NEW DELHI: Senior Congress MP and senior advocate Dr Abhishek Manu Singhvi on Saturday said the Supreme Court’s Friday judgment on 2002 Gujarat riots gives no clean chit to Prime Minister Modi as then Chief Minister of the states.
“The Supreme Court only rules out conspiracy or statements by Modi in presence of certain police officers to be absent…. Para 88 clearly names police officers who gave false evidence including their presence not being established. That must be respected as apex court order. No more, no less,” he tweeted, adding that “don’t forget many convicted of murders post #Godhra in Guj riots.”
“Shd never politicise #SC judgments violated by all #Bhakts suggesting SC held that BJP/#Modi/Guj Govt is “tussi great ho!” #SC simply upheld #SC which found no conspiracy and that violence was spontaneous reaction. Reading pol jumlas & unconnected clean chits into SC very misleading,” Singhvi explained.
