The ruling BRS in Telangana on Monday strongly denounced the BJP after a convict in the 2002 Bilkis Bano case shared the stage with the saffron party lawmakers during a government event in Gujarat.
In a tweet, BRS MLC Kavitha said, "Bilkis Bano Rapist openly shares stage with BJP바카라™s MPs and MLAs. What have we become as a community that perpetrators of heinous crimes against women are being celebrated and given a platform while the victims plead for justice. India is watching!."Â
Municipal Administration Minister K T Rama Rao, brother of Kavitha, also found fault with the BJP on the matter. "Welcome to #AmritKaal. Balatkaar Justification Party and it바카라™s Brazen embrace of these rapists is a true reflection of their mindset," Rama Rao tweeted.Â
One of the convicts in the 2002 Bilkis Bano gangrape and murder of her family members case, freed last year under Gujarat바카라™s remission policy, has shared the stage with BJP MP Jaswant Bhabhor and his MLA brother Shailesh Bhabhor at a government event held at Limkheda in Dahod district of the western state.
