<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
NEW DELHI, FEB. 25. The Congress today indicated that it would try and ensure that ``that a government is not formed by or with the support of communal forces'' in Uttar Pradesh. It also made it clear that it was willing to put the past behind it in the context of its support to the Samajwadi Party. ``We don't want to be a prisoner of the past,'' said the party spokesperson, Jaipal Reddy.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
The consensus at last night's informal CWC meeting appeared to be that given the arithmetic, it was unlikely that the Samajwadi Party would be able to muster the required number to cross the majority mark of 202.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
The Congress also preferred to wait and watch how the situation developed on the BSP-BJP front as well as Mulayam Singh Yadav's attempts to muster the required numbers. It sought to cover its flanks by making it clear that it would not come in the way of a secular group forming the government, provided the numbers added up.</div>

<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
While the party was unwilling to comment on how a government would be formed in the State - ``that is the task of the Governor'' - there was a definite view and hope that any government formed by the Samajwadi Party leader, Mulayam Singh Yadav, would not last a full term. To begin with, Mr. Yadav would have to engineer some defections. Then he would have to deal with the Vishwa Hindu Parishad ``plan'' to flood the State with ``kar sevaks'' for building a Ram temple in Ayodhya.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
The party's strategy also depends on the Governor, Vishnu Kant Shastri, delaying an invitation to Mr. Yadav to form the government.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
Another worry the BJP is faced with is the possibility of a Mulayam Singh Yadav-led government re-issuing the Babri demolition-related notification to correct the technical flaw that has prevented the courts from framing charges against the Union Ministers, L.K. Advani, M.M. Joshi and Uma Bharti. But even if the worst happens, the BJP could try to make a virtue of this and reclaim the Ram temple issue.</div>

<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
AHMEDABAD, FEB. 24. The Gujarat Chief Minister, Narendra Modi, won the Rajkot-II Assembly seat but could not save the ruling BJP from the blushes, as it lost the other two seats to the Congress, the byelections for which were held on February 21. The three seats were earlier held by the BJP.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
While Mr. Modi won with a margin of 14,728 votes, the Congress secured the Sayajiganj seat in Baroda city and Mahuva in Surat from the BJP with margins of 22,543 and 12,695 votes respectively. The former BJP Minister, Jaspal Singh, who resigned from the party and the Assembly and caused the Sayajiganj byelection, contested as a Samajwadi Party nominee, but lost his deposit.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
Mr. Modi's victory will spare Gujarat of a possible political upheaval, but the margin which was just about half of the over 27,000 plus votes with which the BJP had won the seat in the 1998 elections, and the loss of the two other seats to the Congress would be a matter of concern for the ruling party. The party's defeat in Sayajiganj and Mahuva also indicate that the change of leadership effected by the BJP high command four months ago has not yet helped in reversing the anti-BJP sentiments.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
The Congress, after its overwhelming victories in the district, taluka panchayats and municipal corporations in September, 2000, and in the Sabarkantha parliamentary and Sabarmati Assembly byelections last year, is in an upbeat mood.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
The BJP celebrated Mr. Modi's win by taking out processions both in Rajkot and at the party's State headquarters here.</div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">The results have demonstrated total polarisation of votes in favour of the BJP and the Congress, as all the remaining 32 candidates in the three constituencies, including the nominees of the Nationalist Congress Party, the Samajwadi Party and the independents fared badly and all lost their deposits.</span><br />

<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
The election brought almost a rout of the Bharatiya Janata Party which lost the number one position in the State's politics to the Samajwadi Party. The BJP and its allies together were expecting to get 110 seats in a house of 403. The Samajwadi Party, with a leading position in nearly 150 constituencies has emerged at the top but was yet far away from a clear majority.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
The most surprising aspect of the election was, however, the unexpected gains for the Bahujan Samaj Party which was leading in nearly 95 constituencies as the situation emerged this evening.</div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">The Congress was leading in about 25 constituencies and others in nearly 30 constituencies as last results came in.</span><br />

<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
NEW DELHI, FEB. 24. The Bharatiya Janata Party leadership was today counting its electoral losses and getting ready to do some stocktaking at the parliamentary board meeting scheduled for tomorrow evening. Party leaders also gathered informally at the residence of the Prime Minister, Atal Behari Vajpayee, this evening, but that was more like a condolence meeting.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
The comment by the party president, Jana Krishnamurthi, said it all: ``We respect the people's verdict.'' Tomorrow the BJP leaders will again meet at Mr. Vajpayee's residence where they may be joined by some of the State leaders. A re-scheduled meeting of National Democratic Alliance leaders will also take place at Mr. Vajpayee's residence late tomorrow evening to discuss the poll outcome and prepare for the stormy budget session ahead.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
In Uttar Pradesh, where the emergence of the Samajwadi Party as the front-runner seemed certain, the BJP's public stance was that it will not try to form a hotch-potch government as that would erode whatever was left of the party's base by the time Lok Sabha elections are held two years from now.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
The view gaining ground is that the party should sit in the Opposition. The wider than expected gap between the Samajwadi Party's numbers and those of the BJP alliance has led the party to reconcile to a ``first invitation'' from the Governor to the SP leader, Mulayam Singh Yadav. But the BJP is banking on the SP being unable to form a government, even with the support of the Congress.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
Senior party leaders here are convinced that the State may be heading for President's rule. But that does not at all rule out the possibility of the party trying to form a government with the Bahujan Samaj Party at a later date, after the SP is unable to convert its ``first chance'' into a government.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
Senior leaders in the party and the Government have indicated that the BJP was not about to jump to support a BSP Government of Ms. Mayawati. ``If she is willing to do business she should contact us and come up with a formula, but as of now our view is that the Chief Minister, Rajnath Singh, should either get the Chief Minister's position or that of the Leader of the Opposition.''</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
By late afternoon it had become clear that the BJP was faced with a debacle everywhere. Even in Gujarat, virtually its only surviving major State Government, the party won only the seat contested by the Chief Minister, Narendra Modi, but lost the other two byelections to the Congress.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
The victory of the Congress in Punjab has come as no surprise to the BJP, but what has hurt it is that despite a high profile campaign by the Prime Minister and the Union Home Minister it was able to win only three Assembly segments against the 22 contested and 17 seats held in the last Assembly.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
In Uttaranchal its last minute gamble of changing its Chief Minister has not helped, although it may have cut down the margin of the Congress victory. The one-year BJP rule has only helped the Congress to emerge as a major force.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
The trends from Manipur also indicate that the party has been cut to size where not so long ago it had destabilised a government headed by its partner, the Samata Party, and had even asserted that it would try and form a government with the help of defections. The Home Ministry's `Naga ceasefire accord' had finished whatever political ground the party may have covered.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
As for Uttar Pradesh, despite nearly a dozen allies, it was fighting with the BSP for the second place - the party's own strength could end up just about a few seats more or less than the BSP's tally.</div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">Party leaders are now admitting that it was a big mistake not to have replaced Ram Prakash Gupta with Rajnath Singh as Chief Minister much earlier. Party leaders are crediting Mr. Singh with preventing a humiliating rout with less than 50 seats.</span><br />

VIJAYAWADA, FEB. 24. In a surprise development, the Defence Minister, George Fernandes, air-dashed to Gannavaram airport here today and closeted with the Kanchi seer, Jayendra Saraswati, for 40 minutes. The details of the meeting were not known.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
The Kanchi swami came by special aircraft from Salem to Gannavaram airport and went to Guntur by road for Vigrahapratisha in a temple there tomorrow.</div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">The Defence Minister who was going from Delhi to Chennai to attend the marriage of the grandson of the former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, M. Karunanidhi, tomorrow broke his journey at Gannavaram half-an-hour before the arrival of swami's flight. After the swami arrived they both went into the VIP lounge and spent 40 minutes even as a few devotees like Maganti Subramanyam, T.V.A.S. Sarma, G.S. Raju and G. Ganga Raju waited outside curiously. The swami later came out, blessed the waiting devotees and went to Guntur by road. Asked for a message for Vijayawada, the swami smiled and said ``My arrival itself is a message''. Later, Mr. Fernandes left for Chennai by his special flight.</span><br />

AYODHYA, FEB. 24. Lallu Singh, former Uttar Pradesh Power Minister and MLA for Ayodhya has retained his seat. But in Karsevakpuram, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad's sanitised compound, this made no impact. Here all talk is of a Ram temple. And Mr. Singh's victory, according to locals, had nothing to do with the VHP's Ram temple campaign and everything to do with the improved power situation in the constituency.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
The VHP's top leadership was gathered here for the Ram nam purna ahuti yajna, and the de facto commencement of the build-up to the March 15 deadline for the construction of the temple, announced during its Chetavani Yatra last month. Against the sound of chanting amplified on a public address system, the VHP's Ashok Singhal repeated his organisation's determination to proceed with the construction on that date.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
Mr. Singhal, said that the VHP was asking for the return of ``undisputed land'' and that the ``Supreme Court has said should this be returned to its original owners''. Mr. Singhal said there was no confusion on the issue, but that the Prime Minister was ``creating confusion in this matter...when we are not talking about the disputed land...why is he talking about it...unless he expects some political profit from it?''</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
Sant Paramhans, head of the Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas, known for his dramatic threats said that he did not want ``violence or anything that could result in the fall of the Vajpayee's Government'' since he could not see a better alternative to it.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
He however added forcefully that carved pillars for the temple, currently in the workshop near Karsevakpuram, would be taken to the construction site on March 15 and that ``...if sadhus and sants are arrested the Government will fall''.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
As the sant and Mr. Singhal thundered at the gathered presspersons, some few hundred Bajrang Dal activists in their trademark saffron bandanas and a larger number of elderly women from Andhra Pradesh, North Bihar and Gwalior sat in the blazing sun waiting their turn to add their offering to the yajna fire. They were part of the VHP-estimated 10,000 people who are the start of what is effectively a relay - with the same number arriving and leaving everyday - of pilgrims, Ramsevaks and tourists brought to the town by the VHP's regional network until March 15.</div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">The VHP has organised tent accommodation for some 20,000 people. Five kitchens at the site provide them their meals. Their only connection with the town is a one-km. walk from Karsevakpuram to the heavily barricaded site where their hosts hope to build a temple. For all this apparent activity, the strangely silent streets of Ayodhya remain so.</span><br />

<b style="background-color: white; color: #000099; font-family: verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 15px;">Incremental militarism</b></blockquote>
<br /><br />THE UNTENABLE ESCALATION of clearly militaristic strategy by the Prime Minister, Atal Behari Vajpayee, and his `brains trust' is pushing India inexorably towards a qualitatively new crisis in its dangerously estranged relationship with Pakistan. It is indeed amazing that New Delhi hardly cites a convincing reason why it cannot take steps that could de-escalate the current tensions. The Vajpayee administration has consistently ignored all sensible calls for a pullback of the Indian military units which were deployed within striking distance of Pakistan in the context of the heinous terrorist attack on Parliament House in New Delhi on December 13. Not only that. The Prime Minister's growing penchant for polemical anti-Pakistan rhetoric has only managed to scale up the temperature on the bilateral front without actually advancing India's anti-terror cause. The forward-deployment of India's military personnel and assets along the border with Pakistan was portrayed as the prime element of pressure-diplomacy. If the political logic of that deployment in a strike-threatening formation was to unnerve Islamabad, the Pakistan President, Pervez Musharraf, appears to have neatly turned the tables on New Delhi. Gen. Musharraf has banned two key Pakistan-based terrorist organisations — the Jaish-e-Mohammad and the Lashkar-e-Taiba, both `jehadi' outfits — which were implicated in the attack on India's Parliament. Now, Gen. Musharraf argues that his action has had nothing to do with any external pressure (from either the U.S. or India) and that he has acted solely in Pakistan's own enlightened self-interest. New Delhi itself does not openly acknowledge the ban on the two networks as a beneficial spin-off effect of its ``coercive diplomacy''. Is it not unwise of India to disregard the ban and portray it as a dubious step or as a matter of peripheral implications?<br /><br />Mr. Vajpayee has indeed locked himself in a posture of incremental militarism by ratcheting up his rhetoric and by appearing to take little note of the dangerous drift implicit in a fierce standoff on the India-Pakistan frontier. He has voiced some dark hints about New Delhi's own capabilities to foment ``internal trouble'' for Pakistan even while asserting that any interference of this order in the domestic affairs of Pakistan ``is not our policy, not our style''. Yet, the overall militant language, even if devoid of any intended policy thrust, is patently absurd on two major counts. First, India may now become a focal point of the needless attention of some terror-watch activists on the international stage. Second, the Prime Minister's political bluster will further fracture India's already fragile relationship with Pakistan.<br /><br />Having failed to draw up a meaningful exit strategy even at the time of massing India's troops on the border with Pakistan - a step that prompted Islamabad to act in a similar fashion - the Vajpayee administration now finds itself at odds with serious international opinion. New Delhi's ostensible strategic purpose and political objective were to induce Pakistan to extradite or deport 20 identified terrorists/criminals and to end cross-border terrorism that has been of deep concern to India. Of these, cross-border terrorism is an issue that can only be monitored over a relatively long timeframe, while Gen. Musharraf is now reported to have offered to discuss the 20 names as part of a renewable India-Pakistan dialogue on a range of issues. If New Delhi's plan all along has been to avoid a war with Pakistan despite the forward-deployment, it is high time for de-escalation. There is no place for simplistic assertions of the kind being made by the Defence Minister, George Fernandes, that India can easily cope with the uncertainties on the border.------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />

