In a statement issued today, the CPI said that the NIA has acted as a tool of the RSS-BJP led NDA government at the Centre. Also one of the five acquitted has already been convicted in Ajmer Dargah case, which only confirms the hollowness of the verdict.
The NIA had accused Aseemanand and others of conspiracy to target Muslim places of worship. The chargesheet stated that between 2005 and 2007 all planned to commit the acts including the bomb blast at Mecca Masjid on May 18, 2007. (IPA)

NEW DELHI: The Central Secretariat of the Communist Party of India expressed its shock and dismay over the verdict of an NIA court acquitting five main accused including Swami Aseemanand in the Mecca Masjid blast in Hyderabad that killed eight persons and injured 58. The judge had clearly stated that “the prosecution could not prove its case” because “no evidence was presented to prove the conspiracy”.
