Not ashamed of such politics?: Rahul Gandhi on Bilkis Bano case

Date:

New Delhi, Aug 18: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday accused the BJP of supporting criminals, and said it showed their ‘mentality’ toward women. Slamming the ruling party, Rahul Gandhi said BJP tried to save its rape-accused Unnao MLA, and that the Gujarat government released rapists.

“Unnao – tried to save BJP MLA, Kathua- Rally in support of rapists, Hathras Government in favor of rapists, Gujarat Rapists’ released and honored. Supporting criminals shows the petty mentality of the BJP towards women. Are you not ashamed of such politics, Prime Minister?” Rahul Gandhi said.

Congress has been cornering the BJP over the release of 11 convicts in the Bilkis Bano case. Eleven men who were sentenced to life imprisonment in the Bilkis Bano gang rape case of 2002 were released from Godhra sub-jail on Monday after a panel set up by the Gujarat government approved their application for remission of the sentence.
