New Delhi: Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, on Tuesday, met families of Sambhal violence victims at his 10 Janpath residence and offered them all possible help to ensure justice, reported PTI.

AICC general secretary and Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was also at the meeting. "Today, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and Congress general secretary and MP Priyanka Gandhi met the victims of Sambhal. The incident in Sambhal is the ill-effects of BJP's hate politics, and it is fatal for a peaceful society. Together, we have to defeat this violent and hateful mentality with love and brotherhood," Congress said in a post on X.

The Uttar Pradesh government had earlier denied permission to both Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi to travel to Sambhal and visit the victims' families. On December 4, they were stopped on their way by Uttar Pradesh Police at the Ghazipur border. Rahul Gandhi had termed the action "anti-constitutional".
