June 11: The main Opposition BJP on Saturday said the government’s statement that India is yet to take a decision on filing a chargesheet against 26/11 accused David Headley and Tahawwur Rana does not inspire confidence.
The party said the statement shows the government’s “lethargy and reluctance” in bringing to book those involved in the attack.
“The government’s statements do not inspire confidence. The government all the while has been giving an impression that it was unwilling to go deeper into the investigation. We ask: is there any lethargy, any reluctance?” BJP national spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman said.
