Vadra's remark on Pahalgam: HC bench refuses to intervene
1 2 Lucknow: The Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad high court, while disposing of the petition filed against the alleged controversial statement given by Robert Vadra after the Pahalgam terror attack , has on Friday refused to intervene in the matter. The court said that the petitioner has other legal remedies which can be pursued. A division bench of Justice Rajan Roy and Justice Om Prakash Shukla passed the order on a petition filed by Hindu Front for Justice and others. In the petition, it was demanded that the court should direct the central government to constitute an SIT to investigate Vadra's allegedly controversial statement. It had also demanded that action should be taken against Vadra under various provisions of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Twenty-six people, mostly tourists, were killed and several injured when terrorists opened fire at a meadow near the popular tourist town of Pahalgam in south Kashmir's Anantnag district on April 22. Vadra, the son-in-law of Congress Parliamentary Party chief Sonia Gandhi and brother-in-law of party MP Rahul Gandhi, triggered a row by appearing to suggest that non-Muslims were targeted in Pahalgam as terrorists feel that Muslims are being "mistreated" in the country.
