Omar questions PM's claim about hanging rapist within a month

Questioning Prime Minister Narendera Modi's claim that rape culprits are now being hanged within 3, 7, 11 days or a month, former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said he will eat his hat if even one case fits PM's imaginary timeline.

The vice president of the National Conference (NC) Omar said perhaps the Prime Minister should find out where the rapists guilty of the heinous December 2012 rape and murder are at the moment.

He hoped that someone from the Prime Minister's Office can furnish the nation with details of the rape cases that were tried in courts and completed within three, seven, eleven or 30 days.

"I'm not even getting in to the blatant lie about rapists being executed for their crimes. Perhaps the PM should find out where the rapists guilty of the heinous Dec 2012 rape & murder are at the moment", Omar Abdullah said in a tweet.

He further tweeted, "I hope someone from the @PMOIndia can furnish the nation with details of the rape cases that were tried in our courts & completed within 3/7/11 & 30 days. I'll eat my hat if even one case fits PM sahib's imaginary timeline".

He was reacting to PM's statement in Surat which reads "Here used to be rapes in this country earlier too, it is a shame that we still hear about such cases. Now, culprits are hanged within 3 days, 7 days, 11 days & a month. Steps are being taken continuously to get daughters justice & results are evident".
