Resolution Adopted On Judgement in the Mecca Masjid Bomb Blast Case

The 22nd Congress of the CPI (M) expresses profound shock at the acquittal by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) Special Court on April 16, 2018, of all those arrested in connection with the Mecca Masjid bomb blast case. It expresses deep concern that central agencies responsible for investigation and prosecution of crimes are increasingly biased in favour of Hindutva forces. Nine people offering prayers were killed in the bomb blast of Friday, May 18, 2007. 58 were injured. In the protests that followed, another five were shot dead by the police. All of them were Muslims.
