AHMEDABAD, NOV 22
Tamil Lady Super Star, woman activist and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national executive committee member Khushbu Sundar slammed the jailed Delhi minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Satyendar Jain after videos of him getting a full body massage surfaced on social media on Saturday.
She is campaigning for the ruling BJP in Tamil dominated areas of Saurashtra region.
“The AAP leader (Satyendar Jain) is getting a ‘seven-star’ treatment despite being held for a crime. Someone is getting entry into the Tihar Jail and is giving him a full body massage. Just think how many facilities he’s been provided with,” said Sundar.

- Release of Bilkis Bano’s rapists ‘an insult to humankind’: BJP leader Khushbu
The BJP leader from Tamil Nadu said, “They (AAP) are in power, and its leaders think that they can do anything. The minister is a culprit but does not feel the guilt for fooling the people who voted for him. Instead, he is enjoying his lavish life despite being held guilty of a crime.”
Commenting on the upcoming assembly polls in Gujarat, the BJP leader Sundar said that it will be a difficult task for the AAP to contest the elections. “Everyone will come to Gujarat, but it is not that easy to win seats here,” she asserted.
Release of Bilkis Bano’s rapists ‘an insult to humankind’: Khushbu
Incidentally, at least two leaders from the BJP have condemned the release and felicitation of the convicts in the 2002 Bilkis Bano case of Gujarat, who were released after the BJP government in Gujarat allowed their premature release under its remission policy. BJP leader in Tamil Nadu Khushbu Sundar on Wednesday, August 24, took to Twitter to say that the release of the convicts “is an insult to humankind.”
“A woman who is raped, assaulted, brutalised and her soul scarred for life must get justice. No man who has been involved in it should go free. If he does so, it’s an insult to humankind and womanhood. #BilkisBano or any woman, needs support, beyond politics n ideologies. Period (sic),” Khusbhu tweeted.
On August 15, all the 11 convicts sentenced to life imprisonment in the case of Bilkis Bano’s gang rape and murder of her seven family members during the 2002 communal riots walked out of the Godhra sub-jail. They were welcomed with garlands following their release from jail. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), whose MLAs were on the Gujarat government- appointed remission committee, faced flak over the release of the convicts and welcome accorded to them.
A CCTV video of Delhi minister Satyendar Jain getting a full body massage in Tihar Jail emerged on social media on Saturday morning – two days after demands to shift the minister from the prison were raised by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The minister, Jain, was arrested and has been in jail since June in connection with a money laundering case, and a Delhi court also denied his bail application on Thursday.
The purported CCTV footage dated September 13 shows the minister lying on his bed and reading some papers while a man sitting next to him is seen massaging his foot.
In another video, shared by BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla on his official Twitter handle, a man is massaging the Delhi minister’s legs and back before proceeding to give him a full head massage.
The videos surfaced on social media on Saturday, around 10 days after the ED accused Delhi minister Jain, who was arrested in a money laundering case, of getting special treatment inside the Tihar jail.
