Rahul Gandhi assures justice to family of Odisha B.Ed student who died after self-immolation

Bhubaneswar: Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi spoke to the father of the female B.Ed student of FM Autonomous College in Balasore, who succumbed to her burn injuries while undergoing treatment at AIIMS, Bhubaneswar, assuring him of full support.

“Spoke with the father of the brave daughter who lost her life in the fight for justice in Balasore, Odisha. In his voice, I felt his daughter’s pain, dreams, and struggle. Assured him that the Congress Party and I stand with them at every step. What happened is not only inhuman and shameful, but also a wound to the entire society. We will ensure in every way that the victim’s family receives full justice,” wrote Gandhi on X handle.

Gandhi had earlier targeted the state BJP government, alleging that the student lost her life while fighting for justice, “which is no less than murder by the BJP’s system”.

He further added that the brave student raised her voice against sexual harassment, but instead of delivering justice, she was threatened, tormented, and repeatedly humiliated.

Earlier, the leaders of the Congress in Odisha met with the family members of the student. Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee President Bhakta Charan Das, along with senior party leaders, visited Balasore on Tuesday night and met the grieving family of the late student of Fakir Mohan Autonomous College who tragically lost her life.
