said it was unfortunate that all accused in the H.S.
Sabharwal murder case were acquitted by a Nagpur court
and questioned the role of BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh
government in the acquittal. "This is unfortunate. We do
not comment on court outcome but from day one, the state

minister Ghulam Nabi Azad has suggested late marriages
as a means of checking population growth. In a country
where even now women in their mid-20s are seen to be
getting "past" the marriageable age and where, in rural
areas, girls in the age group of 16-18 getting married
