Bilkis Bano case: KTR asks Home Minister Amit Shah to speak on release of convicts

Ahead of union Home Minister Amit Shah’s visit to Telangana, TRS working president KT Rama Rao on Sunday demanded the former to explain why his government decided to release the rapists of Bilkis Bano. The Gujarat government released 11 convicts of the Bilkis Bano gang-rape case under its remission policy on August 15.

In a series of tweets, Rama Rao stated that the people of Telangana were keen to hear from Amit Shah as to why the Gujarat government decided to release the “Sanskari Rapists” in the Bilkis Bano case.

“Balathkar Justification is



against what Hon’ble PM preached from the ramparts of Red Fort. Is Gujarat Govt not taking PM sir seriously? (sic)” he said, with reference to Prime Minister Narendra Modi stressing the need to extend support to ‘Nari Shakti’ and stop disrespecting women.

“The father of an “Ace cricketer” who rose through the ranks & became BCCI Secretary (purely on merit) is visiting Telangana today. He will campaign for a gentleman whose brother is an MP & whose wife was an MLC contestant. And he will lecture & enlighten us on Parivarvad, (sic)” Rama Rao tweeted.
