Bilkis Bano case | Rahul Gandhi says country can see difference between PM Modi's words and deeds

The Hindu  

The entire country can see the difference between the words and deeds of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi said on August 17, targeting Mr. Modi over the release of 11 convicts in the Bilkis Bano case. “Prime Minister ji, the entire country is seeing the difference between your words and deeds,” Mr. Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi. It’s an executive decision and not a judicial decision,” Mr. Khera said, adding that “the decision has proven the Prime Minister Modi’s August 15 speech on respecting women has been proven hollow”. The Congress spokesperson also claimed that since the Bilkis Bano case had been investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation, the Gujarat government had to secure the concurrence of the Centre under Section 345 of the Criminal Procedure Code before releasing the convicts.
