On Ankita's death anniversary, Congress MLA Harak Singh Rawat criticised the state for not securing justice for the victim, calling it a failure of the people of Uttarakhand.
Uttarakhand Congress legislator Harak Singh Rawat used the occasion of Ankita's death anniversary to highlight what he described as a collective failure to obtain justice for the young woman. Rawat said that despite public outcry, the case remains unresolved and the people of the state have not succeeded in pressuring authorities to act decisively.
The statement was made during a gathering of local party members and supporters, where Rawat urged the government and law‑enforcement agencies to expedite the investigation and ensure that the perpetrators are brought to trial. He emphasized that justice delayed is justice denied, and called for renewed public vigilance.
Rawat's remarks reflect ongoing political pressure in Uttarakhand over high‑profile criminal cases, where opposition leaders often seize anniversaries and rallies to demand accountability. No new evidence or official updates on the case were disclosed in his comments.
The Congress leader concluded by appealing to the citizens of Uttarakhand to remain steadfast in their demand for a fair and swift legal process, asserting that only a transparent outcome can restore confidence in the justice system.
