Subramanian Swamy says he is horrified with Home Ministry’s decision to release Bilkis Bano rapists
New Delhi: Senior BJP leader and MP Subramanian Swamy recently conceded that he was horrified by the Union Home Ministry’s decision to release the rape convicts of the Bilkis Bano case.
He was replying to a tweet by Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra wherein she had claimed the CBI and its Special Judge were against the release of the 11 convicts of the Bilkis Bano case. She further added that it was the Central government that had overrode the CBI’s recommendation and approved the release of the convicts.
She substantiated her claims by sharing a document of the Ministry of Home Affairs approving the proposal for the “premature release” of the prisoners.
“The CBI said NO, the CBI special judge said NO. And yet Centre said YES to wholesale “premature release” of all 11 convicts in the Bilkis Bano case. There in black & white for all to see.” Mahua Moitra wrote in her tweet.
Replying to the tweet Swamy thanked the Trinamool MP for sharing the document and added that he was horrified by the revelation.
“Thanks. I am horrified.” Swamy wrote in his reply.

Minister Parameshwara says remarks on properties linked to drug peddlers 'misunderstood'
Tumakuru (PTI): Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Saturday said his recent remarks on the demolition of properties linked to those involved in narcotics trade were "misunderstood and misinterpreted".
His clarification follows remarks made two days ago on the government's uncompromising crackdown on the drug menace, including action against properties linked to foreign nationals allegedly involved in drug trafficking.
"It is unfortunate. It is taken in the wrong sense. I didn't mean that tomorrow itself I am going to send bulldozers and demolish the houses. That was not my intention. It was wrongly taken," he told reporters here.
Responding to Congress MLC K Abdul Jabbar's question in the legislative council on the growing drug menace in Bengaluru, Davangere and coastal districts, the minister on Thursday detailed the extensive enforcement measures initiated since the Congress government assumed office.
Pointing to the involvement of some foreign nationals, the minister had said, "Many foreign students from African countries have come to Karnataka. They are into the drug business. We catch them and register cases against them, but they want the case to be registered because once the case is registered, we cannot deport them."
"We have gone to the extent of demolishing the rented building where they stay," he had said.
