Malegaon Verdict: BJP Demands Gandhi Apology, Slams Congress “Appeasement”
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday celebrated the Malegaon blast case verdict, which acquitted all accused, terming it a decisive blow to the Congress party’s “saffron terror” narrative. The party’s jubilation was palpable.
Senior BJP leaders demanded unconditional apologies from Congress President Sonia Gandhi and former party president Rahul Gandhi. They accused the Congress of misusing government agencies to falsely implicate innocent Hindus.
The BJP further sharpened its attack, citing the Ishrat Jahan case as another example of Congress’s alleged targeting of Hindus. The party reiterated its accusations of the Congress engaging in “vote-bank politics” and appeasement of the Muslim community.
This verdict, the BJP asserted, exposes the Congress’s malicious campaign to malign the Hindu community and its deep-seated prejudice. The ramifications of this political battle extend far beyond a single court case, impacting the national discourse on communal harmony and political integrity. The coming months will undoubtedly witness heightened political sparring on this front.
