KTR, Owaisi slam Modi over release of 11 rapists

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: The decision of the Gujarat government to give remission from life-term prison sentences for 11 men found guilty of a gang rape of a woman, and murder, in Dahod district of Gujarat became the focus of a pointed attack by IT minister K.T. Rama Rao, who tweeted on the subject, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Independence I-Day speech included the issue of respect for women. In a tweet targeting Modi on the Bilkis Bano case, Rama Rao said “Bhashan: Respect women; Kaam: Release 11 rapists using Gujarat government’s power of remission the same day. Home state of PM leading by example.” The remission to the 11 men also came under fire from Owaisi, the Hyderabad MP, who slammed Modi and questioned how the Gujarat government could release the rapists who not only raped the woman who was five months pregnant at that time but also killed her daughter, raped four other women in the house and murdered them. On the same day, the Gujarat government released the 11 rapists who also murdered seven members of her family, he said.
