Rahul Gandhi cited the examples of rape cases in Unnao, Hathras and Kathua, and Gujarat where those convicted of rape and murder in Bilkis Bano case were released.
The BJP's support to criminals displays the party's mindset towards women, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi alleged on Thursday and asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi if he was ashamed of "such politics".
He cited the examples of rape cases in Unnao and Hathras in Uttar Pradesh, Kathua in Jammu and Kashmir, and now Gujarat where the government this week released those convicted of rape and murder in the 2002 Bilkis Bano case.
"Unnao - worked to save BJP MLA. Kathua - rally in favour of rapists. Hathras - the government in favour of rapists. Gujarat - the release and honour of rapists. The support to criminals displays the petty mindset of the BJP towards women," Mr Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi.
"Are you not ashamed of such politics, Prime Minister ji," he asked.