<div i18n-values=".innerHTML:moreInfo1" style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
When you connect to a secure website, the server hosting that site presents your browser with something called a "certificate" to verify its identity. This certificate contains identity information, such as the address of the website, which is verified by a third party that your computer trusts. By checking that the address in the certificate matches the address of the website, it is possible to verify that you are securely communicating with the website you intended, and not a third party (such as an attacker on your network).</div>
<div i18n-values=".innerHTML:moreInfo2" style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
In this case, the address listed in the certificate does not match the address of the website your browser tried to go to. One possible reason for this is that your communications are being intercepted by an attacker who is presenting a certificate for a different website, which would cause a mismatch. Another possible reason is that the server is set up to return the same certificate for multiple websites, including the one you are attempting to visit, even though that certificate is not valid for all of those websites. Google Chrome can say for sure that you reached <strong>niticentral.com</strong>, but cannot verify that that is the same site as <strong>gujaratriots.com</strong> which you intended to reach. If you proceed, Chrome will not check for any further name mismatches</div>

<br />
(a) to (c): National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) in its final report, has observed that there was a failure on the part of the State Government to control the situation. The State Government has, however, not agreed with the above observation and has stated that effective steps were taken to bring the situation under control. The National Minorities Commission has only suggested various steps that should be taken by the Government of Gujarat to provide relief to those affected by the communal riots.<br />
<br />
(d): It is the primary responsibility of the State Government to maintain public order and peace. The Government of India shares intelligence and sends advisories/alert messages to the States/UTs from time to time and also makes available Central Para Military Forces to them on specific request. A special force called the Rapid Action Force is deployed to deal exclusively with the communal tensions. Assistance is also provided to the State Governments for modernization of their policing infrastructure.<br />

<br />
<br />
STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) & (b) OF UNSTARRED QUESTION NO.577 BY SHRI PRAMOD MAHAJAN, SHRI DHARAM PAL SABHARWAL AND SHRI JIBON ROY TO BE ANSWERED IN RAJYA SABHA ON 04.03.2005 REGARDING INTERIM REPORT ON GODHRA INCIDENT<br />
<br />
(a): Yes, Sir.<br />
<br />
(b): The observations of the Banerjee Committee report are as under :-<br />
<br />
(i) The fire on Sabarmati Express on 27th February, 2002 cannot but be ascribed to be an accidental fire which engulfed the coir, the foam and the latex available on berths coupled with the luggage of the passengers causing thereby the smell of burning and thereafter dense smoke culminating into leaping flames and not a deliberate attempted event.<br />
<br />
(ii) There has been a preponderance of evidence that the fire in coach No.S6 originated in the coach itself without any external input.<br />
<br />
(iii) The question of any miscreant activity does not and cannot arise.<br />
<br />
(iv) All is not well with Railway Safety as they should be in their approach in order to avoid any further untoward incident like the present one.<br />
<br />
(v) There has been failure on the part of the Commission of Railway Safety and Railway Administration to conduct a statutory inquiry into this accident.<br />
<br />
(vi) The response of Godhra Fire Brigade was not unsatisfactory.<br />
<br />
(vii)Failure of Government Railway Police has also been adversely commented.<br />
<br />
(viii)Role of Railway Administration has been adversely commented for :-<br />
<br />
(a) Not making any concerted efforts to preserve clues of the incidents.<br />

<br />
(c) Discrepancies in record keeping.<br />
<br />
(d) Not following up the specified practices at the time of railway accident like certification of track and coach fitness.<br />
<br />
(e) Failure of Railway Protection Force (RPF).<br />
<br />
(f) No individual has been held responsible for the incident.<br />

Against the SIT case for closure, Zakia-CJP have a voluminous petition. My two bits sourced entirely from news-reports and articles freely available -<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.indianexpress.com/news/sit-concludes-arguments-against-zakias-petition/1131438/">I<b>ndian Express news report</b></a></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 23px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23px;">
<span style="color: blue;">SIT Counsel R S Jamuar said there were four major allegations of larger conspiracy — failure to declare curfew in time, failure to make preventive arrests, deployment of Army and failure to make effective firing to control the rioting mob.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23px;">
<span style="color: blue;">Jamuar said, "Curfew was imposed on time while 4000 people were rounded up within 72 hours after the riots broke out. Police fired more bullets than tear gas shells and that is the reason 100 people were killed."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23px;">
<span style="color: blue;">About deployment of the Army, Jamuar told the court that accused number-one (Modi) had demanded extra forces from the Centre but it got delayed due to circumstances related to national security.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23px;">
<span style="color: blue;">He added when the state got the nod it airlifted Army personnel to control the 2002 riots. Jamuar concluded that Zakia's complaint didn't have substance as the witnesses Zakia included were based on "hearsay" and "lies".</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23px;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;">He also criticised Zakia for making the case political with the help of NGOs instead of keeping it as a criminal offence. Zakia's lawyer will start arguments on a daily basis from June 26 against SIT's closure report. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #741b47;"><a href="http://www.indianexpress.com/news/sit-concludes-arguments-against-zakias-petition/1131438/" style="background-color: white;">http://www.indianexpress.com/news/sit-concludes-arguments-against-zakias-petition/1131438/</a></span></div>

<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;">Jamuar said, "Curfew was imposed on time while 4000 people were rounded up within 72 hours after the riots broke out.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">However consider the following extract from Shiv Vishvanathan's <a href="http://www.india-seminar.com/2010/605/605_shiv_visvanathan.htm">article</a></span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Violence almost summons knee-jerk the idea of curfew or Section 144. Yet [in Ahmedabad] curfew was not imposed till 1:00 p.m. on the 28th, while the murders had commenced on the 27th evening. One has to ask: Was curfew delayed to allow for the congregation of rioters to facilitate their activities? Was the delay in curfew a ‘collaborative omission giving free hand to rioters?’ Was this also ‘in compliance with the CM’s instructions in the meeting on the 27th evening?’ Ironically, in some of the least communally volatile areas as in Saurashtra, curfew was imposed by 10 p.m. Finally, one has to ask whether the deployment of police was in terms of real time intelligence provide by the special branches in riot-affected districts. The network of documents from station diaries, periodical situation reports, messages to district and state control rooms, instructions to field officers from the DGP need scrutiny. This becomes all the more imperative given the admission by the Joint CP of Ahmedabad city before the Nanavati Commission. Mr. Shivanand Jha admitted that only one Hindu and six Muslims were arrested as a part of preventive action.</span></span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*** </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">The question one has to ask is: Was there a facade of nominalism about the investigation to hide neglect? Consider the background: 54 people arrested in Ahmedabad city on 28 February 2002. None of the people in the list figured in the usual roster of ‘communally-minded’, people generally detained before such disturbances. One has to then ask: Was this a mere statistical display, a logic of clerical numbers assembled to satisfy protest or stem a later inquiry?</span> </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*** </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">Visualize the situation. The violence continued the whole day. Thousands congregated as a mob, yet not one is arrested. In fact, for the following six days not a single arrest was made. Can one conclude that the police gave them an adequate chance to escape?</span><span style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"> </span> </span></blockquote>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px;">
To give a perspective to the claim of Mr Jamuar that 4000 were rounded up within 72 hours after the riots broke out, in Mumbai, during the same period, 8000 VHP/BD activists were rounded up. Also, Jamuar fails to give specific figures for Ahmedabad, clubbing the data with rest of Gujarat's. A comprehensive account of role of police, good and bad is <a href="http://kafila.org/2012/02/27/gujarat-genocide-the-state-law-and-subversion-r-b-sreekumar/">here</a>.<br />

<div class="MsoBodyText2" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: 24px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">17.<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">In this connection, the Commission has made a careful analysis of the pattern of arrests indicated to it by the State Government in its report of 12 April 2002. That report states that a total number of 27,780 arrests had been made, involving both crimes and as preventive detention. The response does not, however, make clear how many arrests, preventive or otherwise, were made in the worst afflicted areas of the State within the first 72 hours of the tragedy in Godhra, nor the community-wise break-up of those arrested in those areas in the immediate aftermath of Godhra, though such data would have enabled a proper scrutiny of the charge of discrimination brought against the State Government in respect of its conduct in the critical hours immediately after the Godhra tragedy and the call for the ‘bandh’. This lack of transparency seriously undermines the response. The report states instead, that, in relation to various offences, 11,167 persons were arrested, of whom 3,269 belonged to the “minority” community and 7,896 to the “majority.” As regards the 16,615 preventive arrests, it mentions that 13,804 belong to the “majority” community and 2,811 to the “minority.” The questions that arise, however, are when and where were the arrests made, who were arrested and for how long were they kept in custody, and were those who were specifically named arrested. The Special Representative of the Commission, Shri Nampoothiri has observed in a report to the Commission dated 24 April 2002 that “almost 90% of those arrested even in heinous offences like murder, arson, etc., have managed to get bailed out almost as soon as they were arrested.” Reports have also appeared in the media that those who have been released on bail were given warm public welcomes by some political leaders. This is in sharp contrast to the assertion made by the State Government in its report of 12 April 2002 that “bail applications of all accused persons are being strongly defended and rejected” (sic).</span></div>

Consider the city of Ahmedabad. On 28th Feb 2002, 40 were killed in police firing, 36 of them muslims. They were fleeing from the mob violence and their names can be found in the Citizen's Tribunal report and they have been sourced from hospitals. It will be interesting to know the details of each and every death in the police firing. The 4 non muslims who were killed in police firing in Ahmedabad on 28th met their end in the <a href="http://archive.tehelka.com/story_main35.asp?filename=Ne031107safehouseofhorrors.asp&page=2">following way</a> --</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">According to the three accused, the police not only gave them a free hand, but also exhorted the rioters to kill Muslims. Mangilal Jain said that the police inspector in-charge of Meghaninagar police station, KG Erda told the rioters that they had three to four hours to carry out killings. TEHELKA found that the police inspector had given this time since extra forces were expected to be in Ahmedabad that evening.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: normal;" />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">Jain said some in the police kept away, indicating to the rioters that they were to do whatever they wished in those few hours. This further fuelled the mob’s frenzy all over Ahmedabad and led to the deaths of many more Muslims.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: normal;" />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">Raju also told TEHELKA that police personnel deployed in the area not only stood back but signalled to the rioters to go for the kill. Erda arrived to “rescue” the survivors after the massacre was almost over. At this point, relates Chawal, the rioters approached Erda and told him he was not doing the right thing as the survivors could testify against them. So Erda came up with a heinous plan — as the van carrying the survivors drew away from Gulbarg, the rioters were to pelt stones at it so the constable on the vehicle could claim to have been scared off. He would flee and the mob could then torch it. But the plan could not be executed because of the timely intervention of a Muslim inspector called Pathan, Chawal said.</span></blockquote>

What did the then president Mr K R Narayanan have to<a href="http://www.rediff.com/news/2005/mar/07inter1.htm"> say</a> about the deployment of the army?</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif, FreeSans; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
There was governmental and administrative support for the communal riots in Gujarat. I gave several letters to Prime Minister Vajpayee in this regard on this issue. I met him personally and talked to him directly. But Vajpayee did not do anything effective.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif, FreeSans; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
I requested him to send the army to Gujarat and suppress the riots. The Centre had the Constitutional responsibility and powers to send the military if the state governments asked. The military was sent, but they were not given powers to shoot. If the military was given powers to shoot at the perpetrators of violence, recurrence of tragedies in Gujarat could have been avoided.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif, FreeSans; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
However, both the state and central government did not do so. Had the military been given powers to shoot, the carnage in Gujarat could have been avoided to a great extent. I feel there was a conspiracy involving the state and central governments behind the Gujarat riots.</div>

To avoid this, the army later responded directly to public calls of distress ignoring the local police in the later period of the riots. Incidentally, {Zameeruddin] is the brother of the famous actor, Nasiruddin Shah. Witnesses feel that the assumption or the cloak of immaculate innocence around top officers has to be challenged. Individuals like Ashok Narayan, ACS, and DGP K. Chakravarty have to be interrogated. To pretend they are part of a silent film is no longer acceptable. Truth telling has to be a public act open to public scrutiny.</span> </span></blockquote>

