SEE PICS! Hathras gang rape: Priyanka Gandhi Vadra attends prayer meet for the victim of Hathras incident

In the wake of Hathras incident,  Congress party General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra attended a prayer meeting organised by its Delhi unit at city's Valmiki Temple today.

The Congress has asked its party leaders to organise prayer meetings in Valmiki Temples across the country as the victim who was killed in Hathras belonged to the Valmiki Community.

The Congress has continuously hit out at the Uttar Pradesh government on the issue of handling of the case and demanding justice for the victim.

On Thursday, both leaders tried to visit Hathras to meet the victim's family. However, they were stopped midway and a case was registered against them.

In Delhi, the State unit has organised this meet at the Mandir Marg Valmiki Basti. One of the oldest settlement of the community in the national capital.

The 19-year-old had succumbed to injuries in the Safdarjung Hospital where she was brought on Monday from Aligarh Muslim University Medical College.
