Union Minister Prahlad Joshi on Tuesday justified the premature release of convicts in the Bilkis Bano case. "I don't find anything wrong in it as it is a process of law," Joshi, the Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister said.
“I don’t find anything wrong in that because it is done as per the process of law,” Joshi was quoted as saying by NDTV. The Minister asserted that “there is a provision” for release for all the convicts who have spent ample amount of time in prison.
“Accordingly, as per law, it is done,” Joshi said while campaigning in Gujarat, which is gearing up for Assembly elections in December. "After having been in prison for some time, if their behaviour...there are so many incidents, I don't want to get into that," Joshi said.
