Why is Gurmeet Ram Rahim roaming freely outside the jail?

In December 2012, the gang rape happened in Delhi, but anger came to the whole country. There was such strong opposition that the UPA government of Manmohan Singh had to change the law within a year. Despite this, when the Delhi Assembly elections were held in 2013, the Nirbhaya gang rape was a big issue, which played an important role in toppling Sheila Dikshit's government.Was it not enough to eat so much moong on the soul of the country's constitution, now that a rapist and murderer like Gurmeet Ram Rahim has been released from jail for the fourth time? Is it because there is going to be a by-election in Adampur seat of Haryana? A crime of which many women who have been victims never come forward, because there is a fear of slander. That is why the law forbids disclosing the identity of a rape victim. In such a situation, you cannot even imagine that whenever Bilkis Bano would hear his name in the news, what would have happened to him. Somehow he must have left those dates behind. Date - February 27, 2002, when a mob set fire to the coaches of the Sabarmati Express near Godhra station in Gujarat. 59 people died in a train full of kar sevaks. And communal riots broke out in Gujarat. Godhra's revenge began to be taken from the Muslims of the whole of Gujarat. At the hands of these 11 people, she was a victim of unimaginable barbarism. And then he had completed an extraordinary journey till justice was done. That's why Bilkis became a symbol. If his story highlighted the weaknesses of the Indian judicial system, then it also told that there is delay in the temple of justice, but there is no darkness. Because while stamping the decision of the lower court, first the Bombay High Court and then the Supreme Court had sentenced even doctors and policemen. But a move by the Gujarat government turned it all upside down. And that too on that day, when the former Chief Minister of Gujarat and the current Prime Minister of the country, Narendra Modi, while addressing the country from the Red Fort, was teaching the respect of women. In the beginning, there were attempts to cover this decision also in the head of the courts. Then the then CJI NV Ramana had to say that we did not give the concession, we had just ordered to consider the concession. Actually Radheshyam Shah had requested for concession in punishment. This concession is called remission. It does not change the character of the blame or the punishment. The bus duration is reduced. The matter reached the Supreme Court via the Gujarat High Court, from where the order came in May 2022, that the Gujarat government should form a committee to consider remission under the 1992 policy. Whether it means releasing the culprits or not, it was left to the Gujarat government. The Gujarat Remission Policy of 1992 mandates that the Inspector General (Prisons) seek the opinion of a Jail Advisory Committee. It is a matter of greatest misfortune, in a country where under-trial prisoners are rotted in jail for years. Sometimes the crime is not even proved and a life is spent in jail. Here Ram Rahim is being given parole every third month. A person who is guilty of raping two sadhvis, who has been proved guilty of two murders, is accused of grabbing land, there is a long list of heinous charges ranging from making sadhus impotent. Due to which there was fierce violence in Panchkula in the year 2017. 33 people were killed. He is repeatedly released on parole. There can hardly be a better example of political nexus than this.There is a person of criminal nature, on whom the number of people who trust is still large. It has an effect on votes. There are rules, laws and precedents. Which is not really equal for everyone because this thing is not limited to political patronage only. The question is also from those courts, where questions have been raised from time to time regarding taking or not taking cognizance.
