In Ahmedabad's Naroda & Naroda Patiya — where a mob allegedly killed over 97 people during 2002 riots — Muslim families are angry about the convicts' release, but don’t want to rock the boat.
Release of 11 people convicted in the 2002 Bilkis Bano case has triggered nationwide outrage, with political parties — with the exception of BJP & AAP — criticising the move.
Most of the 11 convicts released, returned to Gujarat's Singvad, which now wears a nonchalant, but uneasy calm. The village was also home to Bano’s family till 2002. Her uncle still lives there.
Citizens, including human rights activists, said early release of the convicts strengthens the impunity of all men who commit rape & acts of violence against women.
11 convicts sentenced to life for committing gang rape and murder during the 2002 Gujarat riots were released this week after state government approved their remission application.
This year, govt announced that 2nd and not 3rd revised estimates would be final. Here’s inside story on how this was achieved without compromising on quality of data.
Discussion about outcome of Lok Sabha polls continues to boil in cauldron of expectations only from BJP. Now reverse this equation, what if we asked about the performance of the 'loser'?
