Union Home Minister Amit on Saturday said that he had seen Prime Minister Narendra Modi in pain because of the allegations related to Gujarat riots in 2002.
He said, “PM modi beinf such a big leader, but he did not say a word. But now the truth has come out. I have seen PM Modi how he bore the pain. “
“A person who is very strong can bear so much pain. He did not do anything when the judiciary process was underway,” he added.
Some people have kept the pot boiling. The case had dented the image of the BJP, but now it has been removed.
“The Gujarat government did not delay in its action at the time of riots. But so many Sikhs were killed in Delhi, but no arrests were made? How are they accusing us of biasness,” he said.
On Friday, the Supreme Court of India upheld the Special Investigation Team’s (SIT) clean chit to 64 people, including PM Narendra Modi, in the 2002 Gujarat riots case. It dismissed a plea by Congress leader Ehsan Jafri’s wife Zakia Jafri, stating that the plea was devoid of merit.
Ehsan Jafri was killed during the violence at Gulbarg Society in Ahmedabad on February 28, 2002.
A three-judge bench said the appeal was devoid of merit and upheld the decisions of the Metropolitan Magistrate and later the High Court to accept the Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team or SIT’s clean chit to PM Modi and others.
The top court has praised the SIT and pulled up the appellant for “bordering on undermining the integrity and sincerity of investigators”. The court has also talked about “some disgruntled Gujarat officials and others trying to create a sensation by making false revelations to keep the pot boiling for ulterior designs”. The bench has gone on to say that those involved in such “abuse of process need to be in the dock and face law”.
Kapil Sibal, who appeared for Zakia Jafri, told the top court that the SIT did not conduct an investigation but did a collaborative exercise and its probe was fraught with omissions to protect conspirators. He also said that officials of the SIT as well as the police were “rewarded handsomely”.
The SC, however, said that Jafri’s petition was motivated and prompted by directions from “some others”.
