'Pakistan had consistently raised the lack of progress and the subsequent concerted attempts by India to exonerate the perpetrators of this heinous terrorist act' Pakistani foreign office, on acquittal of Samjhauta train bombing accused
The court in the northern state of Haryana gave its verdict after dismissing a petition filed last week by the daughter of a Pakistani victim who wanted to get her statement recorded as a witness.
"Prosecution has failed to prove the case so the court acquitted all of them," lawyer Mukesh Garg told reporters outside the court. "The court first rejected the application from a Pakistani lady." One of those declared not guilty is Swami Aseemanand, a self-styled Hindu holy man and former member of the far-right organisation Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh , the parent of India's ruling party.
Aseemanand was jailed in 2010 after admitting his involvement in the attack on the train near Panipat, a city about 100 km north of Delhi. He later said he had been tortured to give a false statement. List of people Pakistan must immediately demand from India and get them declared global terrorists at UN:
