CPI(M)

Senior CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat wrote to President Droupadi Murmu on Saturday, seeking her intervention against the Uttar Pradesh government's move to withdraw charges against the accused in the 2015 Mohammad Akhlaq mob lynching case. She highlighted that UP Governor Anandiben Patel has granted permission for this 'wholly illegal and unjust' attempt to subvert justice, even though the main witness has already provided evidence.
