The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement:
The report of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) on the communal
violence and killings in Gujarat in 2002 is flawed and seeks to cover-up
the heinous role played by the Chief Minister Narendra Modi.
The SIT report concludes that Narendra Modi saying that the Hindus
should be allowed to vent their anger does not constitute an offence
because it was said “within the four walls of a room”. 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. This again is stated by citing Narendra Modi’s statement that
“action” had led to “reaction”.
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
Narendra 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 Narendra Modi should be conducted, so that the truth
comes out and accountability is fixed.
