Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday strongly condemned the killing of party worker Debdeep Chatterjee allegedly by TMC goons, and said his party will not bow before this politics that stains India’s non-violent tradition. Chatterjee was brutally murdered in Asansol during post-poll violence.

He was closely associated with Asansol North Congress candidate Prasenjit Puitandi, the party claimed. “The murder of Congress worker Debdeep Chatterjee by TMC-affiliated goons after the elections is utterly reprehensible. My deepest condolences to the grieving family,” Gandhi said.
