Gandhinagar:
Activist Teesta Setalvad of Mumbai-based NGO Citizens for Justice
and Peace Friday filed an affidavit before the G.T. Nanavati-Akshay
Mehta judicial enquiry commission providing details of the locations
of some important mobile phone numbers during the 2002 communal
riots in Gujarat.
She said the locations of these mobile numbers were clinching
evidence of their movements during these crucial days and of the
complicity of the state government in the post-Godhra communal
riots.
These numbers were held by the officials of the chief minister's
office, senior ministers in the then Narendra Modi cabinet, senior
bureaucrats and police officers as well as some Vishwa Hindu
Parishad and Bajrang Dal leaders.
Teesta claimed that there were 15 phone calls from the chief
minister's office to the then Ahmedabad police commissioner P.C.
Pande on the morning of Feb 28, 2002.
"Despite this, the police commissioner did not stir out of his
office which led to the conclusion that there were instructions from
the top to the police not to act."
She also submitted analysis of the locational details of key
ministers, bureaucrats and police officers, and VHP leaders to
conclude that when the communal riots broke out most of these
functionaries were in the vicinity of Naroda or Gulbarg Society in
Ahmedabad, which reported major casualties during the rioting.
Those whose call records figure include the then minister of state
for home Gordhan Jhadaphia, the then heath minister Ashok Bhatt, the
then home secretary Ashok Narayan, the then state director general
of police K. Chakravarthi, other key police officers, MLA Mayaben
Kodnani, and the then VHP state general secretary Jaideep Patel --
both later held as accused in the Naroda-Patiya and Naroda Gaam
massacres -- and Bajrang Dal leader Babu Bajrangi, also an accused.
Setalvad's affidavit, however, mostly contained the same details
that the Jansangharsh Manch, which is representing the riot victims
before the Nanavati-Mehta commission, has already submitted to the
commission over three years ago.
It was mainly on this basis that the Manch wanted Chief Minister
Narendra Modi and some others to be summoned before the panel for
cross-examination.
The commission, however, did not oblige the Manch which, in turn,
approached the high court where the matter rests. The commission has
informed the high court that it is yet to take a final decision on
summoning Modi.
