Pragya Thakur, 6 Others Walk Free in Malegaon Blast Case—After Shah's ‘No Hindu...Terrorist' Remark

Seventeen years after the deadly 2008 Malegaon blast rocked Maharashtra, a special NIA court in Mumbai has acquitted all seven accused — including BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur and Lt Col Prasad Purohit — citing lack of concrete evidence. The judgment came just one day after Union Home Minister Amit Shah told the Rajya Sabha that "no Hindu can ever be a terrorist." The court emphasized that terrorism has no religion and that justice cannot be based on public perception or moral bias. This landmark verdict reignites debates on communal narratives, judicial process, and political influence in terror trials. #MalegaonBlast #PragyaThakur #AmitShah #HinduTerror #CourtVerdict #BreakingNews #IndiaPolitics #NIA #JudicialSystem #TerrorismDebate #CommunalPolitics #JusticeInIndia Also Read 2008 Malegaon Blast: Here Is The Timeline of The Case :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/2008-malegaon-blast-here-is-the-timeline-of-the-case-7816633.html?ref=DMDesc Pragya Thakur Makes Bhopal Girl Watch ‘The Kerala Story’, She Elopes With Muslim Days Later :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pragya-thakur-makes-bhopal-girl-watch-the-kerala-story-she-elopes-with-muslim-days-later-3570005.html?ref=DMDesc BJP MP Pragya Thakur booked in Karnataka over 'keep your knives sharp' remark :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/bjp-mp-pragya-thakur-booked-in-karnataka-over-keep-your-knives-sharp-remark-3505152.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~PR.274~GR.125~ED.346~

‘It Was A Mistake…’ Israel ADMITS “Mistake” After Gaza Church Strikes | Trump BLASTS Netanyahu

Gaza Church Strike: In a rare public rebuke, President Trump personally phoned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address the Israeli strike on Gaza's only Catholic Church, the Holy Family Church. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Trump’s reaction was "not positive," and said Netanyahu agreed the strike was a mistake. Israel has expressed deep regret, stating stray ammunition hit the church, killing three civilians and injuring nine, including the parish priest. The incident, which has drawn international condemnation—from the Vatican to Italy and France—adds fresh strain to U.S.–Israel relations. Netanyahu pledged a full investigation, emphasizing Israel’s commitment to protecting civilians and holy sites. As global outrage mounts over one of Gaza's most sacred landmarks being struck, Trump's demand for accountability signals growing U.S. intolerance of collateral harm amidst the Gaza conflict. #TrumpNetanyahuCall #GazaChurchStrike #HolyFamilyChurch #IsraelMistake #UScallsForJustice #CollateralDamage #GazaConflict #CatholicChurchGaza #TrumpRebukesIsrael #NetanyahuRegrets #InternationalCondemnation #VaticanResponse #ProtectCivilians #HumanitarianCrisis #MiddleEastDiplomacy #WarEthics #ReligiousSiteSafety #GazaWar #TrumpDiplomacy #GlobalOutrage ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.125~
