New Delhi, Nov 13 : The Supreme Court will hear on November 19 a plea by Zakia Jafri challenging the Gujarat High court order upholding the clean chit to the then Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and others for the alleged larger conspiracy in the 2002 post-Godhra riots.
Zakia Ahsan Jafri is the widow of late Congress leader Ahsan Jafri who was killed in mob violence on Gulberg Housing Society during 2002 Gujarat riots. Jafri was former member of parliament.
The bench of Justice A.M. Khanwilkar and Justice Deepak Gupta said they would hear the plea by Zakia Jafri on Monday after it came up for hearing today.
Jafri has challenged the October 5, 2017 order of Gujarat High Court upholding the Magistrate court order rejecting Jafri’s protest petition challenging the SIT report giving clean chit to top political leaders and state functionaries for the alleged larger conspiracy.
The SIT was set up by the top court, and it had come to the conclusion that no case was made out and the same was accepted by the Magistrate and the finding was “erroneously” reiterated by the High Court, says the petition by Jafri.
The petition further says that the High Court refused to interfere with the Magistrate court order “despite large amount of documentation and contemporaneous evidence that existed which made out a triable case against all the accused.”
The petition by Jafri says she in her case had levelled allegations against various bureaucrats, police officers and political leaders for alleged “conspiracy, abetment and hate speech” culminating in 2002 violence.
Petitioner Jafri referred to the burning of the S-6 coach of the Sabarmati Express on February 27, 2002 resulting in the death of 59 kar sevaks at Godhra railway station. She said this was “presumed to be communal attack against the Hindus and this culminated into a reprisal against the Muslim community leading to orchestrated violence and targeted killings.”
Jafri says in her petition that “as contemporaneous official data began to be released, including the intelligence collected by the State Intelligence Bureau (SIB), it transpired that the SIB had information about systematic movements of kar sevaks and accumulation of arms, which was ignored and facilitated by inaction.”(IANS)
Indian islamic Terrorism Leader Owaisi is saying that Muslims will kill all Hindus in 15 Minutes if police is removed from scene. I watched his speech on YouTube video myself ( Do a Google Search) and he said it in public rally and with thousands of Muslims sitting there and loudly cheering it as if they were sitting in their beloved, cherished Pakistan.
What happened… why Supreme Court now?
He said he will kill anti social elements like RSS members who are anti Hindu. He never said that he wanted to kill Hindus. In fact Hinduism and teachings of Hinduism say you, RSS members are meant to Hellfire in the next life. Can you blame Hindu scriptures?
Owaisi view does not represent all Muslims views i condemn him for what he said he is just doing what BJP is doing with Hindus. i.e. spreading hate for Muslims and Owaisi spreading hate for Hindus we should boycott all such peoples and parties , these are all dangerous for our democratic counrty
No doubt it was irresponsible statement by Akbar like many by others including yourself.
I think Muslims are trying hard to make India next Myanmar. Modi is a failure as a Hindu leader. We need much stronger than Modi.
Sooner or Later Muslims will do something stupid as Sikhs did in 1984 then Muslim Relief camps will be in Pakistan.
Amen. I wish that happens. Truth is Hindu Muslim cannot live together. Jo bhaichaare ki baat karte hai..woh beekoof bana rahe hai..gumrah kar rahe hai.
Brother,I guess ur from creamy layer of the society and ur not aware of many things.
Being a co citizen ,Muslims breath what u breath,Muslims eat what u eat,Muslims drink what u drink,Muslims live where u live.hence they can understand u and feel u and viceversa.
In total try to make a good nation
