Union Minister Kiren Rijiju said the government was hopeful a team of NIA will soon visit Pakistan.

Minister Of State, Home Affairs, Kiren Rijiju Friday said the earlier probe into the 2008 Malegaon blast case was part of Congress’s “game plan to create communal divide”. He was replying to a question on the clean chit given by the NIA to Sadhvi Pragya Thakur.

“To prove their theory of Hindu terror or saffron terror, Congress arrested some people in a dramatic act. We will not interfere with the case. It is for the NIA to continue and bring true facts before the country,” he said.

Rijiju, who was here to mark the NDA government’s two years in office, said that there was no trace of corruption in the functioning of the Centre now.
