BJP leaders hold dharnas; recite Hanuman Chalisa on Jaipur blasts anniversary

The Hindu  

Holding the Congress government in Rajasthan responsible for the acquittal of the accused in the Jaipur serial blasts case, the BJP on May 13 held dharnas and recited Hanuman Chalisa in parts of the city to mark the 15th anniversary of the bombings. The Rajasthan High Court in March this year acquitted four accused, who were awarded the death penalty by a lower court in 2019, on the ground of shoddy investigation. Another party leader said the BJP has filed a special leave petition in the Supreme Court on behalf of two family members of the blast victims against the Rajasthan High Court verdict. Describing the dharnas as 'drama', Rajasthan Food and Civil Supplies Minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas said the BJP leaders were shedding "crocodile tears" 15 years after the blasts.
