STATE-SPONSORED TERRORISM Zakia Jaffry, widow of the former Congress MP Ehsan Jaffry killed in the 2002 Gujarat Genocide, has made a serious allegation that there was plenty of evidence to suggest there was a State-sponsored conspiracy to expand the aftermath of the Godhra train burning incident across Gujarat, but a Special Investigation Team (SIT) tasked with looking at this completely ignored the facts before it. Ms Jaffry’s counsel Mihir Desai on Thursday tore apart the SIT’s report that gave the divisive Chief Minister Modi, a clean chit in the 2002 mass killings and pointed out that there was a conspiracy from day one — February 27, 2002 — to spread the outrage over the Godhra incident across the length and breadth of Gujarat, the birthplace of the symbol of peace in the country Mahatma Gandhi. He questioned, before a metropolitan court, why the SIT appointed by the Supreme Court glossed over damning evidence ? The big question remains, for how long the justice will be delayed and if the delayed justice will not be denied ? I can only say, "Better late than never". "Neils desperandum" Ms Jaffry and Mr Desai (Never say die). We salute your fight for justice and untiring efforts. Its a matter of grave concern as it is serious threat to our secular democratic republic. The mass murderer can go scot free to contest the defacto chair of the country without a fair trial. The law must take its own course, as and when required and those responsible must be brought to the book without fear or favour !
