SC to hear plea challenging clean chit to PM Modi in Gujarat riots on Nov 19


New Delhi, Nov 13 (DC): The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a plea filed by Zakia Jafri, challenging clean chit given by the Special Investigation Team to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, other top politicians and bureaucrats in the 2002 Gujarat riots.

The apex court will hear the plea on Monday, November 19.

Zakia Jafri is the widow of former Congress MP Ehsan Jafri who was among the 69 people massacred in Gulbarg society during the 2002 riots.

The Gujarat High Court had in October 2017 dismissed Zakia's plea challenging the SIT's clean chit to PM Modi and others pertaining to “larger conspiracy” behind the 2002 riots in which more than 1,000 people were massacred in Gujarat.

The court upheld the magisterial court’s verdict, accepting the Supreme Court-appointed SIT’s closure report giving clean chit to PM Modi and others, citing lack of “prosecutable evidence” against them.

    Only in India does a person who was in charge of the state where atrocious crimes were committed can go on to be the PM, with all the blind bhakths roaming around, with all the communal fragrance they spread and with all the Crony capitalist who will do everything for a dime , anything is possible..

    - Chor sipoy
    - One man Show
    - Kill them all, come back alone
    - One man Army
    - Catch me if you can
    - Indirect Dictator
    - Great manupulator

    - Cow politics (Gauraksha deployment/Squad)
    - Ram Temple
    - Rs. 15,00,000 (false promise)
    - Fake leadership
    - bringing black money back (no body knows where it disappeared)
    - Rupee at par with USD
    - False/cooked up stories and allegation against congress

    Only the blind who thought Modi to be 'Sri Ram', to have come to rebuild the Mandir in Ayodhya will give forecast like you.

    Now when it did not happen even after having majority in Lok/Rajya Sabha both, their blind fold may have fallen off. So, don't be so sure, just wait for six more months to tell about 2019, 2024 and many more years.

    Mr. Pai,

    Are you around ? This is one of the case that went PUSKA.... Lets watch the fun now !

    Because the time is not so good for Modi now, with Raflae, CBI/RBI in discussion much of the day in India, than the hero-worship that was happening before.

    Cbi/rbi all these acts can be relooked into...
    If they do not establish best practices then laws can be rewritten to make them obey.. Do not underestimate government powers..

    One example was ACB in Karnataka... It was not there before... Sidda did it...
