VARANASI: "There is no question of freeing terrorists or withdrawing cases against them," said the PWD minister Shivpal Yadav when asked about the directive of the Allahabad High Court. The Allahabad High Court on Thursday asked the state government to seek instructions and inform it about the withdrawal of cases against the accused involved in bomb blasts at Varanasi's Sankat Mochan temple, Cantt railway station and other places. Yadav was here on Friday to meet the ailing socialist leader Ramkaran Dada. In a brief chat with reporters, he said he had no idea about letters regarding the withdrawal of cases against the accused of terror blasts. The intention of the government is clear and no guilty elements would be spared, he said. Regarding the pathetic condition of roads, he said there would be no dearth of funds for the roads. He said the foundation stone of five flyovers in the city would be laid by December 15. Besides, the government has also sought an estimate for the development and beautification of four ghats, he said.
