Shabana Azmi's pain spilled over the release of the convicts of Bilkis Bano

The release of the convicts in the Bilkis Bano case is being opposed in different parts of the country. However, after a few days, the matter is also to be heard in the Supreme Court. NDTV had a special conversation with actress Shabana Azmi regarding the release of the convicts of Bilkis. During this, Shabana Azmi told NDTV that it is not right from anywhere to release the culprits of such a heinous crime. And after the release, it is even more wrong to welcome the culprits by feeding them sweets. This will send a wrong message to the society.

Shabana Azmi said that I was shocked that how could this happen. I think the understanding about injustice and horrific crimes is still not developed in our country. A similar message was given by feeding sweets to those released in the Bilkis Bano case. Wearing garland to such criminals after coming out of jail is not right from anywhere. What kind of message are you trying to give to the society? This is truly horrifying. What answer will we give to our mothers and sisters, if criminals continue to be glorified like this. Today there is a government in the country that talks about promoting women power, but on the same day when those who commit such heinous crimes against women are honored or welcomed, This is truly shameful.

Shabana Azmi said she could not imagine that the culprits were being argued to be "Brahmins" and "from good families". The actress said, "They are Brahmins, they are cultured, they don't know that they have done this. You are saying this about those who have been convicted. You are not talking about innocent people. In this There is no doubt that he has committed the crime."
