Congress leader Rahul Gandhi sharply criticised the BJP's newly appointed Education Minister during the Monsoon Session of Parliament, calling him a "defender of rapists" over his alleged past remarks regarding the release of convicts in the Bilkis Bano case. Gandhi questioned the government's decision to appoint him to a key ministry responsible for shaping the country's future, arguing that it sent the wrong message on justice and women's safety. The BJP strongly rejected the allegations, demanding evidence and accusing the Congress of making baseless political attacks to divert attention from substantive issues. (PC: X)
