Rahul gandhi meets pahalgam terror attack victim's family in kanpur

He also made the family talk to Wayanad MP and his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra over the phone. He assured the family of getting the severest punishment for the terrorists wherever they may

be. Earlier, the Congress MP arrived in Amethi for the first time after last year's parliamentary polls and began his day with an inspection of the ordnance factory in Munshiganj. Rahul

Gandhi had laid the foundation stone of the factory during the UPA rule in 2007. He also inspected the Indo-Asian Rifles Private Limited unit located on the same campus which was

inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on March 3, 2019. Both facilities have now begun manufacturing rifles. Gandhi spent nearly an hour inside the factories, examining the rifles and

interacting with officials to understand the production processes. The Congress leader then visited the Sanjay Gandhi Hospital, where he inaugurated a new heart unit meant for open heart

surgery, built at a cost of approximately Rs 3.5 crore. During his Amethi visit, Gandhi also reviewed the progress of the Indira Gandhi College of Nursing, a project he is personally

associated with. He interacted with students and faculty members and took stock of the institution's activities. Both the Sanjay Gandhi Hospital and the Indira Gandhi College of Nursing

are managed by the Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Trust, New Delhi, of which Congress leader Sonia Gandhi is the chairperson and Rahul Gandhi a trustee. Congress MP from Amethi, KL Sharma,

accompanied Rahul Gandhi during his visit to the district on Wednesday. However, ahead of Rahul Gandhi’s arrival, posters labelling him as a "supporter of terror" were seen around

Amethi town. Near the guesthouse gate of the Sanjay Gandhi Hospital, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers burnt his effigy and raised slogans demanding his departure from Amethi.
