The Shiv Sena, on Sunday, said that the crime against Bilkis Bano cannot be excused just because she is a Muslim. The party questioned the Gujarat government’s decision to release all 11 convicts in the Bilkis Bano rape and murder case.
When similar atrocities happen in neighboring countries Pakistan and Bangladesh, we cry aloud. Then where did our sensitivity go in the case of Bilkis Bano? The party wrote in the newspaper ‘Samana’.
“If Bilquis’ rapists are released for the sake of Hindu votes in the upcoming Gujarat elections, this trend will destroy us,” the Sena said in the newspaper.
“Is it Hindu culture to please rapists?” the Sena said.
“Just because Bilquis Bano is a Muslim, the crime against her cannot be condoned,” the Saamna Essay ‘Rukhthok’ said.
The weekly column was written by Shiv Sena’s Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Rawat. Rawat is currently in jail after being arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
Bilkis Bano was five months pregnant when she was gang-raped by a Hindu mob during the 2002 anti-Muslim genocide. Her three-year-old daughter was among the seven people killed by the mob.
The 11 convicts in the case walked out of Godhra sub jail on August 15 after the Gujarat government allowed their release under its amnesty policy.
If some criminal comes back from the prison after completing his punishment and his family members greet and welcome him then there is no need to link it with any culture.
See the nature of crime.How can their wives be proud? How their children will feel when someone call them son/daughter of rapists,murderers?
BJP is not realizing what it is doing or they simply do not want to realize.
The entire fabric of our country is being destroyed.
But please keep in mind there are Hindus who opposed BJPs decision and this is because that is against HUMANITY. We salute to all such brothers and sisters.
Moreover releasing is one part and honoring after release is something no one would ever forgive BJP.
How will the fabric be restored- By ‘Sar-tan-Se-Juda.’? People are wary of Muslim gimmickry. They have toiled for 14 years in prison. They have to be released. They are not terrorists and the penalty should ostensibly be death only. Yes, the incident was grave and unfortunate. It shouldn’t have happened.
It was their relatives that greeted them. If Owisi can, shamelessly, mount his legal team for the ISI terror accused, minor celebrations are perfectly ok.
Don’t forget they have not done havoc on society. It was only a criminal act and punishment was, prima facie, quite hard.
This is not Hindu culture, but this is BJP, Congress, RSS and political culture
The convicts have already been in prison for over 14 years. That is enough. They also have the right to live respectfully.
