New Delhi: The CPI-M
Friday sought a fresh investigation into Gujarat Chief Minister
Narendra Modi's role in the 2002 riots, saying the Special
Investigation Team (SIT) report was "flawed".
"The report... on the communal violence and killings is flawed and
seeks to cover-up the heinous role played by Modi," the Communist
Party of India-Marxist said in a statement.
It said the SIT report admits that Modi told officers then that
Hindus should be allowed to vent their anger following the killing
of Hindus in a train burning in Godhra.
"According to the SIT's strange logic, a chief minister
instructing senior police officers not to intervene and act
against the violence is not a culpable action nor dereliction of
duty.
"Further, the report shockingly provides a justification for the
mob violence which led to the ghastly killing of Ehsan Jafri and
others in the Gulberg society housing attack by giving credence to
the report that Jafri provoked the mob by firing at them."
The CPI-M added: "The SIT investigation and report has been
vitiated by the lack of application of mind and by the inability
to comprehend the premeditated actions of the executive in
Gujarat.
"The SIT findings exonerating Modi have been questioned by the
report submitted to the Supreme Court by the Amicus Curiae.
"A fresh investigation into the role and actions of Modi should be
conducted, so that the truth comes out and accountability is
fixed."
