BJP Alleges Of AAP’s Negligence For Delay In Hanging Of Nirbhaya Convicts

Mumbai: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) lambasted on Delhi government led Aam Aadmi Party president, CM Arvind Kejriwal over the negligence of state government was the reason behind the delay of the hanging of the Nirbhaya convicts.
Union Minister and BJP’s Delhi election in-charge Prakash Javadekar while addressing a press conference here said, “The delay in hanging the culprits in the 2012 Delhi gang-rape case is now due to the negligence of the Delhi government. The AAP is responsible for the delay of injustice. In 2017, the Supreme Court refused to withdraw his appeal and sentenced him to death. Why did the Delhi government not give notice to the culprits of filing mercy petitions in the last 2.5 years? It shows that they have sympathy for rapists.”

He also alleged that the four convicts got the extra time due to the generosity of the Delhi government.
“Delhi government lawyer Rahul Mehra stood in the court and said that the hanging cannot take place on January 22. The whole country wants the four accused to be hanged, and they are delaying it. They say they still have to appeal “Who gave this extra time? Delhi government’s humility,” he said.
Mukesh Kumar Singh, one of the four convicts in 2012 gang-rape case, appealed to a Delhi court to adjourn the date of his execution on the ground that his mercy petition is pending with the President.