Satish Verma: Tough cop dug up Ishrat case truth against all odds</h1>

<b>Verma, who is also the joint commissioner of police (traffic), told the HC at the very beginning that the encounter was not genuine and that a fresh FIR should be filed against the guilty policemen.</b></div>
</div>
<br />
<br />
His face does not betray his emotions. He does not speak a word before the media. He just does his work silently and with such thoroughness that, in the Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case, more than 20 policemen are in a state of panic because of his work.<br />
<br />
The man we are talking about is IPS officer Satish Verma, a member of the special investigation team (SIT) constituted by the Gujarat high court to investigate the Ishrat Jahan encounter case.<br />
<br />
It was Verma who told the high court at the very beginning of the probe that the encounter was not genuine and that a fresh FIR should be filed against the guilty policemen. He finally found out the truth despite the hurdles put in his way initially by some of his own colleagues in the SIT.<br />
<br />
Even among the police fraternity, Satish Verma, who is also joint commissioner of police (traffic), is considered a very tough officer.<br />
<br />
He was the choice of the lawyers representing the victims, Ishrat and Javed, for member of SIT. The two other members - IPS officers RR Verma and Mohan Jha - were appointed by the Gujarat high court on the recommendation of the central and state governments, respectively.<br />
<br />
Verma, who was earlier instrumental in checking the mafia rule in Porbandar of the late godmother, Santokben Jadeja, smelt a rat in the police account of the Ishrat encounter. He bluntly told the high court that he doubted the genuineness of the encounter. This led to his confrontation with his own colleagues in the probe team- former SIT chairman Karnal Singh and Gujarat-cadre IPS officer, Mohan Jha.<br />
<br />
Sources said that though the high court had appointed a three-member SIT, it was Verma who actually dug up the truth single-handedly using his own network. A couple of witnesses belonging to the lower ranks of the police spilled the beans before Verma and confirmed that the Ishrat encounter was not genuine.<br />
<br />
However, the two other members of the SIT were not in agreement with him. They wanted more investigation and even accused Verma of non-cooperation. Their differences came out in the open before the high court but Verma stuck to his stand. Not only that, he filed an affidavit before the court saying that the encounter was not genuine and that a fresh FIR should be filed against the involved policemen.<br />
<br />
Sources said that Verma's tough stand put Karnal Singh, a joint commissioner of Delhi police, in an embarrassing position and he quit after he was transferred to Mizoram. Verma faced more hurdles when, in a midnight raid, he seized some vital forensic evidence related to the case from the state-run Forensic Science Laboratory. This led to one of the FSL officials lodging a complaint against him.<br />
<br />
The tough police officer did not bow even when a couple of witnesses accused him of harassment. Sources in the SIT said that Satish Verma proved very helpful to chairman RR Verma in finding out the truth about the encounter.<br />
<br />
It was Satish Verma's expertise in scientific and medical evidence which helped his team build up the sequence of events that had led to the encounter in which Ishrat Jahan and three others were killed by some trigger-happy policemen of the crime branch.<br />

<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />AHMEDABAD: The Gujarat high court on Thursday extended the stay on probe till June 12, in the case of alleged custodial deaths in Porbandar. Supreme Court had stayed the investigation on this issue after senior IPS officer Satish Verma requested to recall the order for fresh probe.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">In his petition filed through advocate I H Syed, Verma has sought recall of April 18, 2012, order for fresh probe into the alleged custodial deaths on the ground that the investigation was already conducted earlier at the HC's order in 1998.</span></div>

<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">Verma has submitted documents and information showing that then IG of CID (crime) Hiralal investigated the issue and submitted his report before the high court. The cop has even supplied documents showing entry of the report in registry. Verma also submitted the documents showing that the local court in Porbandar had actually initiated proceedings on the closure report filed after the probe.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">The documents in form of probe report were found missing from the HC last year and the court even set up an inquiry into it. Verma has claimed in his petition that non-availability of documents or rather these documents went missing from the court did not mean that the investigation had not happened. And when the HC order passed in 1998 for probe was duly complied with, there is no question of ordering a probe again.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">Justice S R Brahmbhatt has extended the stay on the probe by ADGP (law & order) till further hearing.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">Verma was posted as SP at Porbandar, when the incidents of alleged custodial death were reported in 1996-97. Jasu Gagan Shial and Aher Ranmal Ram were killed in police encounters, while Aher Narayan Jesti Bandhiya was found hanging on a tree beside a police station. He was on police remand then.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">The HC ordered fresh probe on a petition filed by Shial's brother stating that probe was not conducted properly in 1998. He filed petition after Verma was included in the SIT to probe the Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case.</span></div>

<div style="font-size: 0.9rem;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">Satish Verma, the straight forward IPS officer who played an important role in the probe of Ishrat Jahan encounter case, will remain a danger to the accused in the case. Verma's name for SIT had been suggested by the families of the victims.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 0.9rem;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">Verma, currently posted as the joint commissioner of police in the traffic department of Ahmedabad city police, has been given the clear mandate by the high court to help the CBI in its investigations whenever needed.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 0.9rem;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">The high court in its order on Thursday said that the state government will have to relieve Verma as and when he is required by the CBI in the investigations.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 0.9rem;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">Unlike Mohan Jha and RR Verma who had shown their unwillingness to continue to be on SIT, Satish Verma had said that he would like to continue with the probe. Sources close to the development of Ishrat case said that Satish Verma had collected many evidences and corroborated them in such a manner that this will leave little chances for any of the accused to escape.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 0.9rem;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">Verma had not only found the witnesses to the incident which occurred way back in 2004, but he also recorded their fresh statements and corroborated these statements with the facts of the case.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 0.9rem;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">His investigation is going to create problems for the accused. "If CBI calls him, he could prove danger for the accused of the case as he has been very thorough in the investigation so far," a source said.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 0.9rem;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">Verma is among the key investigators in the Special Investigation Team (SIT) formed by Gujarat High Court to investigate the Ishrat Jahan encounter</span></div>

<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>The Gujarat High Court on Thursday handed over further investigation into the Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case to the CBI and asked the Special Investigation Team (SIT) to register a fresh FIR incorporating its findings so far.<br />A division bench of the high court comprising Justice Jayant Patel and Justice Abhilasha Kumari said the present chief of the SIT RR Verma should register a fresh FIR in the case with the appropriate CBI office within two weeks following which the central probe agency would begin the investigation.<br />The high court said the CBI team for further probe should be assisted by Gujarat cadre IPS officer Satish Verma, the sole member of the three-member SIT who was willing to continue with the probe. The Gujarat Government has been asked to spare Satish Verma to assist the CBI.<br />The SIT was also ordered to hand over all records to the CBI team and report to the high court about it. The SIT would be dissolved only after this process is completed, the bench ruled.<br />Ishrat's mother Shamima Kausar and Javed's father Gopinath Pillai had dubbed the encounter as fake and asked the court to have the killings investigated. The high court-appointed SIT last week concluded that the encounter was not genuine, following which the further investigation into the encounter was being ordered.<br />The division bench also snubbed the Centre for its stand that the CBI cannot take up the further probe as it is already overburdened and understaffed.<br />Rejecting the Centre's plea, the high court ordered the Union Government to arrange officers from other cadre on deputation to constitute the new probe team. "It is the bounden duty of the Centre to provide adequate manpower to the CBI", the high court observed.<br />The CBI team for further probe should be headed by an officer not below the rank of DIG, the court said. Further investigation would include the veracity of the claim of the Gujarat Police that the four killed were Lashkar-e-Tayyeba operatives who were on a mission to kill the Chief Minister, the court said.<br />Pronouncing the judgement, the division bench rejected the demand that the National Investigation Agency (NIA) should conduct the further probe as it is not mandated for such cases. The high court ruling said that the NIA has no competence or jurisdiction to undertake such probes.<br />"If Parliament has not conferred any power on the NIA (to probe encounters), this court cannot ask it to do so", the division bench observed.<br />The demand for further probe to be conducted by the same SIT was also rejected as two of the three IPS officers constituting the probe team have objected to the idea.<br />The Gujarat Government's demand for a State agency to conduct the further probe was also rejected as the court felt that it would not have any credibility among the victims' families.</span></span><br />

High Court takes exception to State’s stance on IPS officer Satish Verma</span></h2>
</div>
<div class="body" style="outline: none;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">The Gujarat High Court on Friday pulled up the State government for “shielding, protecting and siding with police officials” accused in the Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case.</span></div>
<div class="body" style="outline: none;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">A Division Bench — which comprised Justice Jayant Patel and Justice Abhilasha Kumari — observed that the Special Investigation Team earlier alleged interference on the part of the State while the CBI report left no doubt that the State government was shielding the accused cops.</span></div>
<div class="body" style="outline: none;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">A CBI court recently issued an arrest warrant against Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) P.P. Pandey. The CBI is looking for him.</span></div>
<div class="body" style="outline: none;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">The court also took exception to the State government’s stance on senior IPS officer Satish Verma, who was assisting the Central agency in the case. While the court had asked the CBI to continue availing itself of Mr. Verma’s services to nab the other accused, the State sought Mr. Verma’s services for law and order.</span></div>
<div class="body" style="outline: none;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">It was Mr. Verma who had called the encounter a cold-blooded murder in sharp contrast to his police colleagues. He was part of the SIT.</span></div>

<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">AHMEDABAD: The Gujarat high court on Friday slammed the state government for protecting the accused cops in the Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case. The division bench of justice Jayant Patel and justice Abhilasha Kumari also extended till June 14 IPS officer Satish Verma's term as part of the CBI team investigating the case.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">During the hearing, CBI counsel Ejaz Khan submitted that the state government had created obstruction in the probe and requested Verma's assistance till June 30. "We are fighting against the system... There is trust deficit since all of us (in the probe team) are from outside Gujarat," the lawyer argued.</span></div>

<div class="mod-timesofindiaarticletextwithadcpc mod-timesofindiaarticletext mod-articletext" id="mod-a-body-after-first-para" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px 10px 0px 0px; text-align: start;">

<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">Government pleader Prakash Jani opposed the request for extension to Verma and objected to the allegations of Gujarat officers influencing the probe.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">Justice Patel told the prosecutor, "It has come on record even when the SIT was probing the case, officers involved in conspiracy were being sided with. They are shielded and protected. The state government is supposed to remain impartial and not to side with the accused... The state has no group and it must help finding out the culprits and punish them."</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">The CBI insisted on Verma's extension by submitting that his role was 'vital' in investigation and he will go to north India to probe into the identity of two of Ishrat's companions - Amjad Ali Rana and Zeeshan Johar - who were alleged to have crossed over from Pakistan to Kashmir. The CBI counsel also submitted that Verma's presence was needed to investigate the issue of weapons found on the dead bodies after the alleged shootout on June 15, 2004 in which Ishrat and her three companions were killed on the outskirts of Ahmedabad.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">The court and the state government proposed that Verma be spared by the government for the investigation as and when needed, but the CBI cited the issue of confidentiality. Justice Kumari also commented, "Investigation of this kind needs secrecy, for some of the accused cops are as experienced in investigation as him (Verma)".</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">The bench added, "Some of the accused are still to be identified, and only Verma can identify them. Without his presence, the investigation will be damaged."</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">The court asked the probe agency to file another progress report on June 13.</span></div>

IIC Annexe, India International Centre between 2 pm to 5 pm on Tuesday, May 7, 2013 to participate in such a discussion.<br />The filing of the Zakia Jafri Protest Petition before the Magistrate on 15 April 2013 is a significant landmark in the sustained battle for the Rule of Law, Constitutional Governance and against communal forces and their vicious mobilisation within organs of the state and through unholy alliances with non-state actors. The petition, filed after a sustained battle to get a fair and transparent investigation against a chief minister, cabinet colleagues, senior administrators, policemen and front men and women of the RSS, VHP and Bajrang Dal will now make a strong case for charge sheeting of 59 accused.<br />Apart from the individual accused involved in this case, against whom a strong case for criminal culpability and administrative connivance and failure has been made out, the wider issues raised are critical to understand. Communal mobilisation precedes violence. It’s transformation into brute attacks against targeted sections of the population remain fundamental threats to the lasting security of all Indians, communal harmony and the secularisation of the Indian polity.<br />We believe therefore the wider issues raised through the Zakia Jafri Protest Petition are debated widely to ensure a greater understanding of such mobilisation and to build a resistance to the same in future. Only then can we collectively demand a transparent and accountable system of governance from our representatives and the parties that they represent.<br />We look forward to such a sustained discussion and your participation.<br /><br />" In all probability Mrs Zakia Jafri and son Tanvir Jafri will also be present for the discussions.

The state intelligence records available to the state government and administration reveal that there was a systematic build up of aggressive communal mobilisation, hate speech etc even prior to February 27, 2003.These details are available in textual and tabular form in the Protest Petition.<b style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </b>These provide significant pointers to the workings and operations of the State Intelligence Bureau (SIB) that is sending out warnings and the police administration, home ministry (headed by the chief minister) that is systematically ignoring them.

