Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi chose an inopportune moment to catch up with his sleep, just when the opposition parties were putting Modi government on backfoot for the violence against Dalits in Gujarat.

After the video of cow vigilantes thrashing a group of Dalit youths in Una on the charge of illegally transporting cow skin went viral, protests have broken out all over Gujarat.

A policeman was killed yesterday in stone-throwing in Amreli, around 400 km from Ahmedabad.

Opposition parties led by Congress and Dalit leader Mallikarjun Kharge have demanded full probe into the incident. Sonia Gandhi, Mayawati, Mamata Banerjee, Kejriwal, among others, have condemned atrocities on Dalits and demanded prompt action from the government.

Home Minister Rajnath Singh condemned the violence in Lok Sabha on  Wednesday and said the government would find a permanent solution for it.

It was then the cameras zoomed in on Rahul Gandhi to find him taking a nap.
