Prime Minister Narendra Modi while addressing from the ramparts of the Red Fort on the occasion of Independence Day recently was heard advising our countrymen to respect women and appealing to bring a complete change in the mentality towards women. He was also heard asking everyone to pledge not to do anything that lowers the dignity of women and to seriously support Nari Shakti in our country. Unfortunately, 11 criminals sentenced to life imprisonment for Bilkis Bano's gang rape and murder of seven of her family members during the infamous 2002 Gujarat riots were shockingly released from the Godhra jail by the BJP government in Gujarat on this year's Independence Day. Because they happen to be all die-hard BJP supporters?
Really feel ashamed of a pseudo-nationalist party like the BJP for sending all innocent activists, writers, poets, journalists etc to rot in jail and for shamelessly releasing convicted murderers, rapists, hate-mongers etc on top priority basis in different parts of our country, rewarding them by giving them tickets & finally sending them to State Assemblies/Parliament.
