Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, a Congress leader, slammed the Centre on Monday over the Delhi Police's notice to Rahul Gandhi, saying the people of the country are witnessing all the exploits of "the corrupt BJP government" and will respond when the time comes.
The attack happened after Rahul Gandhi was confronted on Sunday by a Delhi police squad who had been to his house to ask about his "women are still being sexually harassed" comments during the Bharat Jodo Yatra.
Taking to Twitter, Priyanka Gandhi said, “Notice is being given to Mr Rahul Gandhi as to why did you raise the voice of women, dalits, tribals, poor, farmers and youth who were suffering from atrocities?”
नोटिस दिया जा रहा है श्री @RahulGandhi जी को कि अत्याचार से पीड़ित महिलाओं, दलितों, आदिवासियों, गरीबों, किसानों और युवाओं की आवाज क्यों उठाई?
देश की जनता भ्रष्ट भाजपा सरकार के सारे कारनामे देख रही है और वक्त आने पर जवाब देगी।

“PM’s friend Gautam Adani accused of having business relations with 38 shell companies abroad, no notice. Infiltration of fake company in defense sector through Adani, no notice. The government itself is accused of changing the rules to benefit Adani, not even discussed in the Parliament,” the Congress leader said.
In another tweet, Priyanka Gandhi blasted the Uttar Pradesh BJP administration for the suspected suicide of a girl student due to alleged eve teasing.
"In the media, advertisements say that ‘criminals are trembling’ in UP. But, in reality, everyday criminals commit crimes against women without fear and the women are not given a hearing in the government system,” she said.
यूपी में ये ऐसा पहला वाकया नहीं है कि जब पीड़िता की बात नहीं सुनी गई।
मीडिया में, विज्ञापनों में कहा जाता है कि यूपी में "अपराधी थर-थर कांप रहे हैं"। लेकिन, असलियत में यहां हर दिन अपराधी बेखौफ होकर महिलाओं के खिलाफ अपराध करते हैं और सरकरी तंत्र में उनकी कोई सुनवाई नहीं होती। https://t.co/uB9fAZEE4u

The Congress has denounced the Delhi Police move after officers knocked on Gandhi's home for the third time in five days on Sunday, requesting information on the woman "victims" so that the police may investigate their case.
The opposition party blasted the central government, accusing it of harassment, intimidation and political retribution, but the BJP disputed the accusation and claimed the police was "just doing its legitimate duties".
