Congress leader Rahul Gandhi lauds the Supreme Court's verdict, declaring the Gujarat government's release order for 11 Bilkis Bano rape case convicts null and void. Gandhi takes a dig at the BJP, asserting they are 'patrons of criminals.' He states, "The tendency to 'kill justice' for electoral gains is dangerous for the democratic system." Bilkis Bano's tireless struggle, he notes, is "a symbol of the victory of justice against the arrogant BJP government." Sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra echoes the sentiment, saying, "With this order, the veil over the anti-women policies of the Bharatiya Janata Party has been removed." Opposition parties, including Trinamool Congress and Shiv Sena, express satisfaction, hailing Bilkis Bano's relentless pursuit of justice.
