Assemanand's acquittal in 2007 Ajmer Dargah blast case: India rejects Pakistan's efforts to meddle in Indian affairs

New Delhi: Days after Islamabad expressed concern over the acquittal of Swami Aseemanand in the 2007 Ajmer Sharif blast case, India on Thursday rejected Pakistan's efforts to meddle in the Indian judicial system.

JP Singh was summoned by Pakistan on Friday night.

Addressing a press briefing, Gopal Baglay, the spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs, said the Indian judiciary needed no self-serving sermons.

Last week, a special court had acquitted Swami Aseemanand and six others in the 2007 Ajmer Dargah blast case, giving them the "benefit of doubt". The bombing had killed three people and left at least 15 others injured.

 

Aseemanand is also accused of masterminding the deadly 2007 Samjhauta Express bombing that killed 68 people, most of them Pakistanis.
