SC will hear on 29 November the petition challenging remission of sentence of 11 men who gang-raped Bano and killed 7 members of her family during 2002 Gujarat riots.
His reaction came after the Gujarat government told the SC that it obtained 'suitable orders' from the Centre for granting remission to the convicts in the 2002 gang-rape case.

Ilmi wrote it is 'important to distinguish between' Gujarat government and PMO, adding that it was the VHP which felicitated the convicts and not the BJP.