In fact the Amicus Curiae in the case Advocate Raju Ramachandran has himself recommended prosecution against the chief minister for violation of the law on hate speech. The Protest Petition deals at length on the deleterious impact of hate speech and hate writing and the inaction of the state government. The chief minister had in fact sent congratulatory letters to those Gujarati newspapers that had indulged in such incendiary writing and excluded from praise at least three publications (Prabhat and <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gujarat_Today" rel="wikipedia" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #b91313; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank" title="Gujarat Today">Gujarat Today</a>) that had been responsible in reportage (Editor’s Guild Report).. <i style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Reference at Paras 126-153at Pages 72-85 of the Protest Petition & Para 234 at Page 116 of the Protest Petition</i></div>

Quite apart from the infamous meeting on the night of February 27, 2002 about which facts have to be tested – through examination and cross-examination of witnesses during trial — the administration’s lackluster response to protection of lives and maintenance of peace following the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=22.777266,73.620253&spn=0.1,0.1&q=22.777266,73.620253%20(Godhra)&t=h" rel="geolocation" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #b91313; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank" title="Godhra">Godhra tragedy</a> is itself a testimony to a conspiracy in evidence.

The SIT has not thoroughly probed the deployment of army and paramilitary and not even examined independent witnesses like the Major in charge of Army Operations and KPS Gill sent in by the Centre.</div>

Repeated PCR messages, that the home department under <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.narendramodi.in/" rel="homepage" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #b91313; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank" title="Narendra Modi">Narendra Modi</a> (A-1, who held the home portfolio) and PC Pande (A-21) were trying to conceal, show that both in Ahmedabad and in several locations all over Gujarat crowds were mobilized to aggressively parade bodies with bloodthirsty sloganeering, inciting mobs to attack innocent Muslims. The then joint police commissioner, Ahmedabad, Shivanand Jha, also an accused in the complaint (A-38), was jurisdictionally in charge of Sola Civil Hospital in Zone 1. As the messages extracted in the Protest Petition at<i style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Para 559 at Pages 244-247 of the Protest Petition</i> show, repeated PCR messages desperately ask for bandobast; they speak of the staff and doctors of the hospital being under threat; of a 5,000-6,000 strong mob accompanying the bodies and finally one message also says that “riots have broken out.”</div>

Yet the entire Home department under the chief minister and senior bureaucrats and policemen who had been neutralised including Chakravarti (A-25) and PC Pande (A-29) in collaboration with the SIT have strived hard to conceal this evidence. While such aggressive funeral processions were allowed in Ahmedabad, an equally explosive situation prevailed simultaneously in Khedbrahma, Vadodara, Modasa, Dahod, Anand etc. The PCR records, also reveal that while the Ahmedabad police under PC Pande and the home department under Modi and then MOS, home Gordhan Zadaphiya (A-5) had enough forces to escort a VHP leader known for his inciteful slogans, Acharya Giriraj Kishore, from the airport to the Sola Civil hospital to accompany the processionists, shouting filthy hate speeches and murderous slogans. But they did not have enough forces to send to Naroda Patiya where 96 persons were massacred in broad daylight, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. over several hours (according to the charge-sheet though actual figures may be higher). Similarly the daylight massacre of 69 persons at Gulberg society the same day was permitted by a callous administration (PC Pande did not step out of his office barely 1-2 kms away from Naroda and Gulberg; besides he was in close touch with the chief minister’s office (CMO) between 12 noon and 3.40 p.m. that coincided with the height of the violence. Modi allowing and openly supporting the bandh and neutralising his administration, decided to give the RSS, VHP, BD mobs a free run of the Gujarat streets to massacre innocents.</div>

At 1:51 hours and again at 1:59 hours (early morning ) on the February 28, 2002, there were panic messages by wireless police vans positioned at Sola Hospital demanding immediate protection from Special Reserve Police platoons and the presence of DCP Zone 1.Message at 2:44 hours on 28.2.2002: the motor cavalcade has reached Sola Civil Hospital.<b style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Page No. 5790 of Annexure IV, File XIV reveals that at 04:00 am </b>a mob comprising of 3,000 swayamsevaks, that is the members of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), had already gathered at the Civil Sola Hospital.

Throughout February 28, 2002 while fires were set all over Ahmedabad city, PCR records show that repeated calls from different areas to the Fire Brigade drew went answered.

The Protest Petition also makes a systematic study of those districts where violence <i style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">did not break out largely because of the men and women at the helm who refused to abet the wider conspiracy. </i>For an effective understanding of whether the widespread and brutal and systemic violence in 14 of Gujarat’s 29 districts and commissionerates was on account of a pre-planned and systematic neutralistion of the preventive and protective Constitutional mechanisms, the SIT ought to have undertaken just such an exercise. Instead it willfully concealed from the Supreme Court of India the wealth of documentary evidence collected through the SIB (January 2010) and the PCR records of Ahmedabad city (post March 15 2011). Similar PCR data of other parts of Gujarat was deliberately not collected by the SIT.</div>

The role of whistleblower policemen and administrators through the investigations and the past eleven and a half years has been significant. The affidavits and phone call CDs submitted by then SP Bhavnagar and DCP Crime Rahul Sharma have been critical. Today he is being consistently targeted with one chrage sheet and six notices being served on him. Former DGP RB Sreekumar who’s first four affidavits before the Nanavati- Shah Commission provided a thorough documentation of the functionings of the government at the time was also similarly victimised. Lastly Sanjiv Bhatt has also been targeted. Interestingly the evidence of all three whistleblowers has been given little credence by the SIT except when they in small measure support one or the other of SIT’s claims.</div>

On May 1, 2013 the Magistrate that had heard the SIT arguments for six days since April 24, 2013, was transferred. By May 15, 2013, when the next Magistrate takes over, the day to day hearings in this matter are likely to resume.</div>

In July last, the NHRC had taken <i>suo motu</i> cognisance of the manner of arrest of Mr. Karunanidhi and called for a report from the Tamil Nadu Government.

<br />
<br />
NEW DELHI, Feb. 18: The Centre has told the Supreme Court that it was willing to have crucial cases of communal carnage in Gujarat in 2002 probed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and have them tried outside the state. "The Central government submits it would have no objection to the investigation of the cases by the CBI and transfer outside the state of Gujarat, if so desired by this court," the home ministry told the SC in an affidavit filed last week.<br />
The affidavit was filed days before the hearing slated Tuesday of a bunch of petitions, including those by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and several other public interest lawsuits, seeking a CBI probe into various cases of state-wide communal violence in the wake of a train carnage in Godhra in February 2002. Besides seeking a CBI probe into various cases, the petitions have sought transfer of the trials of some of the cases outside the state. In state-wide violence following the train carnage, at least 1,000 people had died, majority of them from the Muslim community, as the Narendra Modi government was widely criticised for alleged biased handling of the situation.<br />
The cases for which the lawsuits by the NHRC and others have sought a CBI probe included those that took place in Godhra, Ahmedabad's Gulbarga Society, Naroda Patiya, Vadodara's Best Bakery, Baranpura, Machipith, Tarsali, Raghovpura and Pandarwada.<br />
The home ministry in its affidavit quoted the NHRC's finding which said: "There is no doubt in the opinion of this Commission that there was a comprehensive failure on the part of the state government to control the persistent violation of the rights to life, liberty, equality and dignity of the people of the state. "The NHRC has urged that "the critical cases be entrusted to the CBI and that the central government ensure that this is done," reads the affidavit. The home ministry also quoted the NHRC as saying that "in its view, the trials of the cases mentioned in the petition are not likely to take place in a free and fair atmosphere within Gujarat." Expressing its willingness for the transfer of the trial of some cases, the ministry in its affidavit also quoted Mr Justice Arijit Pasayat's April 2004 ruling in the Best Bakery case, in which 14 people had been burnt alive. Mr Justice Pasayat had pointed out several shortcomings on the part of the Gujarat government in conducting the trial of various cases there. Quoting Mr Justice Pasayat's ruling, the ministry said the SC itself had "identified serious deficiencies in the manner the case had been investigated and also the manner in which the proceedings in that case had been conducted in the trial court and in the high court".<br />

<div class="body" style="outline: none;">
New Delhi: The Centre has asked the Supreme Court to direct the Central Bureau of Investigation to conduct a fresh probe into the Godhra carnage and post-Godhra riots and transfer all cases outside Gujarat to ensure a fair trial.</div>
<div class="body" style="outline: none;">
After the Godhra train carnage on February 27, 2002, Gujarat witnessed large-scale communal violence in which hundreds of people were killed. Acting on petitions from the National Human Rights Commission and other human rights activists, the apex court in November 2003 stayed trial in the cases. The matter comes up for further hearing on Tuesday.</div>
<div class="body" style="outline: none;">
The petitioners sought re-investigation by the CBI and transfer of trial in all major cases — Godhra, Gulbarg Society, Naroda Patiya, Baranpura, Machipith, Tarsali, Pandarwada and Raghovpura — outside Gujarat, expressing a fear of miscarriage of justice if the cases were held in the State.</div>
<div class="body" style="outline: none;">
In its affidavit on Monday, the Centre said, “The main allegations are: in many of the cases, police officials themselves are the perpetrators of the crimes; in most cases the victims have complained of police complicity and inaction; in a number of cases the police have refused to register FIRs or registered faulty FIRs; and generally the conduct of the police has been such as not to inspire confidence.”</div>

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday directed the Gujarat government to set up a special investigation team (SIT) for a further probe into 14 Godhra and post-Godhra communal riots cases in 2002.</div>
<div class="body" style="outline: none;">
The investigation will also cover the case of torching of the Sabarmati express train on February 27, 2002.</div>
<div class="body" style="outline: none;">
“We feel that considering the sensitive nature of the cases involved, appointment of a SIT is warranted,” said a Bench comprising Justices Arijit Pasayat, P. Sathasivam and Aftab Alam. It directed the Gujarat government to notify the constitution of the SIT in 10 days.</div>
<div class="body" style="outline: none;">
The Bench said: “Communal harmony is the hallmark of democracy. No religion teaches hatred. If in the name of religion, people are liquidated it is essentially a slur and blot on society governed by the Constitution of India which in its Preamble refers to secularism.”</div>
<div class="body" style="outline: none;">
After hearing amicus curiae Harish Salve and senior counsel for Gujarat Mukul Rohatgi, it said: “Religious fanatics really do not belong to any religion. They are worse than terrorists. These are cases where there is an element of communal disharmony which is not to be countenanced.” The object of the criminal justice system was that a person who was found guilty of an offence should be punished.</div>
<div class="body" style="outline: none;">
<b style="outline: none;">Raghavan SIT chief</b></div>
<div class="body" style="outline: none;">
The former CBI Director R.K. Raghavan would be the Chairman of the five-member SIT. The other members are a retired police officer of Uttar Pradesh C. V. Satpathy and three senior IPS officers from Gujarat, Geeta Johri (convener), Shivanand Jha and Ashish Bhatia.</div>
<div class="body" style="outline: none;">
The SIT would further investigate the incidents that occurred in Godhra, Sardarpura, Gulberg Society, Ode, Naroda Gaon, Naroda Patiya, Deepla Darwaza and the one involving British nationals. The Bench asked the SIT to complete the probe and submit its report to the court in three months.</div>
<div class="body" style="outline: none;">
The Bench said counsel for Gujarat had suggested that the State had no objection to further investigation so that people’s faith in its transparent action would be strengthened. Counsel had said the State was not shielding any guilty persons and it wanted them punished.</div>
<div class="body" style="outline: none;">
The Bench said, “This seems to be a fair approach on the part of the State.”</div>
<div class="body" style="outline: none;">
The SIT would be free to work out modalities and norms for purposes of enquiry or investigation. “If any person wants to be examined by the SIT or wants to give his/her version of the alleged incidents, the SIT shall record the reasons.”</div>
<div class="body" style="outline: none;">
The SIT need not confine itself to complaints and it could conduct any enquiry necessary for the investigation. The Bench directed that the matter be listed for the last week of August for further directions.</div>
<div class="body" style="outline: none;">
The court had stayed the trial in these cases on petitions filed by the National Human Rights Commission and the Citizens for Justice and Peace, which sought a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation and transfer of the cases outside Gujarat.<br />

The Supreme Court may have baulked at transferring the most important Gujarat riot cases out of the State but its order on the establishment of a Special Investigating Team (SIT) to probe these incidents will provide some succour to victims of the 2002 massacres. It was precisely because of the Gujarat administration’s wilful obstruction of justice that the Supreme Court earlier ordered the reopening of hundreds of riot cases that had ended in tame acquittals. In the Best Bakery and Bilkis Bano rape cases, the apex court went further and placed the Central Bureau of Investigation in charge of the investigations. The trials in these two cases were held in Maharashtra and ended in convictions. In 2003, the court stayed proceedings in several high-profile massacre cases, pending final disposal of the National Human Rights Commission’s plea for these trials also to be moved out of Gujarat. This week’s order meets the NHRC half-way: the trials will now be held in Gujarat but the SIT will be empowered to conduct further investigations and file supplementary charge-sheets if it finds the Gujarat police’s original investigations to be incomplete or infirm. The cases relate to some of the worst crimes committed against hundreds of innocent Muslims in Gujarat under the watch of the Narendra Modi government: Naroda-Patiya, the Gulberg Society, Odh, Sardarpura, and Naroda Gaon. Also included is the Godhra train fire of February 27, which took the lives of 59 innocent passengers.</div>
<div class="body" style="outline: none;">
While the order is a step in the right direction, continuous monitoring of these cases by the Supreme Court is needed to ensure final delivery of justice. An independent investigation is a necessary but insufficient condition for ensuring that the guilty are punished. The prosecutor is an equally important part of the process. In several Gujarat riot cases, the public prosecutors did not seem particularly interested in winning convictions. Some of these prosecutors are directly affiliated to the RSS or the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, while others do not wish to inconvenience or embarrass the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party. In the Odh massacre case, where the perpetrators buried their victims’ bodies at different locations, the public prosecutor has actually opposed the plea by the victims’ families for the bodies to be exhumed. If the SIT is to make headway in all these cases, it will require the court’s strong backing in dealing with other branches of the justice delivery system. In the Godhra case, where more than 100 people have been languishing in jail for five years on terrorism charges which the POTA Review Committee found to be unwarranted, the SIT’s mandate must include impartially assessing the nature of the evidence against the accused and taking a call on whether the official charge-sheet, with its multiple contradictions, is sound.</div>

