Hyderabad: IT Minister and TRS Working President K. Tarakarama Rao on Friday again attacked the BJP and its government in Gujarat over the release of 11 convicts in the Bilkis Bano gang rape and the murder of seven of her family members during the 2002 Gujarat riots.
On the social media platform Twitter, KTR on Friday posted: “Political parties typically promise development, security, welfare sops to win elections. Now they are releasing Rapists & killers of pregnant women & children!! These acts of omission, commission & remission will not be forgotten. Karma is a Boomerang,” he said.
Earlier, KTR was trolled for a Tweet on the same issue. “This is a blot on the collective conscience of our nation. What happened to Bilkis Bano today can happen to anyone of us tomorrow,” KTR had tweeted. Reacting to this, BJP sympathisers and members trolled him over the release of the accused in the Jubilee Hills gang rape case on bail. KTR immediately hit back by saying, “To the silly trolls who indulge in whataboutery & question what #Telangana Govt did in the recent rape case in Hyderabad. The Rapists were arrested swiftly & sent to jail. After 45 days, the High Court granted them Bail. We will fight on till these rapists get punished as per law.”Further, KTR said that the loopholes in Juvenile Justice Act, IPC & CrPC have resulted in rapists getting out on bail in the Jubilee Hills rape case. “That’s the reason why I am demanding that these acts be amended so no Rapist gets a bail & when convicted remains in Jail till death. Life imprisonment in the truest sense,” he Tweeted. (INN)
