On Wednesday, Republic TV stung Shyoraj Jivan of the Congress party who exposed in great detail his and his party’s machinations and activities to instigate mass riots in Uttar Pradesh’s Hathras. What is pertinent to note here is that Shyoraj Jivan is not just an ordinary Congress leader – he has held key party posts and is known to be close to the party’s very top brass.
Shyoraj Jivan Valmiki was the AICC (All India Congress Committee) secretary of the party and was also made the in-charge of the party in Maharashtra. Moreover, Congress has given an MLA ticket to his son and he has shared the stage with interim Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi a number of times.

Congress party’s #OperationDanga to trigger caste riots exposed
Congress party leader Shyoraj Jivan who exposed the attempt to instigate riots in Hathras is seen on tape admitting and even boasting that the party had sent people to protest and that “no one will be able to stop caste riots.” On the tape, he admitted that Rahul Gandhi will come after “bullets are fired” and he can arrange other political support like that from “Akhilesh Yadav’s party.”
“Of course they (national leaders) will come. PL Punia can come. Mukul Wasnik can come. We can call anybody from Congress. From Samajwadi Party, we can get Akhilesh Yadav. Rahul will come when bullets are fired. Two people should die from each side. A leader should die or some common man should die, ” Jivan said.
Revealing the plot for riots, Jivan said, “There will be a fierce clash, nobody can stop it. It will be a bloody fight. Nobody can stop riots, the way the situation is panning out. Because it is the Valmiki samaj marshal kaum. You can attack us in villages- because there are 2 houses, 4 houses. You can gherao us (unclear). Many will be slaughtered, many will be killed. We are in large numbers in the city.”
He also spoke about being in touch with persons in Delhi, exposing their role, and boasted about his own influence in the party. “I was arrested that day. I am a Babbar Sher of Aligarh and this nation. When we came to know on 29th, we had a huge protest with thousands of people. We vandalised. There were cases against us. Then we got a call from Delhi. The people who were protesting in Delhi are our people only. I have been a national secretary.”
The Hathras case
The 19-year-old woman was reported to have been gangraped in Hathras on September 14 following which four people were arrested. She died on September 29 at Delhi’s Safdarjung Hospital by which time the matter had drawn shock, outrage and dismay across the nation, rising manifold as the victim succumbed. Over the subsequent days, numerous political personalities demonstrated in New Delhi and made their way towards Hathras stating an intent to meet the victim’s family.
Initially, the Uttar Pradesh government hesitated, blocking persons like Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra at the Noida border following which they attempted to move to Hathras on foot, ending in a scramble with the police where Rahul Gandhi even fell albeit suspiciously, at which Congress party began a fresh set of protests. Other political leaders also attempted to go to Hathras. Some, like Trinamool’s Derek O’Brien were undoubtedly subjected to rough treatment.
Meanwhile, in a move that drew even more outrage, the Hathras police conducted a mid-night funeral for the victim, against the wishes of the family which wanted to wait till dawn. Top Hathras police officers including the SP would later be suspended by the Yogi administration for this action. They claimed to fear a law & order problem had they waited, as their explanation.
Two autopsy reports of the victim, however, have decreed injuries to the neck, among others, as being the reason for her death and not mentioned sexual assault, and after the first one, the UP ADG, citing said report, claimed that no rape had taken place. Later, in videos emerging of the victim’s mother narrating the incident from earlier, she stated that strangulation at the hands of a ‘Thakur’ family’s son was what had taken place, not mentioning rape.
The victim’s brother’s initial complaint to the police had concurred with this. The Uttar Pradesh government, being represented by SG Tushar Mehta in the Supreme Court, also cited the forensic reports to submit that there had not been any sexual assault.