<div style="font-weight: normal;">
The post-Godhra riot cases in Gujarat were back in the spotlight when the Supreme Court suggested today that a five-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) be constituted to investigate afresh the ten worst cases.</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">
A formal order constituting the team is expected to be issued tomorrow by the court when it takes up other issues related to the 2002 communal riots.</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">
Three IPS officers from Gujarat — Geeta Johri, Shivanand Jha and Ashish Bhatia — and two retired IPS officers from outside the state — former CBI chief R K Raghavan and former UP cadre officer C V Satpathy — are likely to make the five-member team.</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">
Cases related to the killings at Gulbarg Society, Naroda Patiya, Naroda Gaon, Sardarpur and Ode are expected to be among the ten that will be the focus of the SIT.</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">
The move to form an SIT came after the Gujarat government took a completely different stand on the plea by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) to hand over investigation of these cases to an independent agency. The NHRC felt a fair and transparent trial was not possible in Gujarat.</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">
The bench of Justices Arijit Pasayat, P Sathasivam and Aftab Alam declared its intention of forming an SIT after hearing the arguments of amicus curiae Harish Salve and senior counsel for Gujarat, Mukul Rohtagi, on the NHRC petition.</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal;">

<b><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: large;">From Shiv Visvanathan's <a href="http://www.india-seminar.com/2010/605/605_shiv_visvanathan.htm">essay on SIT</a></span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: large;">S</span></b><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">IT – Dramatis Personae: An SIT can be read as a script for a play. The choice of actors is critical. In this case the selection of members eventually demanded a split between three insiders and three outsiders. The outsiders were unproblematic but the choice of insiders was distressing. The SIT should be like Caesar’s wife but the eventual choice of members made it appear like Caesar’s harem. Consider the personalities of the three members. First Ashis Bhatia, a career officer. Despite being additional commissioner of police of Surat city, he failed to file an affidavit before the Nanavati Commission. Instead of being punished he gets appointed to succeed D.G. Vanjara, currently in jail for his infamous encounters. Yet, while Bhatia could be tolerable, the next person is an absolute specimen.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"></span><br />
<div align="JUSTIFY">
In Shivanand Jha, the perpetrator’s accomplice masquerades as an investigator. If Modi wishes to make assurance double sure, the choice is immaculate. Jha is suspected of being hand-in-glove with the regime. He was additional CP-Ahmedabad city (Sec 1) where 500 people died on account of police inaction. As home secretary, he handled the reinvestigation of Narodia Patia and the transfer of the Best Bakery case. Appointments like Jha’s add to the cynicism. How is a man seen as accomplice to murder to guarantee justice? The third member is Geeta Johri. She is facing a spate of enquiries and her husband, a forest officer, is facing departmental proceedings on corruption. This makes her vulnerable to pressure by the regime. The point is not that we are short of good officers. There are, among others, Rageesh Kumar Rai, Neerja Gotru Rao and A.K. Singh, all outstanding officers with unimpeachable integrity. One wonders why they were not considered.</div>

<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">Ahmedabad: Special Investigation Team (SIT) appointed by the Supreme Court to probe 2002 riots could find itself in a spot. Going by the SC’s order of Monday to probe all 63 persons including the Chief Minister Narendra Modi’s role in the Gulbarg Society massacre case, one of the SIT’s members is an accused! <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /> The FIR filed by wife of slain ex-MP Ahsan Jafri, Zakia, before the SC, mentions IPS officer Shivanand Jha as one of the accused, charged of “providing false information on the offence”. <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /> Jha happens to be one of the key members of the SIT headed by former CBI director RK </span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">Raghavan, constituted on March 26 last year. <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /> Jha heads the team in the Godhra carnage case where 59 lives were killed and the Ode massacre of Anand district where some NRIs are involved. At least 33 persons died in this massacre. The two other Gujarat officers in SIT are, Geetha Johri, who heads the probe in the Sardarpura, Dipda Darwaja and Prantij case of killing of British nationals, and Ashish Bhatia, who heads the Naroda Patia, Naroda Gam and Gulbarg Society massacres. Jha was recently promoted as additional director general of police. <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /> However, the SIT has probed the Gulbarg massacre case for almost a year and nabbed some 31 accused that were not arrested earlier by the Gujarat police. The local police had arrested 46 persons in this case, but most of them are out on bail.In fact, the issue for SIT is how to go </span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">ahead on recent directions particularly after six chargesheets including one by SIT, have been filed in this case in last seven years. <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /> Retired DGP PC Pande, who is also named as one of the prime accused in the case has reportedly been given a clean chit by SIT, going by contents of its report to the SC, which was leaked to the press recently. When the Gulbarg massacre took place on February 28, 2002, killing 68 persons, Jha was holding charge as additional commissioner of police sector 1, while this massacre took place in sector 2. <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /> When contacted, Raghavan told TOI, “I haven’t got a copy of the order, it will take at least 3-4 days, till then I cannot comment”. <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /> JM Suthar, the investigating officer in the Gulbarg case told TOI, “When we are asked to probe the case from a particular angle, we will do it.”</span></span></div>

Cellphone records accessed by Newsline detail Special Investigation Team (SIT) member Shivanand Jha's movements on February 28, 2002: the day riots broke out post Godhra train carnage. Jha was then the additional commissioner of Ahmedabad police (Sector 1) and used the cellphone number '9825048308'.<br /><br />Jha's mobile phone records have detailed his location when the riots broke out in areas under his jurisdiction. He has been accused of dereliction of duty and giving false evidence in a petition filed by Zakia Jafri, the widow of slain Congress MP Ehsan Jafri. The Supreme Court has ordered investigation into the role of Narendra Modi and 62 others, including Jha, following this petition by Zakia.<br /><br /><br />The issue assumes significance as Jha heads the SIT teams that are investigating the Godhra train carnage case of February 27, 2002 and the post-Godhra massacre at Ode in Anand district.<br /><br />City-based group Jan Sangharsh Manch (JSM) had submitted a detailed analysis of Jha's mobile phone records before the Nanavati Commission. Areas under his jurisdiction had started witnessing riots since the evening of February 27, 2002 and became "uncontrollable" by afternoon the next day. Jha chose to remain in the confines of his office in Shahibaug till 10.49 am on February 28, 2002, as per his phone details.<br /><br />Jha had received 13 calls and made two outgoing calls from his mobile phone between 00:17:27 hrs and 10:49:46 hrs sitting in his office. His mobile phone tower during this period was the Shahibaug Kedar Tower C 105 near Rajasthan Hospital.<br /><br />Ellisbridge, Navrangpura and Satellite areas, which were under Jha's jurisdiction, had started witnessing riots since 7.30 pm on February 27, 2002. Records further say that Madhavpura, Shahibaug, Satellite and Sola areas came under riot's grip since 7 am on February 28. SIT chief R K Raghvan refused to comment on the issue.</span><br />

<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">From the time she defied her superiors in September 1992 as deputy commissioner of police in Ahmedabad to nab underworld don Abdul Latif's man Sharif Khan, to the Sohrabuddin Sheikh encounter probe and her role in the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the Gujarat riots, Johri's career graph has been a turbulent wave — crashing with the same speed it went up.</span></div>

<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">The meticulous inquiry she conducted as a 'sidelined' officer in the CID (crime) in 2006, following a petition filed by Sohrabuddin's brother Rubabuddin in the SC, confirmed not only the missing Kauserbi but also that the encounter was fake. The formal investigation, however, was handed over to deputy inspector general of police Rajnish Rai, who created a flutter in this sleepy investigation agency by arresting IPS officers DG Vanzara, Rajkumar Pandian and Dinesh MN on the basis of Johri's evidence, taking his bosses by surprise.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">The government found him too hot to handle and acted promptly on Rubabuddin's plea before the SC to have Johri return to the probe. Rai quit the probe but not before handing over the CDs containing the telephone records of the three accused to his superiors. Johri had a major showdown with her superiors over recording Amin's statement and was then asked to report directly to the apex court.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">However, the chargesheet that she filed before the sessions court in the case was severely criticised. The SC ordered that the case go to CBI only after finding faults in Johri's handling of the case.</span></div>

An officer who did not think twice before barging into the den of Gujarat’s most feared don Latif Khan, leading a handful of police constables and arresting his henchman Sharif Khan. After she became a household name in Gujarat, tales of bravado and grit did the rounds. For, not many officers travel in an autorickshaw and place the barrel of a gun on the forehead of a gangster. But neither is there an ideal world nor did luck favour this 1982 batch Gujarat cadre officer.</span></div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">Geeta Johri, 52, has again caught the bull by the horns by blaming the CBI for pressurising her into naming politicians like Amit Shah in the Sohrabuddin fake encounter case. In a police career spanning 28 years, taking her to almost every prominent district of Gujarat in pivotal positions, controversy is not new for her. Earlier this year, she was forced to quit the Special Investigation Team (SIT) constituted to probe the Gujarat riots amid allegations of being allotted land by the state government at throwaway rates.</span></div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">Geeta Johri was to be the CBI’s trump card in the investigations into the Sohrabuddin case, for she was part of the SIT formed to look into the encounters in 2007. But she complained of political pressure hindering her investigation. Why is the officer who was to be the most crucial witness in the Sohrabuddin case changing course? An internal CID report detailing her flip-flops said that the point that needed to be probed was why a departmental inquiry into serious charges of corruption against her husband, an officer of the Indian Forest Service, was diluted in October 2008. It hinted that she did this to save his skin.</span></div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">Anil Johri is a north Indian serving in Gujarat, against whom a case of violation of the Official Secrets Act was filed in 2000. The case was being investigated by the CBI, coincidentally by Rajnish Rai, the officer with whom she would be crossing paths again in the Sohrabuddin investigation. A departmental inquiry was started against Anil in June 2005 under then Chief Secretary PK Das, but he went on leave after that. He rejoined the investigation in 2007.</span></div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">In a similar way, Geeta Johri had built a case against top cops DG Vanzara, Rajkumar Pandian and Dinesh MN in the Sohrabuddin case. Sensing trouble, Geeta was removed by the political masters and Rajnish Rai was brought in. But he, much against their expectation, arrested the trio.</span></div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">Again, Geeta was reinstated into the investigation but her interim report submitted in September 2008 claimed that the third person travelling with Sohrabuddin was Kalimuddin, not Tulsi Prajapati, a report for which she was chastised by the Supreme Court. At this juncture, in July 2009, the Chief Secretary of Gujarat who was supervising her husband’s case, gave a clean chit to all the forest officials involved. Many fellow officers claim that Geeta, awarded the Police Medal for meritorious service in 1998, could not be corrupted with money, but power was a weakness. She was rewarded with the position of the Commissioner of Rajkot Police and also nominated for the President’s Police Medal for distinguished service in 2009, when she had not even figured in the list put up by the DGP. Now, suggests a senior Supreme Court lawyer, “Her affidavit in the SC reads very similar to the arguments made by Ram Jethmalani in the SC, especially his remarks on Justice Tarun Chatterjee.”</span></div>

<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small; line-height: normal;">The Supreme Court (SC) has asked the special investigation team (SIT) probing the 2002 Gujarat riot cases to file its response to the allegations that it has withheld some vital evidence regarding the involvement of ruling politicians and top ranking bureaucracy.</span></span><br />
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small; line-height: normal;">A bench of justices DK.

<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small; line-height: normal;">The court turned down the demand for removal of senior counsel Harish Salve as amicus curae in the cases relating to post-Godhra riots.</span></span><br />

<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">AHMEDABAD: The special public prosecutors appointed by Special Investigation Team (SIT) in the Gulbarg Society massacre case, RK Shah and his assistant Naina Bhatt have resigned from the case ostensibly after being "frustrated" with SIT's behaviour and dissatisfaction over court proceedings.</span></div>

<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">The Gulbarg case has witnessed many ups and downs since the trial began in the last couple of months, the last being the witnesses seeking removal of the special judge BU Joshi.

