As the Supreme Court on Thursday hears the pleas against the release of the 11 convicts of the Bilkis Bano gangrape case, Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra demanded justice for Bilkis Bano. “Those who give hollow slogans like Beti Bachao are saving the rapists. Today the question is about the respect and entitlement of the women of the country,” Rahul Gandhi tweeted.
Questioning the silence of the BJP leaders on the release of the 11 convicts and their welcome thereafter at the VHP party office, Priyanka Gandhi said, “The women of the country still have hopes from the Constitution. The constitution also gives courage to the woman standing in the last row to fight for justice. Give justice to Bilkis Bano,” Priyanka Gandhi tweeted.
