Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami said, "Malegaon blast case is a strong blow to the Congress' narrative of 'Hindu terrorism'." He added, "Congress defamed saints, Sanatan culture, and patriots with false narratives like 'saffron terrorism,' and today's decision has exposed that sin." His remark came after Maharashtra's special court acquitted all 7 accused in 2008 Malegaon blast case.
