Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) legislator Ram Kadam on Monday said Congress`s “face had turned black” after the acquittal of all the seven accused in the 2008 Malegaon blasts case. He accused the opposition party of wanting to defame the Hindu religion.

"The truth cannot be hidden... It took 7 years, and Sadhvi Pragya and others had done a long struggle. Truth might be oppressed, but it cannot be defeated. When the truth has come out, Congress`s face has turned black because of the way they were trying to defame the Sanatan Hindu religion," Kadam told ANI.

"Why did they put the names of CM Yogi, Prime Minister, and RSS Chief in a conspiracy? These people wanted to defame the Hindu religion. For this reason, they brought up the term `saffron terrorism," he alleged.
