bullet Digvijay to give Sonia report on Azamgarh visit corner

Special courts should be set up to fast-track terrorism cases involving youth from Azamgarh, Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh has suggested after his 'fact finding' visit to the Uttar Pradesh district.

Singh, who went to Azamgarh last week, told reporters here Monday that he would be submitting his report to party president Sonia Gandhi in the next two days.

'We want a free, fair and speedy trial,' he said.

Singh indicated his report will be based on papers and petitions given to him by the parents of youths arrested on terrorism charges.

Singh's visit had generated some controversy over his remarks on the 2008 Batla House shootout in Delhi.

Azamgarh had been in the news for the arrest of local youth on charges of involvement in terror.
