Rahul Gandhi Alleges Case-Based Discrimination

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday reacted to the death of Haryana IPS officer Y Puran Kumar, alleging case-based discrimination behind his death and calling the officer’s ‘suicide’ a symbol of the ‘deepening social poison.’

“The suicide of Haryana IPS officer Y Puran Kumar is a symbol of the deepening social poison that is crushing humanity in the name of caste,” Gandhi wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

He asserted that the IPS officer had to face “humiliation and oppression” due to his caste. “When an IPS officer has to endure humiliation and oppression because of his caste — imagine the circumstances in which an ordinary Dalit citizen must be living,” he added.
