Apex court rejects Zakira's plea challenging the clean chit to PM Narendra Modi on 2002 riots



The supreme court of India agreed with the findings of the Special Investigation Team appointed by it  and rejected the plea of Zakira Jafri and stated that there was no larger conspiracy behind the 2002 Gujarat riots. The appeal of Zakira Jafri was dismissed on Friday by  the apex court.



The appeal had challenged the SIT’s clean chit to the then Chief Minister of Gujrat and others in cases related to the riots. A bench of Justices A M Khanwilkar, Dinesh Maheshwari and C T Ravikumar said that the SIT did not find any conspiracy linking separate and disparate acts of arson and looting or outrageous claims made in sting operations or individual utterances or publications of purported hate speech, to any singular larger conspiracy or planned event.

The court in its ruling said that the allegations on Narendra Modi were motivated and some NGO's and Officers had vested interest in keeping the pot boiling for 16 years. It said that it did not find any delay or inaction or any communal mobilization as alleged by the petitioner.
