Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi on Monday hailed the Supreme Court judgment quashing the Gujarat government's decision to grant remission to 11 convicts in the Bilkis Bano case, saying it has removed the veil over the BJP's anti-women policies.
Taking to X, the Congress leader said that justice has ultimately prevailed after the SC verdict in the case.
"Justice has ultimately prevailed. With this order, the veil over the anti-women policies of the Bharatiya Janata Party has been removed. After this, public confidence in the justice system will be further strengthened," she said in a post in Hindi on 'X'.
She further lauded Bilkis Bano and said, "Congratulations to Bilkis Bano for continuing her fight bravely."
The Congress party also took to X and attacked the BJP, saying that the verdict shows the "anti-women" act of the BJP government in Gujarat.
"This decision of the Supreme Court in the Bilkis Bano case is historic. This decision exposes the anti-women act of the BJP government of Gujarat in releasing the rapists of Bilkis Bano. This shows how disgusting the BJP's thinking is towards women," the party said in Hindi.
