Govt wants fast-track courts for terror cases, says Veerappa Moily

Union law minister Veerappa Moily today said the government would like fast-track courts to deal with cases in connection with terror.

"We would like to have terror cases dealt with by fast-track courts," Moily told reporters.

"Terrorism has no territory...no religion. I think the time has come to deal with the terrorists very firmly. With that kind of willpower and determination, we are going after the terrorists," he said.

On the allegation by Muslim organisations that innocent Muslims have been arrested in connection with the 2006 Malegaon blasts, Moily said, "We would also see that whoever is innocent...they are not punished or tortured."
