'Pralhad Joshi was seen garlanding Bilkis Bano's rapists': Abhijeet Dipke on education mininster's appointment
Abhijeet Dipke warned the Centre of another sit-in if the demands of the CJP are not met.
Abhijeet Dipke, founder of Cockroach Janta Party, expressed his disapproval of the appointment of Pralhad Joshi as the new education minister. Dipke stated that Joshi was seen "garlanding the rapists of Bilkis Bano," which he believed would negatively impact the feelings of school girls. When questioned about who should replace Dharmendra Pradhan, Dipke pointedly stated that Joshi was the one seen engaging in such an act.
In 2022, Joshi had supported the release of 11 men serving life sentences for raping Bilkis Bano during the 2002 Gujarat riots, stating that the decision was made as per the law. Dipke also warned the Centre of staging another protest if their demands for compensation for families of students who died due to the NEET-UG paper leak are not met.
