Even if God asks me I won
 
 
NEW DELHI :
 
 
REACTING to a tweet by ace lawyer Indira Jaising urging her to forgive the four men on death row for brutally raping that finally took her life, Nirbhaya’s Mother Asha Devi said on Saturday: “Even if God asks me, I won’t forgive them.” Speaking to IANS, over the phone, the mother who had been fighting for seven long years to send her daughter’s killers to the gallows, said, “...even if God comes and asks me to forgive them, I will not. People like these (Jaising) are a blot on the society.”
 
Commenting on Jaising’s tweet, she said: “Who is she to tell or suggest to me to forgive them. What relation does she have with me. I have nothing to do with such people. She can be a relative of those (the convicts) that she is having a soft corner for.” “She is an insult to women. She is running a business in the name of human rights. She is a veteran, she should give a message to the society.
 
But she instead will go against her own kind,” she added. Earlier in the day, Jaising had requested Asha Devi to follow the example of Interim President Sonia Gandhi, who had moved for the clemency of a woman, Nalini Murugan convicted for the assassination of her husband and former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.
 
Delhi Bar Council takes action against Nirbhaya convict’s lawyer
 
NEW DELHI :
 
THE Bar Council of Delhi on Saturday issued notice to advocate A P Singh, appearing for convict Pawan Kumar Gupta in the Nirbhaya gangrape and murder case, after Delhi High Court had last month directed it to take action against the lawyer for filing “forged” documents and not appearing for hearing. The Bar body issued notice to Singh for February 28 and sought his reply within two weeks. The Delhi High Court had on December 19 last year dismissed the claim of death row convict Pawan that he was a juvenile at the time of the offence in December 2012 and had deprecated the conduct of Singh for filing forged documents and not appearing in the court.
