The mother of the Congress worker, who was found dead with her body stuffed in a suitcase in Haryana, has alleged that the killer could be from the party as some people were “jealous” of her due to her connection with Rahul Gandhi.
The body of Himani Narwal, who walked alongside Rahul Gandhi in the Bharat Jodo Yatra, was found in a suitcase near a bus stand in Rohtak on Saturday, sparking demands from top Congress leaders for a high-level probe into the incident.
Himani’s mother, Savita Narwal, has made shocking claims, stating that “election” and “party” took her life.
“The election and the party took my daughter’s life. Because of this, she made some enemies. These (the culprits) could be from the party, could be her friends as well…On February 28, she was at home,” she told news agency ANI.
The mother claimed that Himani was close to the Hooda family, which is why the people had “problems” with her.
“She was going with Rahul Gandhi, she was close to the Hooda family, this is why people were having problems, they were jealous,” she said.
Savita said that her daughter shared a close relationship with Asha Hooda, the wife of former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda. She said that she would not perform the last rites of her daughter “until she gets justice”.
The mother said that Himani sacrificed a lot for the Congress and the party members also used to visit their home. “Some people in the party might be involved in the murder, as they may have felt threatened by Himani’s rising political career,” she told India Today.
Savita revealed that her daughter was scheduled to attend Bhupinder Hooda’s rally on February 28, however, when she attempted to reach out to her, the phone was switched off.
“Himani has been associated with the Congress for the last 10 years. She travelled with Congress MP Rahul Gandhi to Srinagar during the Bharat Jodo Yatra. She wanted to do clean politics, but some people wanted to trap her in a web of problems,” she said.
She claimed that Himani also spoke about issues within the Congress and had arguments with senior Congress leaders.
She said that her daughter would not compromise on anything even if someone told her to. “My daughter would say, ‘I will not compromise. What is wrong is wrong, and what is right is right’.”
