Dalit woman brutally murdered in Ayodhya village

Faizabad MP Awadhesh Prasad broke down in tears while addressing a press conference Sunday, saying that he would resign from his seat if no justice was delivered to the family of a 22-year-old Dalit woman who was raped and murdered in Ayodhya.

Ayodhya belongs to the Faizabad Lok Sabha constituency.

In the video that has now gone viral, the Samajwadi Party MP is seen crying as other leaders are trying to pacify him with one heard saying, "Keep up the fight."

"Let me go to Delhi. I will bring this to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's attention on the floor of Lok Sabha. I will resign from the Lok Sabha if I fail to bring justice to the victim. I have failed. It's our collective failure. How will history remember us?," said an inconsolable Prasad, adding, "Lord Ram, Mother Sita, where are you?"
