New Delhi: Home minister Rajnath Singh showed political maturity on Thursday when, in his statement in Lok Sabha on the recent incidents in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, he avoided mentioning any terror outfit. Mr Singh said the train blast was an act of a “suspected terrorist gang”.
He did, however, say that the NIA would take up the probe into the Lucknow encounter in which an alleged ISIS operative, Saifullah, was killed. The NIA will also probe the Tuesday blast on the Bhopal-Ujjain train in MP.
Mr Singh applauded Saifullah’s father, Sartaj Mohammed, for refusing to accept his son’s body.
“I express my sympathy on behalf of the government and also express sympathy. The government is proud of people like Sartaj,” Singh said.
