Bilkis Bano: Undoing of Justice| BJP| Gujarat Govt| Godhra| Nirbhaya| Narendra Modi

"“I am still numb. Give me back my right to live without fear and in peace.” Bilkis Bano now in her 40s had no words left to say other than this when she heard that her rapists, her brutalisers were just let go. Not only that, they were garlanded and fed sweets as if they had won some kind of a battle. Celebrations as they came out of jail 14 years later. The release of 11 convicts of Bilkis Bano gangrape case, is nothing short of blot of collective conscience of the society that doesn’t get tired of clapping when the head of the country speaks about Nari Shakti from the rampants of Red Fort. Ironically, from many media channels who showed full83 minutes speech of PM Modi and then conducted a day-long analysis on it, questions on release of Bilkis Bano’s rapists are missing and wherever they are, they aren’t as vociferous as they should be. Arti Ghargi talks about Bilkis Bano’s case and how it will define, what this society chooses to become from this point onwards. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
