Wireless messages dent SIT claim on Modi

April 18, 2013 09:33

A series of desperate wireless messages sent out by police and intelligence field staff positioned at the Sola Civil Hospital and other locations on February 27 and 28, 2002, blow a hole into the report of the SIT team -- that probed Zakia Jafris complaint against Narendra Modi and 58 others -- that stated there was no evidence to prove that the Chief Minister had sent the bodies of the 2002 Godhra victims to Ahmedabad with a view to parading them before the public.

The wireless extracts, annexed to a protest petition filed against the SIT's closure report by Jafri in a local court, show the following. One, there was a lot of anxiety over the Modi administration's decision to send the bodies to Ahmedabad.

Two, there were repeated pleas for bandobast at the hospital where crowds had gathered in anticipation of the arrival of the bodies.

Three, there were attacks on Muslims by crowds accompanying the funeral processions which set the stage for the large-scale violence that followed.
