“Cannot believe how Indira Jaising even dared to suggest this. I met her many times over the years in Supreme Court, not even once has she asked for my well being and today she is speaking for the convicts. Such people earn their livelihoods by supporting rapists, hence rape incidents do not stop,” she added.

Asha Devi further accused Jaising of using “the garb of human rights” to make a living.
‘People like her keep earning money under the garb of human rights. I do not need her suggestions… Just because of people who think like her incidents like rape keep happening, she is a disgrace to women,” she said.
Earlier yesterday, Indira Jaising, through a tweet, had urged Asha Devi to forgive the perpetrators and had used the example of Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi, who had forgiven Nalini, one of the convicts who was given the death penalty by the courts.EXPLORE BRIEFS
