Echoing other Opposition parties and human rights activists, KTR called the release "nauseating to put it mildly" and asked the PM to intervene
Citing the release of 11 convicts in Gujarat's Bilkis Bano case, Telangana minister KT Rama Rao ('KTR') today asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi if he "really meant" what he spoke about "respecting women" in his Independence Day speech. If he did mean it, said KTR in his tweet, "I urge you to intervene and rescind the Gujarat government remission order".

Echoing other Opposition parties and human rights activists, KTR called the release "nauseating to put it mildly" and alleged that it's against an order of the Union Home Ministry.
The "order" here implies the recent special release guidelines issued by the Centre, which said rapists should not be granted such relief. But the Gujarat government has said it wasn't technically bound by those guidelines as the Supreme Court asked it to consider the release plea in this case under its 1992 policy.
