What message are you giving to women? Rahul Gandhi asked this question on the release of the convicts in the Bilkis Bano gang rape case
Former Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the release of 11 rape and murder convicts in Gujarat’s Bilkis Bano case and alleged that there is a difference between the words and deeds of the Prime Minister. The whole country is watching.
The Congress leader targeted the Prime Minister on this matter when, on the occasion of Independence Day last Monday, in his address to the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort, he said that respect for women is an important pillar for India’s progress. Is. He had stressed on the need to support ‘Nari Shakti’.
Rahul Gandhi tweeted, “Those who raped a 5-month pregnant woman and killed her 3-year-old girl have been released during the ‘Azadi Ke Amrit Mahotsav’.” Taking a jibe at the Prime Minister, he said, “What message are those who tell false talk of women power giving to the women of the country? Prime Minister, the whole country is seeing the difference between your words and deeds.”
11 convicts released from Godhra sub-jail
11 convicts, who were serving life term in the Bilkis Bano case, were released from the Godhra sub-jail on Monday. The Gujarat government had approved the release of these people under its amnesty policy. A special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court in Mumbai on January 21, 2008 sentenced 11 convicts to life imprisonment for the gang-rape of Bilkis Bano and murder of seven members of his family. His conviction was later upheld by the Bombay High Court.
