NEW DELHI: Union home minister Rajnath Singh said on Friday that the National Investigation Agency will not challenge the acquittal of Swami Aseemanand in the Samjhauta blast case, a statement which is likely to raise eyebrows in certain quarters.Speaking to Times Now, Singh said, “The court has pronounced its judgment. Whoever wants to appeal can appeal.”When asked whether the prosecutor will appeal against the verdict, he said, “No. Why should the government file an appeal? It makes no sense.” He also ruled out any fresh investigation into the Samjhauta blast. “NIA had probed the matter. Only after that they filed a chargesheet. Now that the court judgment is out, one has to rely on that.”The minister’s statement is at odds with the usual stand of governments that it was for the investigating agency to decide on filing appeals and examine legal options.While in the opposition, BJP had alleged that Aseemanand and others had falsely been implicated in the “saffron terror” cases to create a fake balance with jihadi terrorism as part of the politics of “minority appeasement."
