BJP MLA Urges Ankita Bhandari's Family to Reject Aid if Seeking Only Justice
BJP MLA Dilip Rawat urged Ankita Bhandari's family to reject government assistance if their sole demand is justice, emphasizing the need for the state to address their concerns seriously. While Rawat expressed support for the family's cause, Uttarakhand Congress leader Suryakant Dhasmana criticized his remarks as reflecting an 'anti-women mindset' and accused the BJP of protecting a 'VIP' suspect. The case involves the 19-year-old receptionist's death, with calls for thorough investigation ongoing.
