Narendra Modi summoned by SIT for questioning on riots

By IANS,

Gandhinagar : The Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the 2002 Gujarat communal riots has summoned Chief Minister Narendra Modi for questioning on March 21.

According to SIT chief R.K. Raghavan, the move to question Modi follows an order by the Supreme Court on April 27, 2009, on a petition of Zakia Jaffri and advocate-activist Teesta Setalvad pertaining to a wider conspiracy surrounding the 2002 communal riots.

The petition had named Narendra Modi and was referred by the Supreme Court bench to the SIT with directions to look into it.

Al-Qaeda concept alive and kicking in India

How many of the Hindu right wing and RSS influenced readers will deny that the following terrorist attacks were carried out by the HINDU AL-QAEDA thugs 1. Mumbai Train Bomb Blasts. 2. Malegaon Bomb Blast 3. Ahmedabad Bomb Blast 4. Surat Unexplored Bomb Blast. 5. Delhi Bomb Blast 2008 6. Samjhauta Express Bomb 7. Hyderabad Mecca Masjid Blast
8. Ajmer Sharif Darga Blast 9. Serial Blast in UP courts 10. Jaipur Blasts. 11 Nanded Blast 12. Malegaon Blast of 2008 the other one was 2006. and the giant ones such as 13. Babri Masjid demolition and 14. the century’s worst massacre in Gujarat killing over 2300 innocent people. We have to wait for 17 years (until the year 2019) to get Narendra Modi to submit his case in the court.

American Presidents can face impeachment procedure, but not Indian Chief Ministers as they are more powerful than monarchs of the Middle-eastern kingdoms.

Summoning Modi is a drama

Justice UC Banerjee Panel probing the 2002 Godhra incident which triggered the Gujarat riots has concluded that the blaze which killed 59 passengers on Sabarmati Express train was accidental.

In his interim report Justice Banerjee has rejected "the petrol theory" and the "miscreant activity theory". Justice Banerjee has clearly stated that the fire in S-6 Coach of Sabarmati Express was "accidental".

In this background the stand that petrol was thrown from outside by the miscreants to burn the passengers in S-6 coach is baseless. The Forensic Science Laboratory, Ahmedabad's report (filed by the police with the charge-sheet) that the coach was set on fire not from outside but from within.

The report has absolved the stone-throwing mob, whatever their number or intent. In any case, the window grills were not broken. There was no attempt by the mob to break into the coach. The doors of the coach were locked from inside.

The Sangh Parivar and Modi used this claim to set entire Gujarat on fire, leading to a carnage of genocidal dimension which took nearly 2500 lives.

Indeed Modi and Co. have tried to justify the carnage as a natural reaction to the gruesome and horrifying burning of '58 Karsevaks' in the train at Godhra, which was universally condemned.

The above testimony by the survivors of the victims is terrible, depressing, grief-striking, pathetic and profoundly sorrowful. Who can stop some of the emotionally up set victims relatives turning violent and resort to terrorism to retaliate and take revenge.

May One True Almighty God( Allah swt) guide them to the right path and give them patience and courage to withstand this horrendous tragedy
