The Supreme Court has put a stop to the release of expelled BJP leader Kuldeep Singh Sengar, who was granted bail in the 2017 Unnao rape case by the Delhi High Court. Former IPS officer Kiran Bedi hailed the Supreme Court’s decision as a significant victory for the victim, emphasizing that it signifies justice for the survivor, not a setback for the convict. Bedi criticized how individuals accused of serious crimes manage to attain positions of power, questioning the process of electing such representatives.
Bedi highlighted the importance of the Supreme Court’s intervention, stating that it sends a strong message to society about the collective demand for justice. She commended the survivor’s resilience in the face of extreme power and helplessness, describing the case as a battle between exploitation and courage. Bedi also expressed gratitude towards the volunteers who supported the victim throughout her ordeal, acknowledging their role in the long struggle for justice.
Expressing dismay over the earlier suspension of the sentence, Bedi emphasized the importance of fighting for justice collectively. She praised the Supreme Court’s prompt intervention during the vacation period, underscoring the significance of raising a collective voice for what is right. Bedi also commented on the Supreme Court’s decision regarding the Aravalli Hills issue, appreciating the court’s action in preserving the ancient range from potential destruction.
