BJP: CBI has single agenda in Ishrat Jahan case - nailing Modi
July 04, 2013  18:44
Charging the CBI for not probing role of a Pakistan-based terror outfit Lashkar-E-Taiba (LET) in the Ishrat Jahan encounter case, the BJP today alleged that the agency was acting at the behest of the Congress with a one-point agenda to frame the Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.

"We would like to ask the CBI as to why did it leave out the LET angle during investigation in the Ishrat Jahan encounter case when there was overwhelming evidence about presence of Pakistan-based terror outfit's militants in Gujarat in 2004," the BJP Deputy Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Ravishankar Prasad said.

The CBI has also not tried to find out as to what the 19 year-old Jahan was doing in Gujarat and whether she had any rapport with Javed Sheikh, Amjad Ali Rana and Zeeshan Johar - all said to be LET operatives, Prasad said and claimed that even the Pakistan-based terror outfit had acknowledged Jahan and Sheikh as martyrs in its website. But, the cbi agency has chosen to ignore all this informations about Jahan's background and directed its investigation with one-point agenda to nail the Gujarat Chief Minister, he said.
