The Bharatiya Janata Party has criticised the Tamil Nadu government for granting parole to those convicted in the Coimbatore bomb blasts, calling the move a sign of softness towards terrorists.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) publicly rebuked the Tamil Nadu administration for its decision to grant parole to individuals convicted in the Coimbatore bomb blasts. In a statement, the party described the parole as an act of leniency that could embolden terrorist elements. The BJP argued that the decision undermines the severity of the crime and the suffering of victims' families. The criticism comes amid heightened sensitivity around security measures in Tamil Nadu following the 1998 Coimbatore attacks. The party called for a review of the parole policy to ensure that justice is not compromised.
