Leader of Opposition Digambar Kamat and Goa Pradesh Congress Committee president Girish Chodankar on Thursday condemned the arrest of former Congress president Rahul Gandhi by the Uttar Pradesh Police when Rahul and Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi were on their way to Hathras to meet the family of the 19 year-old girl who was brutally raped and murdered.

GPCC president Chodankar also criticized the move and stated, “Today, in BJP Raj, sharing grief has become a crime in India. The voice of an outraged nation can't be suppressed with high-handedness.”
