Bhima-Koregaon verdict: BJP's Sambit Patra says SC ruling vindicates govt's stand, exposes Congress' 'shamelessness'

Firstpost  

Quoting the court’s order, Patra claimed that the fact that a majority judgment has held that the accused were not arrested because of dissent, confirms BJP’s stand Reacting to the Supreme Court judgment on the Bhima-Koregaon arrests, Bharatiya Janata Party said the apex court’s ruling vindicated their stand and exposed the Congress party. Addressing a press conference after the ruling, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said the Supreme Court made some important observations which vindicated its stand on the controversial arrests of five human rights’ activists on charges of being “urban Naxals”, waging war against India, supporting banned Maoist outfits and hatching a conspiracy to instigate the Bhima-Koregaon violence on 1 January, 2018. Quoting the court order, Patra claimed that the fact that a majority judgment held that the accused were not arrested because of dissent, confirmed BJP’s stand that there was no hidden agenda in the activists’ arrest. He said that after the Supreme Court verdict, the Congress party’s lies were blatantly expose and Rahul’s attempt to gain political mileage out of the issue failed.
