UP withdraws terror charges against Gorakhpur blasts accused

[LurkerBaba]

The Uttar Pradesh government Wednesday withdrew the case aggainst Tariq Qasmi, prime accused in the Gorakhpur bomb blasts of May 22, 2007 which left six people, including a woman, injured.

The move followed a recommendation from the district administration to the state home department that the case against Qasmi, resident of Azamgarh, be withdrawn.

Following this, the home department late Wednesday issued orders for the withdrawing the cases against the accused.

Qasmi was picked up by the Special Task Force (STF) after he was found to be in touch with HuJi activists.

This is the first case of terror charges being withdrawn against any one since the Akhilesh Yadav government was sworn in last year.

The Samajwadi Party (SP), from time to time, has been assuring the minority community that "false charges" slapped on "innocent Muslims" would be withdrawn.

Home secretary Sarvesh Mishra said the district magistrate of Gorakhpur has been directed to file an affidavit in the concerned court, informing it of the government decision.

All India Sunni Board president Mohammad Mushtaq welcomed the decision and lauded the SP government for beginning to fulfill its promise.

Congrats Akhilesh & team for saving " innocent muslims" & keeping India Sickular.

we are proud of you.

 

[Dovah]

They actually had this in their manifesto before the polls. Well done UP for voting them into power.

 

[Ray]

What is the reality?

Who labelled the chap as a terrorist?

O what grounds?

Should someone not be held accountable for false charges or releasing a terrorist with plausible suspicion?

We can have a circus depending on the Vote flavour of the moment.

If just because the man is a Muslim, he has been booked, it goes against everything India stands for.

And if whether he is a Muslim, he has done a crime, but for Votes he has been released, then the Govt should answer for it!

 

[A chauhan]

Lets wait and see how many crimes they commit after getting released, SP jindabad!

2 arguments...

UP withdraws terror charges against Gorakhpur blasts accused - Why? Because of minority appeasement? If so, then isn't it painting terrorism green?

UP withdraws terror charges against Gorakhpur blasts accused - Why? Because terrorism has no color? If so, then who is SP appeasing?

No wonder UP remains a sh!thole. I am happy that my native state got separated from it.

Manifesto should be attack India and we will forgive you.
Threaten us of more partition and we will give you more quotas.
Kill more of us and we will build and subsidise your religion.

I feel UP should be divided further in 3-4 states only then gonks such as SP & BSP can be tamed.

1. If India the charges were falsely motivated then also haul in the STF, and the investigating officer
2. It is possible that SP let off this individual who is allegedly an HuJi terrorist, because th case was weak, and/or Agencies responsible for our security gave him a cleanchit.
3. If its a case of "muslim appeasement" and a terrorist has been let off, then the Centre and/or security agencies can step in because the States cannot overrule the Centre, in matters of national security.
4. Further, if its a case of jeopardising national security, and if UPA and Central Agencies are full of incompetent individuals, then why isn't NDA protesting against this particular action ? Is it because it realizes that this case is weak, or they are resigned to such damaging acts ?

Yes, you should be happy to be severed out of that s*****ole. Unfortunately, minority appeasement is a familiar & well-practiced theme across the entire stretch of India; effect of Jayalalitha's dictate upon Indian foreign policy wrt. Sri Lanka is out there for all to see. Familiar stories abound in West Bengal, Bihar, AP, Karnataka, not to speak of Kerala & Assam & NE states. Demography-shift or shall I say, demographic-inversion has its consequences, especially in a flawed-democracy like ours. It is not about green or saffron, its all about power at all costs, come what may. That particular religion of peace is more than just a religion, it has been a powerful politico-military force, way too cogent harbinger of violent changes to ignore.

How is Jayalalitha indulging in minority appeasement, when Indian Tamils are in a majority in Tamil Nadu, and Sri Lankan Tamils not even Indian citizens ?
Or do you mean what UPA did was minority appeasement, that is listening to grievances of Tamils ?

 

[TrueSpirit]

UPA did..... by abandoning a strategically important neighbor & by surrendering Indian national interest over demands of some self-serving fringe groups. By making Indian foreign policy subject to such dictates (both internal & external), it made us a laughing stock globally. And, to your bewilderment, Sri Lankan Tamils, who are not even Indian citizens, do have substantial presence in some constituencies lying in east coastal districts. For these refugees, our governments don't procrastinate in issuing of voter id cards & whatever needed to boost their party's prospects in local elections. This has been a rampant & well-established norm over the border states & increasingly, in the mainland states as well. Those who feign ignorance over such things, they are entitled to their opinion but...........well, I won't say it...on this forum.

Btw, as for Jayalalitha's minority appeasement, look out for the fate of "Viswaroopam" where she never hesitated in imposing an almost-ban on the movie till the producer relented to her demands of scene cuts (that were hardly provoking by any standards, for the sane ones). She overruled CBFC, the final authority in this matter & one more incidence of constitutional /legislative violation was brazenly showcased, under the garb of so-called "public interest of communal harmony". Such secular tendencies are being overly manifested throughout the country.
