Bilkis Bano Case: Rahul Gandhi, KTR Call Out PM Modi Over Release of Convicts

"Prime Minister, the whole country is watching the difference between your words and deeds," Rahul Gandhi said.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Telangana Minister KT Rama Rao aka KTR on Wednesday, 17 August, came down heavily on Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the release of convicts in the 2002 Bilkis Bano gang rape.

"Those who raped a 5-month pregnant woman and killed her 3-year-old girl were released during the 'Azadi Ke Amrit Mahotsav'," Rahul Gandhi said and criticised the prime minister for his assertions about 'Nari Shakti' or women power in the 76th Independence Day speech.
