A high-level delegation from Islamic seminary Darul Uloom met Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh today. The delegation demanded that trials in terror cases be fast-tracked to ensure that the innocent are not jailed for long and are provided speedy justice.

The delegation led by Darul Uloom Deoband Vice Chancellor, Abul Qasim Nomani, presented a memorandum to the Prime Minister, highlighting some key demands like annulling the Central Madrassa Board proposal and exemption of Muslim mosques and educational and religious institutions from Direct Taxes Code, among others.

AIR correspondent reports, the delegation pointed out that many of the people arrested in the name of terrorism from different parts of the country had later been acquitted by the courts. They demanded that trials of people accused of terrorism be fast tracked and the innocent be released.
