Akhlaq lynching case: Left seeks President’s intervention as UP govt drops charges, calls it ‘politically motivated’

Karat termed the governor's approval of the withdrawal a "politically motivated" attempt to subvert justice, questioning the governor's constitutional duty to uphold the rule of law.
