Why double standards? : Mehbooba on Aseemanand acquittal

SRINAGAR: Peoples Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday questioned the grounds on which the accused in Samjhauta blast case were acquitted by a court on Wednesday.

“Despite damning evidence, the accused including a former RSS member have been acquitted. God forbid, had they been Kashmiris/Muslims, they would be pronounced guilty and imprisoned without even a fair trial. Why such double standards and leniency towards saffron terror?” the former J&K chief minister asked.

Mufti’s reaction came after a special court in Haryana acquitted Swami Aseemanand and three others in the Samjhauta train blast case that left 68 people, mostly Pakistanis, dead in 2007. (AGENCIES)