<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">Sources say the lawyers tendered their resignation to SIT earlier and submitted a copy to the state legal department on Tuesday.

The designated judge, however, passed a lengthy order requesting him not to give up the case, as the proceedings in this sensitive trial are nearing completion. The judge has asked both lawyers to be present in court on March 8.</span></div>

<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">A member of the Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team (SIT) met witnesses of Dipdadarwaja and Sardarpura riot cases of 2002 to assess their security arrangements, SIT officials said on Wednesday.</span><br />
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">"We met the witnesses of the Sardarpura and Dipdadarwaja riots of Mehsana district who are now living in Satnagar village near Himmatnagar in Sabarkantha district. The purpose of visit was to meet witnesses of the two riot cases and see the progress of the trial in those cases," SIT member Paramvir Singh said, adding that he also met the special public prosecutor for the two cases.</span><br />
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">Singh also visited the scene of offence in Sardarpura village in Vijapur taluka and Dipdadarwaja area of Visnagar town in Mehsana district.</span><br />
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">Communal riots broke out in different parts of the state following the Godhra train burning incident. In one such incident in Sardarpura, 33 people were killed by a mob in March 2002. While in another incident in Dipdadarwaja, 11 members of the minority community, including five children, were hacked to death and burnt in their houses during the post-Godhra riots.</span><br />
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">Singh said that witnesses of both the cases were satisfied with the security arrangements made by the SIT.</span><br />
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">"The witnesses raised some issues during the interaction. These are being looked into," Singh said, but declined to divulge further details.</span><br />
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">According to police sources accompanying Singh, the witnesses had complained about the sanitation and other facilities which were lacking in Satnagar.</span><br />
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">Mentioning that SIT's Witness Protection Cell (WPC) for riot cases was functioning well, Singh said: "We have not received any major complaints of harassment yet. But whatever complaints we have got are being looked into."</span><br />
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">The six-member SIT, headed by former CBI chief R K Raghavan, is probing nine cases, including the Godhra train burning case. It is also inquiring into a complaint by a riot victim accusing Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and 62 others for allegedly abetting the 2002 riots.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 15px;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 15px;">
On February 10, the Supreme Court directed the Special Investigation Team (SIT) investigating the 2002 communal riots cases in Gujarat to respond to allegations that it had withheld vital evidence regarding the involvement of senior politicians and top bureaucrats in the riots. The SIT has to file its response before the next hearing in the case, scheduled for March 15.</div>
<div style="line-height: 15px;">
The development highlights once again the tortuous course of the probe into one of the worst communal carnages in independent India. In fact, the intervention of the Supreme Court led to the setting up of the SIT under R.K. Raghavan, a former Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).</div>
<div style="line-height: 15px;">
But even that happened in March 2008, nearly six years after the bloodbath in the State. This was followed by the May 2009 order stipulating trials under the supervision of the SIT. Barely a year later, a new chapter has been added to the investigations.</div>
<div style="line-height: 15px;">
The February 10 directive of the Supreme Court has come in the wake of petitions filed by a number of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and social activists such as Devendra Bhai Pathak and Teesta Setalvad of Citizens for Justice and Peace. They expressed serious concern about the manner in which the trials were proceeding and alleged serious lapses in the progress of the SIT investigation itself. The petitioners alleged that the SIT refused to look into key aspects of further investigation, especially those dealing with <em>mala fide</em> intentions and complicity of state actors. The petitions stated that police witnesses, working directly with the SIT, had turned hostile, much to the shock of the trial court, and that the SIT did not ensure adequate safety for the witnesses. The petitions also pointed out that several people, including Chief Minister Narendra Modi, had not been questioned by the SIT.</div>
<div style="line-height: 15px;">
Affidavits, which run into 3,000 pages and include those of several riot victims, filed along with the applications of the NGOs and separately, give crucial and detailed information on the handling of the communally charged situation after the Godhra train burning incident. They relate essentially to nine cases being probed by the SIT and cover a variety of facts such as the phone records of policemen and the key perpetrators, locations of officers and statements of witnesses.</div>
<div style="line-height: 15px;">
The documents emphasise the tacit involvement of top police officers in the carnage and the fact that most of them hold prominent positions in the Gujarat government now. The petitions and the affidavits also assert that the build-up of arsenal, men and arms for the post-Godhra riots has not been investigated sufficiently.</div>
<div style="line-height: 15px;">
The build-up, according to the petitioners, was exposed in <em>Tehelka</em>’s Operation Kalank and the affidavits of police officers R.B. Sreekumar and Rahul Sharma. The petitions also alleged that the SIT failed to investigate thoroughly the documentary evidence, including phone call records, mobile van records, control room registers, station diary entries and fire brigade registers. A scrutiny of these would have indicated the extent of “pre-planning” that went into the post-Godhra violence, the petitions stated.</div>

<div align="justify" style="line-height: 15px;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 15px;">
They pointed to the failure to take adequate steps to prevent threats to witnesses and also highlighted the SIT’s lapse in not seeking the cancellation of bail of influential accused persons, who remain free during the trials.</div>
<div style="line-height: 15px;">
Thematically, the affidavits relate to eight cases concerning incidents and personalities. According to Devendra Bhai Pathak, in the cases relating to the Naroda Patiya and Naroda Gam incidents, in which more than 110 persons were brutally murdered and many women and girls were raped, the SIT has not recorded the statements of 129 witnesses.</div>
<div style="line-height: 15px;">
Additionally, witnesses referred to the active involvement of Inspector K.K. Mysorewala (now a Superintendent of Police) in ordering police firing on Muslims after discussions with former Minister Mayaben Kodnani, but he has not been arraigned. Incidentally, Maya Kodnani was arrested following investigations by the SIT in the early phases. According to witnesses, Mysorewala is said to have told those seeking protection that there were “instructions/orders from higher authorities not to protect you. There is no order to save Muslims… you have to die today.”</div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">PTI </span><br /><img align="center" border="1" src="http://www.frontline.in/static/html/fl2705/images/20100312270503801.jpg" height="323" width="309" /><br /><b>Former Gujarat Minister Mayaben Kodnani and VHP leader Jaydeep Patel, both accused in the Naroda Patiya riot case, outside a court in Ahmedabad in April 2009.</b></center>
<div style="line-height: 15px;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 15px;">
An analysis of calls from Mysorewala’s phone, as reflected in Pathak’s petition and the affidavits, shows that he received a call from Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Jaydeep Patel, who is accused in the Naroda Patiya and Naroda Gam cases. The timing of the call, as recorded, was when the massacre was at its worst, says the petition. Witnesses also recount Special Reserve Police (SRP) officer K.P. Parekh as telling the hapless victims that no one would save them as they had orders from higher authorities to kill them. Parekh has not yet been arraigned.</div>
<div style="line-height: 15px;">
The infamous case of Babu Bajrangi has also been brought up in the petitions. Pathak’s petition says 15 witnesses named Bajrangi as the leader of a mob that slaughtered 95 people and cut open the abdomen of Kauserbanu and killed her foetus. The SIT has not sought the cancellation of his bail, and he has been allowed to travel abroad. According to the petitioners, 53 witnesses named Suresh Langda Richard Chara as the person who led a mob to kill, rape and burn Muslims. Chara roams free and the SIT has not arraigned him either.</div>
<div style="line-height: 15px;">
In spite of cries for help, as is evident from the hours and hours of recorded phone records, no help came to the Gulberg Society, where 70 Muslims were burned or hacked to death over a period of 11 hours. Congress Member of Parliament Ahsan Jaffri was one of them. The petitioners said the SIT had failed totally to “inquire/investigate into the circumstances in which repeated calls for police assistance went unheeded”. In this case the SIT has arraigned 25 persons, including Inspector K.G. Erda of the Meghaninagar Police Station, who was in the area at the time of the carnage. The petitions state that Erda’s phone records show that during the hours of the carnage on February 27 and 28, 2002, he made several calls to the police control room, Police Commissioner P.C. Pandey, Joint Commissioner M.K. Tandon and Deputy Commissioner of Police P.B. Gondia.</div>
<div style="line-height: 15px;">
While the SIT has interrogated Tandon, it has taken little action, say the petitioners. In fact, Tandon admitted to the Nanavati Commission that he was informed that Ahsan Jaffri was in danger. Pandey, the records show, had even visited Jaffri and told him that police protection would be provided. Phone records prove that both Tandon and Pandey were in touch with the police officers in the riot-hit areas. Yet, Jaffri was killed. The petitions point out that there were records to show that Jaffri made nearly 200 calls for assistance. Some of these were to the police control room. At the time, Cabinet Ministers Ashok Bhatt and I.K. Jadeja were in the control room, but no one helped Jaffri.</div>
<div style="line-height: 15px;">
The case of Shivanand Jha, Assistance Commissioner of Police, Ahmedabad, is even stranger. He was in charge of the control room at that time and the needle of suspicion should point to him. But he is a key member of the SIT.</div>
<div style="line-height: 15px;">
There has been no further investigation by the SIT in the Godhra trial too. The petitioners say the SIT has accepted the investigation carried out by a clearly biased Gujarat Police. The affidavits delve largely into the actions of senior policemen. Many pages are dedicated to location details and phone calls made by the victims. Ahmedabad Police Commissioner Pandey was given a clean chit by the SIT in April last year as he claimed that he was in charge of the bodies of those who died in the Godhra train fire and was unaware of the actual situation in the city. Phone call records indicate that he was very much in touch with police personnel in all the riot-hit areas during the worst hours of the massacre.</div>
<div style="line-height: 15px;">
Activists such as Teesta Setalvad have said there should be a re-investigation into his partisan role. They wonder why the Police Commissioner was handling dead bodies when the city was burning. Similarly, Tandon’s actions on that day have not been questioned. He visited Naroda Patiya after speaking to Pandey. Once there, he found the crowd restive and so was compelled to order a curfew, at 12.29 p.m. Yet he left the area at 12.33 p.m. without ensuring that it was implemented. Naroda went up in flames soon after.</div>
<div style="line-height: 15px;">
The petitioners believe that the singular lack of investigation has to be viewed in the context of the fact that the main investigation officers of the SIT – Geeta Johri, Shivanand Jha and Ashish Bhatia – are all Gujarat-cadre officers who were subordinate and answerable to Pandey until recently.</div>

Social activists have pointed out that the SIT did not question several people who allegedly played a role in the riots.</b></center>
<div style="line-height: 15px;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 15px;">
They are also in the service and under the control of the Gujarat government, which for obvious reasons has resisted any form of investigation into the riots. Johri’s role in the Sohrabuddin encounter case was criticised recently by the Supreme Court itself. In the context of all this, Teesta Setalvad and many other activists have demanded the reconstitution of the SIT.</div>
<div style="line-height: 15px;">
On the overall treatment of the victims, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) had filed a petition against the Gujarat government, pointing out that the government was hostile towards them. The manner in which evidence was being recorded and the questionable trial court procedures were also in focus. For instance, the NHRC says that in the Gulberg Society trial it has been noticed that there is a significant change in the manner in which the court is treating the witnesses after four or five crucial witnesses deposed.</div>
<div style="line-height: 15px;">
In the case of Saeed Khan Pathan, while he was attempting to explain how he was being threatened by the accused, the court refused to record his explanation. Even after his lawyer made a detailed application saying his explanation should be recorded in its entirety, the judge refused to oblige. Three Muslims visiting from the United Kingdom in 2002 were hacked to death by a group of people near Pratij in Gujarat. Two eyewitnesses have turned hostile in this case, too. The petitioners have sought better security measures after a car with shaded windows drove dangerously close to one of them within the court premises.</div>
<div style="line-height: 15px;">
It remains to be seen how the SIT will respond to the Supreme Court directive. Speaking to<em>Frontline</em> on the phone, its Chairman, R.K. Raghavan, said that the response would be filed before the March 15 hearing. He added that the SIT had responded to many of the issues raised by the petitioners in the note it had given to the <em>amicus curiae</em>.</div>
<div style="line-height: 15px;">
“Now, the court wants to take a look at our responses directly. It will be placed before the court in a sealed cover. It is up to the court to decide whether to make it public or not,” Raghavan said. Hemantika Wahi, counsel for the Gujarat government, told <em>Frontline</em> that the State government would have no role in preparing the response and it was wholly up to the SIT to draft the response.</div>
<div style="line-height: 15px;">
Clearly, the court directive has added a qualitative dimension to the Gujarat carnage cases. Whether this will ultimately result in justice for the victims depends on several factors, including the SIT response.</div>

