Rahul Gandhi arrives in Jharkhand | Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi arrived in Jharkhand on a two-day visit today. During his tour, he will visit Dumka, Dhanbad, Hazaribagh and Ranchi. He is scheduled to interact with Youth Congress workers, the NSUI and party leaders. On Thursday, he will visit
the Maoist strongholds of Chatra and Daltonganj. He will also visit Jamshedpur.
The visit comes against the backdrop of the killing of a Jharkhand Special Branch
police inspector Francis Induwar in the state recently. On September 30, Maoists
had kidnapped Induwar from Khunti district. It is believed that they wanted release
of their two leaders Kobad Ghandy and Chatrodhar Mahato, arrested by law enforcement
authorities in New Delhi and West Bengal respectively earlier in September. Induwar's
body was found on the Jamshedpur-Ranchi Highway on October 6. It was then reported
that a note had been found that warned the government that they could expect more
of the same treatment if their demands were not acceded to. |
