Controversy section

Latest comment: 3 days ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Pralhad Joshi has been the subject of controversy over his remarks that the release of the Bilkis Bano rapists was "nothing wrong" and "as per law".

The controversy section as currently implemented only presents the view that Pralhad Joshi was openly supporting bail but this fails verification with the source currently cited. It has been removed. - Otherwise (Antibacklog Aktion!) (talk?) 13:58, 6 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
