Zakia Jafri, wife of slain
former parliamentarian Ehsan Jafri - who was killed along with 68
people during the 2002 communal riots in Gujarat - on Monday filed a
protest petition in a local court in Ahmedabad challenging the clean
chit given to the Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi by the Supreme
Court-appointed SIT which probed the case.
“She has filed two volumes of petition and 10 CDs containing documents and other evidence. The court has directed the SIT to first argue on the matter from April 24,” a lawyer connected with the case said. She has also demanded that the SIT report should be scrapped and another probe be undertaken by some independent agency. Ever since the SIT headed by former CBI director Dr RK Raghavan gave a clean chit to Modi, Zakia has maintained that the SIT has “overlooked evidence she and others had presented during the court of investigation”. She had also accused the SIT of adopting a biased and partisan approach against the victims who are fighting an unyielding legal battle against the accused.
She wants Gujarat chief
minister Narendra Modi and over 60 others to be arraigned as accused
in the massacre case in which a former parliamentarian was put to
death in broad daylight.
