New Delhi : Nirbhaya's mother on Saturday lambasted senior advocate Indira Jaising for asking her to pardon the convicts of the 2012 gang rape of her daughter.
Indira Jaising on last day asked Nirbhaya's mother to forgive her daughter's convicts like Sonia Gandhi who had forgiven Nalini, the life convict in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case.
Who is Indira Jaising to give me such a suggestion? Whole country wants the convicts to be executed. Just because of people like her, justice is not done with rape victims," Asha Devi was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
Asha Devi: Can't believe how Indira Jaising even dared to suggest such this. I met her many times over the years in Supreme Court,not once she asked for my wellbeing& today she is speaking for convicts.Such ppl earn livelihood by supporting rapists,hence rape incidents don't stop https://t.co/Gjf02l9LT4 pic.twitter.com/Rl3sMbppl5

Indira Jaising took to twitter two express her disappointment after the Delhi court postponed the date of the execution of the convicts.
While I fully identify with the pain of Asha Devi I urge her to follow the example of Sonia Gandhi who forgave Nalini and said she didn’t not want the death penalty for her . We are with you but against death penalty. https://t.co/VkWNIbiaJp
