A life sentence is life imprisonment. Trinamool Congress MP commented that it is not for celebrating like this by wearing garlands and giving laddus. Mahua Moitra.
In this regard, he said on his Twitter page, “Life sentence is for life. This is a rare case. It is a case that deserves death penalty. If life sentence is imposed in it, it is for life. There is no room for pardon. And 11 people have been acquitted without any valid reason. “We have been welcomed with sweets. The tears of BJP women are just a deception,” he said.
Gujarat 11 convicted of “rarest of rare” crimes technically qualifying for death penalty. Life should mean life. Not wholesale remission without cogent reason. Not garlands and laddoos.
Random delayed calculated tears by BJP’s nari shakti brigade don’t cut ice.

During the 2002 riots that followed the Godhra train burning incident in Gujarat, a pregnant woman named Bilgis Banu was gang-raped by a gang. 7 members of his family including his child were murdered by the mob. This incident shocked the country.
In this long-running case, 11 accused were sentenced to life imprisonment in 2008. In this case, under the 1992 sentence reduction policy, the Gujarat government granted sentence reduction to those who were in jail for more than 14 years. Subsequently, all 11 people were released on the 15th.
This move by the Gujarat government is highly controversial. Criticism arose that their petitions were not considered under the current policy. Opposition parties including the Congress strongly opposed the release of 11 people.
Meanwhile, three people, including Marxist leader Subashini Ali, filed a case in the Supreme Court against the Gujarat government’s commutation of sentences to all 11 people.
Trinamool MP while this case is coming up for hearing today. He has registered his opinion.
