Tamil Nadu BJP president K. Annamalai on Tuesday expressed hope that “good sense” would prevail and Chief Minister M.K. Stalin would stop measures to release convicts of the 1998 Coimbatore serial bomb blasts case.
In a message on the microblogging site X, he pointed out that the Supreme Court recently rejected the bail petition of a few of these convicts. “Despite all this, the Tamil Nadu Assembly [on Tuesday, October 10, 2023] discussed the release of terrorists serving life imprisonment for their involvement in the Coimbatore bomb blast and other heinous acts,” he said.
Terming all the convicts in the case as radical Islamic fundamentalists, he alleged that “minority appeasement” seemed to to have taken the driver’s seat for a few [politicians] while the safety of those who elected them, has taken a back seat.
