NEW DELHI: BJP on Saturday said Congress president Rahul Gandhi should refrain from politicising sensitive issues like the ‘ Muzaffarpur rapes’ for which the state government has assured strongest possible action against the accused.

“The high court is monitoring the entire case and CBI inquiry is on. However, opposition parties are taking up the issue for political reasons, which is highly condemnable,” said BJP spokesperson Anil Baluni.

Baluni said Gandhi “should show some maturity” on such incidents, which are shameful. “The matter has already been handed over to CBI. After that what prompted the opposition to stage dharna is beyond understanding,” Baluni added.
