SC Stays Acquittal in Mumbai Blasts, Waris Pathan Reacts
Imagine a big court case about a terrible event where many people died.
A lower court said 12 people accused of doing it were not guilty.
Now, a higher court has put a temporary stop on that decision.
A politician named Waris Pathan thinks the higher court will look at everything again and might agree with the first court.
He also says it's unfair if some people are treated differently by the law because of their religion.
He's upset that some politicians who promised to be fair are now trying to put the 12 people back in jail, even though the first court spent a long time looking at the evidence.
Supreme Court stayed Bombay High Court's acquittal of 12 accused in 2006 Mumbai train blasts.
Waris Pathan expressed confidence in Supreme Court's review, expecting relief for the accused.
Pathan criticized selective justice, questioning the Maharashtra government's focus on appealing this case.
Pathan criticized Congress MP Varsha Gaikwad's call for an appeal against the acquittal.
The 2006 Mumbai train bombings were a deadly terror attack that killed over 180 people.
