Gujrat (India): Godhra Commission report tabled in state assembly,
clean chit to Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The Sabarmati Express coach burning was a "pre-planned conspiracy", a
probe panel has said also giving a clean chit to Gujarat Chief
Minister Narendra Modi and the state police clean chit in the
subsequent post-Godhra riots that claimed over 1,000 lives.
The report which went into the coach burning in February, 2002 in
which 58 kar sevaks returning from Ayodhya were killed, "was a pre-
planned conspiracy" which was hatched at the Aman Guest House in
Godhra.
The train carnage was cited as the reason by Hindu outfits to justify
the post-Godhra pogrom.
This finding of the two-member Commission goes contrary to a probe
headed by another former Supreme Court judge U C Banerjee set up by
the Lalu Prasad-headed railway ministry that the coach burning was
purely an accident.
Retired justice Akshay Mehta was the other member of the Nanavati
Commission.
"There is absolutely no no evidence to show that either the Chief
Minister or any of the ministers in his council or police officers
had played any role in the Godhra incident," said the report of
Justice G T Nanavati, a former Supreme Court judge, that went into the
train burning incident.
The first part of the report was tabled in the state assembly on
Thursday and evoked instant criticism from political parties and
activists opposed to the BJP.
They contended that the Commission was set up to "mislead" the
people.
