Amin Bhat hails special court verdict in Rassana case

SRINAGAR, JUNE 10 (PTK): Congress leader and former MLA Mohammad Amin Bhat welcoming the Kathua rape-murder case verdict, on Monday advocated death penalty for rapes and said that it is time for all sections of the society to ponder why children as old as 8 years aren’t safe in our society.

Amin Bhat said hailed the Pathankote Court decision of convicting six persons in horrendous rape and murder of an eight year old nomadic girl in Rasana and sought exemplary punishment to culprits.

He said Crime is a crime irrespective of criminal’s caste, colour and creed. Unfortunately, some fringe elements had tried to communalise this incident but due to intervention of judiciary, people of the state and the country they could not succeed.
