The Opposition is not leaving any stone unturned in its attack on the government during the Monsoon Session of the Parliament. Soon after the verdict on the 2008 Malegaon blast case was out, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday asked if the news of the acquittal of the accused was intended to suppress the big news of the US announcing imposition of 25 per cent tariffs on India.

Earlier on Thursday, Mumbai's NIA special court acquitted all the seven accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast case. While giving out the verdict on the bomb blast case, it stated that the prosecution failed to establish the case beyond a reasonable doubt.

While speaking to reporters in the national capital, Yadav asserted, "I did not read the report, but the accused who were involved in such a huge incident should be punished. Such a big thing happened in America; is this news to suppress that? Tariffs are indeed a big question."
