Delhi’s AAP government requests another month’s time for deciding whether to sanction prosecution of the accused in JNU sedition case
Op IndiaThe Delhi government asked the court on Wednesday to provide it with a month’s time to decide whether to grant sanction to prosecute former JNU students’ union president Kanhaiya Kumar and others in the 2016 JNU sedition case. In February this year, the court had come down hard against the AAP government claiming that it is deliberately delaying the process of granting the sanction to prosecute Kanhaiya Kumar and others, accused of sedition. After being reprimanded for delaying the process, the Delhi government has now once again resorted to dilatory tactics, soliciting another month’s time to allow its permission on the prosecution of those accused in the sedition case, just a day after Congress released its manifesto. The AAP government in Delhi has been showing a dubious inclination towards the accused in the JNU sedition case as it has been repeatedly trying to derail or delay it.
