Newsclick interviewed Human Rights Lawyer Nandita Haksar on the recent revelation by special public prosecutor Rohini Salian regarding the Malegaon blast case of 2008. Nandita explains the fundamentalist nature of the current regime and how one should not be surprised if the special prosecutor was forced to go soft on the accused. She adds that the Malegaon blast case was part of a larger Hindutva terror network named “Abhinav Bharat” which indulged in organized syndicated crime. It was not an individual Pragya Thakur or Colonel Purohit but a larger group of individuals with an aim to create fear among the minority community. Nandita also points out the bias of the judiciary in cases where people from the minority community are involved. She argues that the judicial process slows down in such cases, as in the Malegaon case where the trial has not even started.