Giving Guj riots probe to CBI a closed chapter, rules SC</h1>

</div>
The Supreme Court on Tuesday said the "chapter" of handing over the post-Godhra riots investigation to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) was "closed", and the exercise would only "put the clock back".A three-judge Bench headed by Justice D K Jain observed that to transfer the probe from the Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team (SIT), set up on March 26, 2008, to the CBI would only retard the progress made since its inception.<br />
The court was replying to a submission by advocate Kamini Jaiswal, appearing for human rights activists, for a CBI probe.<br />
"That chapter is closed. Transferring the investigation to another agency will only put the clock back. All the work done so far will go waste and this investigation will take a long time to finish," noted the Bench, also comprising Justices P Sathasivam and Aftab Alam.<br />
Citing a judicial order passed by Ahmedabad Metropolitan Magistrate S P Tamang on September 7, 2009 in the Ishrat Jahan case, Jaiswal argued that many police officers indicted in the Ishrat case were "assisting" the SIT members in the Godhra probe.<br />
Solicitor General Gopal Subramanium, too, criticised the SIT for "keeping back evidence" from the trial.<br />
The apex court has now directed SIT chairman and former CBI director R K Raghavan to "comment" on the allegations of lapses made by the activists.<br />
Jaiswal also questioned how senior advocate Harish Salve, an amicus curiae in the post-Godhra cases, could appear for the Gujarat government in the Ishrat case. "I have no faith in the amicus curiae. Everybody is appearing for everybody here. My Lords should discipline the court," Jaiswal said.<br />
To this, the court responded that it was up to the Bench to decide who they should appoint as amicus.<br />
Replying to a suggestion mooted by the SG that adverse remarks passed by the apex court against IPS officer and SIT convenor Gita Johri in the Soharabbuddin fake encounter case made her position shaky, Salve said "heavens will not fall" if she was relieved of her duties.<br />
Salve, however, suggested that the SIT should be given liberty to consult Johri on the investigations.</div>

</div>
<div style="font-size: 11px;">
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday sought the comments of R.K. Raghavan, head of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) investigating the Godhra and post-Godhra communal riot cases in Gujarat, on an application alleging lapses in the probe and seeking reconstitution of SIT.</div>
<div style="font-size: 11px;">
A Bench of Justices D.K. Jain, P. Sathasivam and Aftab Alam granted him three weeks to file his response.</div>
<div style="font-size: 11px;">
Devendra Bhai Pathak and other applicants said there were serious concerns at the manner in which trial in seven cases was proceeding, despite SIT presence and supervision. They alleged that SIT refused to look into key aspects of further investigation, especially dealing with mala fide intentions and complicity of state actors. Among the issues were: “Police witnesses, directly working with the SIT, turning hostile to the shock of the trial court which made observations about their conduct after they were declared hostile; [other] witnesses turning hostile, the SIT not ensuring them adequate safety.”The applicants said several people, including Chief Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Secretary Chaturvedi, who were allegedly part of the conspiracy to create communal disturbances, were not questioned by SIT. This amounted to a serious lapse.</div>
<div style="font-size: 11px;">
Counsel Kamini Jaiswal alleged that SIT was not conducting the investigation properly and said it should be reconstituted. For, three of its members — police officers Geeta Johri, Shivanand Jha and Ashish Bhatia — who had been indicted, could not continue. When she pressed for a CBI probe, Mr. Justice Jain said: “Don’t raise that plea now. That is a closed chapter. The investigation has already progressed and the trial commenced. It will be like putting the back the clock.”</div>
<div style="font-size: 11px;">
Solicitor-General Gopal Subramaniam, appearing for the Centre, cited instances of SIT not producing evidence before the trial court and said this affected its credibility. When <em>amicus curiae</em> Harish Salve suggested that SIT could take the assistance of Ms. Johri for past investigation, Mr. Justice Alam said, “Our [Supreme Court] observations against her in the Sohrabuddin case cannot be brushed aside.” Mr. Salve said he would have no problem if Ms. Johri was removed from SIT. On the allegation that the SIT chief was not available in Gujarat and his absence hampered the investigations and trial, Mr. Salve said Mr. Raghavan had informed him that he was appointed only to oversee the investigation and hence his constant presence in the State was not required. The Bench listed the case for further hearing on March 15.</div>

The Supreme Court on Monday indicated that it would consider the former Union Law Minister and senior advocate, Ram Jethmalani's plea to recall the order, passed in April 2009, referring to the Special Investigation Team Zakia Jaffrey's complaint citing Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and 62 others as accused.</div>
<div class="body" style="outline: none;">
A Bench of Justices D.K. Jain, P. Sathasivam and Aftab Alam agreed to hear Mr. Jethmalani, appearing for a BJP MLA Kalu Bhai Maliwad, on recalling the April 27, 2009 order, after the counsel alleged that it was passed without any of the 63 persons cited as accused given notice.</div>
<div class="body" style="outline: none;">
The Bench also directed a trial court in Ahmedabad to defer its hearing in the Gulberg Society case following a petition filed in the Gujarat High Court seeking transfer of the case to another trial court judge. The Bench took into consideration the submissions made by Solicitor-General Gopal Subramanian and senior advocate and <i style="outline: none;">amicus curiae</i> Harish Salve that Special Public Prosecutor R.K. Shah had tendered resignation, making certain allegations against the judge and the SIT and opining that the trial should be deferred.</div>
<div class="body" style="outline: none;">
Mr. Subramanian said: “The letter makes it clear that the public prosecutor was not allowed to examine the witnesses in the docket, and even the SIT was not making available to him documents relating to the case.” He wanted the court to find some innovative means under such circumstances. The Bench asked the SIT, headed by R.K. Raghavan, to respond to Mr. Shah's allegations.</div>
<div class="body" style="outline: none;">
Earlier, the Bench perused the response, received from the SIT in a sealed cover, to certain allegations levelled by petitioners Devendra Bhai Pathak and others alleging lapses in the probe and seeking reconstitution of the SIT. They alleged that the SIT refused to look into the key aspects of further investigation, especially mala fide intentions and complicity of state actors. The Bench asked the Registry to give copies of the report to the <i style="outline: none;">amicus curiae</i> and the Solicitor-General and refused to give copies to the Gujarat government.</div>
<div class="body" style="outline: none;">
The Bench also asked the <i style="outline: none;">amicus curiae</i> to obtain the SIT's response to another application moved by Ismail Mulla in respect of certain allegations and posted the matter for further hearing in the first week of April.</div>
<div class="body" style="outline: none;">
When Mr. Jethmalani pleaded for recall of the April 2009 order, Justice Jain said: “We have to consider whether the order in entirety can be recalled or in part.” The counsel said: “The target of the case is accused number one [Narendra Modi].” Ms. Jaffrey's complaint accuses Mr. Modi and others of orchestrating the 2002 riots.</div>
<div class="body" style="outline: none;">
Mr. Jethmalani argued that the “order for the SIT probe is not in the interest of law and justice, as the document is not a complaint for cognisance, as accused number 13 [Maliwad] was not heard.” He said the provisions of the Cr.P.C. were overlooked, and the case was handed over to the SIT, whose member, Shivanand Jha, a senior IPS officer, was named an accused. He wanted the order passed by Justice Arijit Pasayat (since retired) and Justice A.K. Ganguly recalled<br />

The Supreme Court on Tuesday restrained senior IPS officers Geeta Johri and Shivanand Jha, who are members of the Special Investigation Team, from associating themselves with the probe/trial of the 2002 Gujarat riot cases until further orders.</div>
<div class="body" style="margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
A Bench of Justices D.K. Jain, P. Sathasivam and Aftab Alam passed this order following allegations by Devendra Bhai Pathak and other petitioners of lapses in the probe and their plea for reconstitution of the SIT, formed by the court and headed by the former CBI Director R.K. Raghavan. The Bench asked amicus curiae Harish Salve to furnish to Gujarat copies of the comments received from the SIT and its members on certain allegations to enable the State to respond, and posted the matter to April 19, when it would consider the plea for reconstitution of the SIT and stay of the trial.</div>
<div class="body" style="margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
The petitioners alleged that the SIT refused to look into key aspects of further investigation, especially mala fide intentions and complicity of state actors. In particular, it was pointed out that the court had indicted Ms. Johri in the Sohrabuddin fake encounter case and Mr. Jha had been cited as one of the accused in the complaint given by Zakia Jaffrey, wife of the former Congress MP, Ehsan Jaffrey, who was burnt alive. Ms. Jaffrey wants a probe against Chief Minister Narendra Modi and 62 others for their alleged role in the riots. The petitioners sought further investigation and stay of the trial in the 10 cases handled by the SIT.</div>
<div class="body" style="margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
At one stage, when the Bench was about to stay the trial, senior counsel Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for Gujarat, said the court should not pass any order without hearing the State.</div>
<div class="body" style="margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
Counsel said 1,061 out of 2,100 witnesses were already examined. No investigation was pending, charge sheets were filed and trial was proceeding in all the 10 cases without any complaint. As for 100 witnesses turning hostile, Mr. Rohatgi said it happened just like in any other trial.</div>
<div class="body" style="margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
When Justice Sathasivam asked, “When serious allegations are made against the SIT, should we keep quiet,” Mr. Rohatgi replied, “Should you stay the trial for this reason?”</div>
<div class="body" style="margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
Counsel said: “The petition was motivated. All of a sudden, allegations were being made against the SIT, the public prosecutors, judges, magistrates and others.” Questioning the procedure adopted by the court, Mr. Rohatgi said: “One-and-half years after the SIT had conducted the investigation and [when] trial was going on, the Supreme Court should not act as a super appellate court going into the correctness of charge sheets etc, violating all procedures.”</div>
<div class="body" style="margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
The former Union Law Minister and senior counsel, Ram Jethmalani, appearing for BJP MLA Kalu Bhai Maliwad, who wants recalling of the order April 27, 2009 order passed on Ms. Jaffrey's complaint, said: “Justice is not a layman's search for truth. This is a game. It should be played according to the rules.”</div>
<div class="body" style="margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
<b style="outline: none;">“Violation of procedure”</b></div>
<div class="body" style="margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
Mr. Jethmalani said: “What the petitioners want is that all 63 persons [cited in Ms. Jaffrey's complaint] including Mr. Modi should be hanged without any hearing. Every order that is being passed by the Supreme Court is in violation of the procedure contemplated under the Cr.PC and prejudicial to the accused.”</div>
<div class="body" style="margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
When Justice Jain wanted to know whether the earlier orders passed in this case were in exercise of powers under Article 142 to render complete justice, he said: “Even under Article 142, no order can be passed in violation of a procedure under a statute, viz. the Cr.PC. I am sorry to say that all these orders were passed without any authority under law.”</div>
<div class="body" style="margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
Earlier, Mr. Salve referred to the comments received from the SIT and said it had not considered certain aspects. When the credibility of the SIT was at stake, it would lead to larger implications. He said he would get points from the petitioners on the comments of the SIT and formulate the issues for consideration by the court at a hearing on April 28, when it would also consider Mr. Jethmalani's submissions.</div>
<div class="body" style="margin-bottom: 20px; outline: none;">
Solicitor-General and another amicus curiae Gopal Subramaniam pleaded for reconstitution of the SIT and stay of the trial in the meantime.</div>

<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">New Delhi: Even as it is set to deal with the special investigation team’s (SIT) sealed-cover report on Narendra Modi’s alleged complicity in Gujarat riots, the Supreme Court has made a succession of unusual moves as part of what seems to be an elaborate damage-control exercise to restore the SIT’s credibility. <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /> The latest is the order passed on May 14 acceding to the request of SIT chairman R K Raghavan that he be allowed to add two more non-Gujarat members to his team, evidently to allay fears that its investigations have been compromised by the three members drawn from the state police. A three-judge bench headed by Justice D K Jain passed the order just before the summer break sitting in his chamber rather than in the courtroom. <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /> Activist Teesta Setalvad filed an application on Monday objecting to the claim made in the order that the advocates representing the interests of riot victims had been present at the unscheduled chamber hearing. Seeking a modification of the May 14 order, Setalvad’s application proposed that before the new SIT members were finalized, the names proposed by Raghavan and amicus curiae Harish Salve should be disclosed in the open court to facilitate a transparent verification of the credentials of those candidates. <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /> Raghavan’s plea for expanding his team came in the wake of another un</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">usual order of the Supreme Court passed on May 6 taking cognizance of the allegations against the SIT of conducting faulty investigations, especially because three of its four members were from the Gujarat police. </span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /> Rather than seeking an independent appraisal, the court in its May 6 order directed a member of SIT, A K Malhotra, to probe the allegations against the other members as well as chairman Raghavan. The apparent justification for entrusting such a responsibility to Malhotra was that, besides chairman Raghavan, he was the only SIT member from outside Gujarat. <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /> For the same reason, Malhotra was the member who interrogated Modi in March while probing Zakia Jafri’s complaint, which had been referred to SIT by the apex court. The court asked Malhotra to look into the allegations against SIT shortly after he had submitted his report on the allegations against Modi and other influential persons. <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /> This was preceded by yet another attempt by the apex court to restore SIT’s credibility. On April 6, it directed two of the three Gujarat members, Geeta Johri and Shivanand Jha, to keep away from all investigations related to the riots. The third SIT member from Gujarat, Ashish Bhatia, was not asked to keep away although, as the officer in charge of the Gulbarg case, he was the main target of allegations of cover-up. <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /> Even otherwise, the Supreme Court’s failure to shunt Bhatia out of SIT raised eyebrows because it had already stayed the trial of the Gulbarg case on March 15 on the basis of the disclosures made against him by special public prosecutor R K Shah. </span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Shooting Down Worries </b></span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />On April 6, the Supreme Court passed an order, directing two of its three Gujarat members—Geetha Johri and Shivanand Jha—to stay away from riots probe In May 6 order, the SC took cognizance of faulty probe allegations against the SIT, especially as three of its four members were from the Gujarat police. It also directed its only non-Gujarati member besides chairman Raghavan to probe the allegations In its order on May 14, it agreed to Raghavan’s request of adding non-Guj members to ward off fears of biased probe by three state police members</span></span></div>

