-Rajesh Tyagi/ 9 March 2009
On 6 March 2009, a Fast Track Court in Ahmedabad convicted all the six accused in Patan Gang rape case and sentenced them to life imprisonment. The accused are not only active members of right wing ‘Sangh Parivar’, but are directly associated or related to those in Narendra Modi’s cabinet.
After gang rapes of several muslim women, including mass rape of Bilkis Bano as part of 2002 Godhra genocide, the saffron brigades of Narendra Modi turned to poor hindu girls committing gang rapes of at least 98 such girls in Patan, Gujarat. Most shameful was the fact that this time the offenders were all teachers and the victims were none but their own students. In a case, where the victim dared to withstand all humiliation, threats and harassment, the fast track Court ultimately found the accused guilty and sentenced them to life. The people however demanded that the accused be handed over to them.
