LIVE: Priyanka, Rahul Gandhi's Midnight March to Protest Kathua, Unnao Rape Cases Reaches India Gate
In a tweet, Rahul Gandhi said India simply cannot continue to treat its women the way it does and asked people to join him to demand justice for the rape victims.

Congress president Rahul Gandhi marched from the Congress headquarters to India Gate in the heart of Delhi at midnight to demand justice for the Kathua and Unnao rape victims. “Like millions of Indians my heart hurts tonight. India simply cannot continue to treat its women the way it does. Join me in a silent, peaceful, candlelight vigil at India Gate at midnight tonight to protest this violence and demand justice,” he said in a tweet. The midnight march comes amid nationwide horror over the chilling details of the brutal gangrape of an 8-year-old being revealed in a chargesheet filed by Jammu and Kashmir police. In Unnao, Uttar Pradesh, the BJP MLA accused of rape has still not been arrested despite a case being registered under POCSO, which mandates immediate arrest. The case has now been transferred to the CBI.
