 slams SC order, seeks to shift cases from Gujarat&picture=https://www.dailypioneer.com/images/logo.jpg){kind=logo}
The Janata Dal(U) on Wednesday latched on to the recent Supreme Court judgement in the Akshardham temple attack case to accused BJP leader Amit Shah and Gujarat Government as “misusing” the State machinery “against a particular community” and demand that other such cases should be transferred out of that State.
The SC on May 16 acquitted all the six convicts, including three condemned prisoners, in the 2002 Akshardham temple attack case, saying “the story of the prosecution crumbles down at every juncture”.In a Press release, JD(U) general secretary KC Tyagi said, “The Supreme Court judgement clearly raises doubt on the intention of Gujarat Government against the innocents and minorities in their State. The BJP, meanwhile, has called cases against Amit Shah in three-staged killing as politically motivated.
“If cases against Shah are politically motivated then why not such cases of innocents like Adambhai Sulemanbhai Ajmeri and Abdul Kayum should also be treated as politically motivatedIJ”.
Adam Ajmeri, Shan Miya alias Chand Khan and Mufti Abdul Qyyum Mansuri were awarded death sentence in July, 2006, by the special court set up to try the case under POTA. However, Tyagi said, “Strict actions are required against the police officials and the then Home Minister Amit Shah for implicating innocent people in false cases and making their family life miserable.”
