All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimee (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday said that Muslims are being discriminated against in the criminal justice system regardless of the party in power.
He said that Muslims are incarcerated in the terror-related cases “only to be acquitted” later on. Asaduddin Owaisi’s statement came two days after Gulab Khan, one of the accused in the 2008 Rampur CRPF camp terror attack case, was acquitted of his involvement in the case.
Taking to Twitter, Asaduddin Owaisi said: “Muslims are incarcerated in terror cases only to be acquitted after decades. We experience systemic discrimination in the criminal justice system regardless of the party in power. The double injustice here is not only to Gulab Khan but also to the victims of Rampur attack,” Asaduddin Owaisi said.
The AIMIM chief also asked if Gulab Khan would be compensated for the “indignity he had to endure for 12 years. “Who were the real culprits? Will Gulab Khan be compensated for the indignity that he & his family had to endure?” Asaduddin Owaisi tweeted.
