A group of Mahila Congress members marched with rakhis, urging authorities to deliver justice in the Ankita case.
On the eve of Raksha Bandhan, a contingent of Mahila Congress workers took to the streets, each holding a rakhi as a symbol of solidarity. The demonstrators gathered to press the government and law‑enforcement agencies for swift action in the case of Ankita, whose death has sparked public outcry.
The protest, organized by local Congress units, emphasized that the festive occasion should not eclipse the demand for accountability. Participants voiced that the ongoing investigation has stalled, and they seek a transparent inquiry and legal redress for the victim's family.
Party leaders addressed the crowd, reiterating the Congress's commitment to safeguarding women's safety and urging the administration to expedite the judicial process. The rally concluded with a call for nationwide attention to the Ankita case, urging citizens to stand against gender‑based violence.
