Uttarakhand Congress president Ganesh Godiyal will hold a one-hour silent fast at Gandhi Park in Dehradun over unresolved questions in the Ankita Bhandari murder case. The party is again demanding clarity about the alleged VIP mentioned in connection with the case and the status of the CBI investigation.
The protest will take place before the statue of Mahatma Gandhi at Gandhi Park. Congress says the demonstration will keep the alleged VIP’s role and its demand for a CBI inquiry in public focus.
Congress questions constitutional appointment
Rajendra Singh Bhandari, the Congress state general secretary organisation, criticised the BJP government over the appointment of the person linked to the alleged VIP issue. He said the appointment was made before the CBI investigation report had been made public.
According to Bhandari, the person concerned was appointed to a major constitutional position comparable to that of a governor. He said the decision had raised questions because the investigation into the Ankita Bhandari case had not yet been publicly clarified.
Bhandari alleged that the decision reflected a loss of moral accountability and sent a wrong message beyond Uttarakhand. He said a government that speaks about women’s safety and respect for daughters should show seriousness in a sensitive case.
Congress has condemned the appointment and asked the government to clarify the investigation’s position. The party also wants the questions surrounding the alleged VIP to be answered.
Party says campaign will continue
The protest is intended to renew Congress’s demand for justice for Ankita Bhandari and clearer answers about the case. The party has said it will continue raising the issue until the questions connected with the alleged VIP and the investigation receive a clear response.
The available information does not identify the alleged VIP. It also does not provide the CBI’s findings or confirm that its investigation report has been released.
Conclusion
Congress will use Ganesh Godiyal’s one-hour silent fast in Dehradun to press for clarity about the alleged VIP questions and the status of the CBI investigation in the Ankita Bhandari case.
