisions to prevent crimes against women in the aftermath of the Alwar incident and offered the victim a government job.
