Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday said his government is committed to women's safety and those who even think of harming their self-respect will face total destruction.

"Total destruction of those who even think of harming the self respect of women in UP is inevitable," Adityanath said in a tweet in Hindi.

Such people will get exemplary punishment that would be remembered by future generations, he said.

"They will get such a punishment that it will set an example. The UP government is committed to the safety and development of mothers and daughters," he said, adding that "this is our resolve and promise."

The Uttar Pradesh chief minister's statement comes days after a Dalit woman was gangraped in Hathras by four men. She died at Delhi's Safdarjung hospital on Tuesday morning.

The TMC on Friday alleged that their MP's were manhandled while on their way to Hathras to meet the victim's family. Condemning the incident, TMC secretary-general Partha Chatterjee claimed that the Yogi Adityanath government has let loose a reign of terror and "crossed all limits of decency".

"Is it a democracy? MPs are being heckled and pushed to the ground. How come police officers have this audacity to heckle members of Parliament? The state government, which has failed to protect to a Dalit girl and is busy hushing up the matter, is now using brute force against opposition," he said.

Yogi Adityanath's declarations come amid concerted pressure on his government over a spate of horrific crimes against women; in the days following the Hathras tragedy - which occurred September 14 - at least two other assaults and alleged rapes - one on a eleven year old girl - were reported from the state.

Bhim Army chief Chandrashekhar Azad, who today demanded answers from Narendra Modi and earlier told ndtv.com "don't expect justice in Uttar Pradesh", has been among those most vocal of those critics. On Thursday he demanded President's rule in the state, alleging "failure of constitutional machinery".

The family of the young woman from Hathras has alleged multiple lapses from UP Police throughout the case, including not adding a rape charge against the four accused - all from the so-called upper castes - until a formal statement was made.

The police also triggered outrage after rushing to cremate the women's body at 2.30 am, after allegedly locking up her family in their homes and preventing them from saying a final goodbye.

Apart from opposition leaders like Rahul Gandhi, who slammed the UP government for "showing Dalits their place", Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and BSP chief Mayawati, prominent personalities and celebrities have also hit out at Yogi Adityanath government.

"Law and order in UP has deteriorated to a great extent. There is no semblance of safety for women. The criminals are committing crimes in the open," Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said on Tuesday, tweeting: "@myogiadityanath you are accountable for the safety of women in UP".

The Allahabad High Court has also taken notice of the case and has summoned top officials of government and police to appear before it on October 12.

In its notice, the court said the matter was of "immense public importance... involves allegation of high-handedness by state authorities, resulting in violation of basic human and fundamental rights".

Amid all the outrage, Yogi Adityanath also said that a three-member panel has been set up to investigate the crime and a report is expected within a week.
