It is good that you think that PMs should be impartial in this matters but what about the current incumbent who certainly was not? As for as your suggestion that PM knew the man to be innocent is concerned the fact is that once the man had been found to be and pronounced innocent he was immediately released. Any claims to the contrary before the pronouncement were pure hearsay and the PM or PMO was/is not supposed to give any credit to these. So by your logic if large sections of the media NOW start to assert that Saeed Mota is really innocent then we should (at least you would) start to treat him as innocent!!!!
