Talking to PTI here, the Minority Affairs Minister said, “Court verdicts have never been criticised before, but a new trend has been initiated by the Congress which is not acceptable. A special court yesterday acquitted right-wing activist Swami Aseemanand and four others in the 2007 Hyderabad Mecca Masjid blast, which left nine people killed.
During the Congress rule, terrorists and anti-national elements were tried and sentenced or acquitted but the court verdicts were never criticised. Now, when people belonging to the majority community have been acquitted, the Congress, to gain political mileage, dared to criticise the judiciary,” he said, adding that Muslim appeasement had been the most favoured agenda of the Congress.
He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had taken the initiative to free the country’s politics from the quagmire of opportunism, nepotism and loot. He also took a swipe at Congress president Rahul Gandhi and said that decades of Congress rule had revealed that “it was solely dominated by a family”.
