Yahoo Finance Video: Rahul pushed to the ground as cops manhandle him
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has alleged that he was pushed to the ground by Uttar Pradesh police personnel when he was marching towards Hathras to meet the family of a Dalit girl who passed away a couple of days ago after being gang-raped.
"Just now police pushed me, lathicharged me and threw me to the ground. I want to ask, can only Modi-ji walk in this country? Can't a normal person walk? Our vehicle was stopped, so we started walking," he said.
