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.
