BJP welcomes SC's decision to dismiss Yakub Memon's plea

BJP has welcomed the Supreme Court's decision to dismiss Yakub Memon's plea against his death sentence in Mumbai blast case. Talking to AIR, party Secretary Shrikant Sharma said the justice has been done with people and families who had lost their near and dear ones in the blasts. He said the decision has once again reaffirmed the faith of people in the country's judicial system.<br/><br/>Another party leader Sambit Patra said it is defeat of the people who had tried to politicize the matter. He added that it was unfortunate that some prominent personalities and political leaders made efforts to related the Memon conviction to a religion.<br/><br/>On the other hand, Congress has said that rejection of Yakub Memon's petition by the Supreme Court is only partial justice to the 1993 Bombay blast victims. Reacting to apex court's judgement, party spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala told AIR that full justice would be done in the case when Tiger Memon is brought back from Pakistan and punished.
