VHP hits out at Cong as court acquits Nanded blast accused
The Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Sunday termed the acquittal of the 2006 Nanded blast accused a “tight slap” on the Congress’ face, and asked the party’s top leadership to apologise to the Hindu society.
The reaction comes after a Sessions court in Maharashtra’s Nanded area acquitted all nine surviving accused in the 2006 blast case on Saturday.
“The Congress’ dream of proving Hindus to be terrorists in the 2006 Nanded blast case stands exposed, with the court acquitting all persons, made accused in the case during the Congress’ rule,” VHP national spokesperson Vinod Bansal said.
The case pertains to an explosion at the house of Laxman Rajkondwar — who was allegedly an RSS worker — in Nanded city on the intervening night of April 4 and 5, 2006.
