A family member of 2002 Gujarat riots gangrape survivor Bilkis Bano has hailed the Supreme Court verdict quashing the Gujarat government's 2022 order that granted remission to her 11 rapists. Her uncle, Abdul Razaq Mansuri, expressed satisfaction, saying the family received "justice today," PTI reported. The SC judgment on Monday also triggered a political war of words, with opposition leaders slamming the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Gujarat government over their alleged "anti-women policies."
