AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday alleged the members of the minority community were experiencing "systemic discrimination" in the criminal justice system regardless of the party in power.

He was reacting to the acquittal of one of the accused in the2008 Rampur CRPF camp attack case by a court in Uttar Pradesh on Friday.

In a tweet, the Hyderabad MP said,"Muslims are incarcerated in terror cases only to be acquitted after decades.

We experience systemic discrimination in the criminal justice system regardless of the party in power.

The double injustice here is not only to Gulab Khan but also to the victims of Rampur attack."
In another tweet, Owaisi asked "Who were the real culprits? Will Gulab Khan be compensated for the indignity that he & his family had to endure?"
