2002 riots: Nanavati panel report not tabled before assembly

March 31, 2015 23:51

The Gujarat Assembly's budget session ended today but findings of the '2002 riot probe panel' were not tabled though it was submitted four months ago.

The 2002 riots, in which more than 1,000 people were killed, was probed for around 14 years by a retired Supreme court judge G T Nanavati and accordingly the final report was submitted to Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel in November 2014.

Generally, such inquiry panel reports are presented in the assembly session once they are submitted to the government. Repeated calls made by PTI to Gujarat government spokesperson and minister Nitin Patel to comment on the issue evoked no response.