<i>Members, prosecutors and even amicus curiae were either dropped or opted out as charges flew thick</i><br />
<br />
The unprecedented step of the Supreme Court, which on Thursday sidestepped its own Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the 2002 riots, was only a culmination of a slew of controversies that have dogged the SIT ever since it was formed in April 2008.<br />
It all started with the inclusion of the then deputy superintendent of police and controversial investigation officer of the Godhra train burning incident, Noel Parmar, into the SIT. Parmar was the officer who floated the terror conspiracy theory in the case and booked the accused under controversial Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA). The Gujarat High Court later dropped POTA charges. Several persons, including the relatives of the accused in the case, had written to SIT chief R K Raghvan opposing Parmar's inclusion in the team. Parmar was eventually dropped from the SIT.<br />
The SIT ran into another controversy when some NGOs opposed the continuation of two of the SIT members, Gujarat-cadre IPS officers Geetha Johri and Shivanand Jha, on grounds of their official conduct. The SC then directed Raghvan to drop Johri and Jha from the SIT but Raghvan responded by asking the apex court to reconsider its decision. This led the SC to remark, "We did not pass the order on the request of SIT chief, have we? What is the relevance of SIT chairman seeking to retain two of its members?"<br />
While Johri and Jha from dropped from the SIT on the SC orders, IPS officer Paramvir Singh, who replaced one of them, opted out soon after his inclusion.<br />
The SIT also courted controversy over special public prosecutors (SPP) who were appointed under its recommendation. The SPP, R K Shah, and his assistant in the Gulberg Society killings case, Nayana Bhatt, had quit while complaining about SIT's functioning. The two lawyers had particularly raised questions over the role played by one of the SIT members and a Gujarat-cadre officer, Ashish Bhatia.<br />
The public prosecutors in the Ode killings case, C H Desai and M C Desai, had also withdrawn from the case midway. Even the SPP in the Naroda Gam killings case, Nigam Shukla, had opted out under controversial circumstances.<br />
The appointments of the amicus curiae in the matter had also had its share of controversy. The original amicus curiae in the matter, Prashant Bhushan, was allowed to withdraw by the SC after the Gujarat government opposed his appointment, alleging he was biased and had strong views against Chief Minister Narendra Modi.<br />
One other amicus curiae in the matter, senior SC counsel Harish Salve, also withdrew from the matter after facing criticism for having a conflict of interest.<br />
SIT chief R K Raghvan has also been under fire from political parties, NGOs and victims of the 2002 riots. Besides being accused of shielding Narendra Modi, Raghvan has also drawn criticism for not probing into the larger conspiracy behind the 2002 riots.<br />
The Gujarat-cadre IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt, who is now in the eye of a storm over his affidavit linking Modi to the 2002 riots, has also accused SIT led by Raghvan of disregarding the information he was providing against Modi as a witness.</div>

Letter from PW Ashish Khetan to Chairperson SIT RK Raghavan</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #252324; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
February 8 2013<br />
Dear Mr. Raghvan</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #252324; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
As you must be aware my deposition in Naroda Gam Massacre case is presently on.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #252324; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
I’d like to bring to your notice a few disturbing developments.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #252324; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
First of all the defense lawyers particularly Mr. Chetan Shah have been quite abusive and insulting while cross-examining me. Through out my deposition he kept taunting and humiliating me. Also many of his questions were aimed at insulting and annoying me. But this was not all. On more than one occasion he also tried to intimidate and threaten the presiding judge. He on multiple ocassions screamed at her at the top of his voice and humiliated her in front of the packed court room.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #252324; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
The developments outside the courtroom have also been quite discouraging. The Ahmedabad edition of Dainik Bhaskar newspaper dated February 5 published a factually incorrect and depraved account of my ongoing deposition in the Naroda Gram massacre case. On the same day the Delhi edition of the same group published a story claiming that I have retracted my testimony.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #252324; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
These two articles triggered a vicious vilification campaign against my evidence on social media. Clearly it’s an attempt to not only demoralize me but also vitiate the public opinion against the credibility of my ongoing evidence.<br />
Today, I sent a mail to Ahmedabad edition’s resident editor (on his email id avnish.jain@dainikbhaskargroup.com) demanding an apology and clarification.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #252324; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
But instead of correcting the mistake, Mr. Jain called me from his cellphone 09978910358 at 8:14 pm and threatened that more editions of Dainik Bhaskar Group could also now start reporting that I’d retracted my statement.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #252324; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Though I’m trying at my level to stop this vilification campaign against my evidence and writing letters to all concerned, I’d appreciate if you could also take steps you deem appropriate to preserve the sanctity of the ongoing trial.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #252324; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Best regards</div>

<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The communal conflagration in the state had led to the disappearance of a total of 413 people. Of these, 185 people were found, leaving 228 still untraced. Administrative procedures are now on to correct the official toll by listing those 228 missing persons as dead.</span></div>

<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The missing include Azhar Mody, son of Rupa and Dara Mody, whose story inspired the 2007 Bollywood film, 'Parzania'.</span></div>

<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">"The question of government presuming a missing person dead arises when rights are attached to the dead. Relatives of the missing people will have to inform a competent government authority like the revenue department about their status. But the real issue, because these people went missing in rioting, is that they are presumed murdered. The bigger question is not of compensation but of investigation into these murders," said Gujarat high court lawyer Mukul Sinha.</span></div>

Rupa and Dara Mody continue to wait for Azhar to this day, although a witness has claimed before the SC-appointed special investigation team that he had seen Azhar's body after the Gulbarg Society massacre. "We are not buying that version because the witness's description of the boy's clothes does not match with that of his mother, who would certainly have a more vivid memory of her lost son," said a senior SIT officer.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Of the 413 people reported missing in Gujarat, around 200 were from Ahmedabad alone. Among the 185 people found was Muzaffar Sheikh, raised by a Hindu mother, Veena Patni. SIT helped reunite him with his parents last year.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Additional commissioner of police Ashish Bhatia confirmed that the toll of Gujarat riot victims is set to rise. "In the Naroda Patia case, we confirmed 95 persons dead, against the earlier official toll of 83. In Naroda Gaam, we have confirmed three more dead, which takes the toll in that area to 11."</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Citizens for Justice and Peace had submitted a list of missing persons to the Supreme Court to support their claim that 71 of them had died in Gulbarg Society, and not 39 as officially stated. Congress ex-MP Ahsan Jafri, whose body was never found, is listed as dead.</div>

Those who are missing since the 2002 post Godhra communal riots in Gujarat are soon to be declared dead by the authorities with the expiry of seven years' stipulated time.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23px;">
As a result, official death figure of 2002 riots will go up from 952 to 1180, as 228 persons, who are missing will be presumed to be dead after seven years.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23px;">
As per the law, any person, who is missing for seven years, is declared dead after the stipulated period. "We have prepared a list of missing people and sent it to the revenue department, which would declare the missing persons as dead," said Additional Chief Secretary (Home) Balwant Singh.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23px;">
The State Revenue Department would send the details to the district collectorates for the subsequent process.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23px;">
Meanwhile, Ahmedabad collector Harit Shukla said the final list of missing people from the police is awaited. "Once we have the list, we will start the process of declaring them as dead, inform the civic authorities to prepare their death certificate and subsequently, compensation claims will be processed," he added.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23px;">
In the aftermath of the communal carnage, a total number of 413 people had disappeared of which 185 people were found while 228 are missing. The 228 missing people also include 24 children and 27 women.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23px;">
"As per the procedure of law, we will have to revise the final figure of 2002 riots as missing persons are presumed as dead after seven years," a senior official said.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23px;">
He said that the process in this regard has been initiated and will be completed by the first week of March as most of the people went missing from February 27 to March 5, 2002.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23px;">
The largest number of missing people are from Ahmedabad city with the figures of 99, while in Panchamahal 76, Dahod 17, Ahmedabad district 9, Sabarkantha 9, Baroda 15, Anand two and Surat one are missing.</div>
<div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23px;">
Families of those, who are missing would be able to claim full compensation as paid to those who died during the riots, officials said.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23px;">
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court appointed Special Investigation Team (SIT), which is probing some of the cases afresh, has already revised death toll of Naroda Patia and Naroda village massacres.</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23px;">
In Naroda Patia case, the official figure 83 has been revised to 93 while Naroda village toll has gone up to 11 from earlier 8, SIT officials added.</div>

The latest statistics available with the Gujarat police show that more Muslims have been killed in police firing in Gujarat than Hindus. Statistics made available by top sources in the Police Bhavan here show that out of the 170 persons killed in the state so far, 93 are Muslims and 77 Hindus. According to officials this was not the case in march when records suggested that 60 out of 100 killed in police firing were Hindus and 40 were Muslims. These damning statistics, which are also being sought by the national commission for minorities clearly show that of the 70 people killed in the second month of violence, an overwhelming 53 are Muslims and only 17 Hindus. This, police officials would claim, was a result of trying to control the 'Muslim backlash' that was being talked about in the official circles. Police officials said that the backlash could be especially seen in Ahmedabad, where out of the total number of persons injured in stabbings, 62 are Hindus and 30 Muslims. the overall figures for Gujarat of those injured in stabbings tell a different story, with 131 Hindus and 179 Muslims. The figures should be seen in the light of the community-wise break-up of total number of riot victims in Gujarat. </span><span style="color: red;">The break-up is available for 726 deaths in riots, which show that 552 muslims and 168 hindus, including the 59 Godhra train victims, have been killed</span><span style="color: #3f3f3f;"> so far. It is significant that the maximum jump in police firing deaths of the two communities has taken place in Ahmedabad, where right from the beginning of the riots, the number of Muslims falling to police bullets is disproportionately high. About a month back, out of the total of 40 police firing victims in Ahmedabad, 17 were Hindus and 23 Muslims. Today, the Ahmedabad figures show that of the 90 people killed in police firing, 59 are Muslims and 31 Hindus. this means, of the 50 people killed in police firing in Ahmedabad in the second month, 36 are Muslims and only 14 Hindus. In other words, in the second month of violence, the percentage of Muslims falling to police bullets is a staggering 72 per cent. No wonder then that the minority community is expressing a completely lack of faith in the present police administration, especially in Ahmedabad. The police records also show that of the 523 places of worship damaged in the last two months of riots, 298 were dargahs, 205 mosques, 17 temples and three churches. Besides, of the total substantive arrests made by the police, 9,954 are Hindus and 4,035 Muslims. however, in the preventive arrests column, the statistics show that the number of Hindus arrested is much higher — 17,947 as against 3,616 Muslims. The police estimates also put the total property loss in the state at Rs 682 crore. However, while community-wise break-up of the damage is not available for Gujarat, the figures for ahmedabad are — Muslims, Rs 400 crore, and Hindus Rs 10 crore. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">On 2 May, law
minister Arun Jaitley told Parliament it was not true Muslims had been </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">targeted</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> </span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">by the Gujarat government. At the same
time, he refused to provide a religion-wise breakdown of those killed in police
firing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">He had good
reasons not to do so.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">For on the
same day, the police in Ahmedabad was admitting it had killed more Muslims than
Hindus in its ostensible attempts to stop what was clearly mob violence against
Muslims. ‘Of the 184 people who died in police firing since the violence began,
104 are Muslims, says a report drafted by Gujarat Police’, Vinay Menon of <i>Hindustan Times</i> reported (‘Cops admit
killing more Muslims’, 3 May 2002).’The statistic substantiates the allegation …
that not only did the local police not do anything to stop the Hindu mobs; they
actually turned their guns on the helpless Muslim victims’. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">For example,
on 28<sup> </sup>February, 40 men shot dead near the Bapunagar police station
in Ahmedabad were all Muslims, most shot in the head and chest. They had been
defending themselves from a 3000 - strong mob.(Janyala Sreenivas, ‘Who shot
them point blank?’, <i>Indian Express</i>, 9
April 2002).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Though the
number of Muslims and Hindus killed in police firing has been collated by the
Gujarat government, noted Menon,this has so far not been released. ‘Coming out
with the truth would only inflame the situation, it is feared’. The government
argues that in the first 72 hours of violence, more Hindus were killed in
police firing. State home minister Gorghan Zadaphia told Menon : ‘I have data
that shows more Hindus were killed till March 3, but it cannot be disclosed.’<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">By the third
week of May, 75 of the 105 killed by police firing in Ahmedabad were Muslims.’But
the real numbers,’ said Raveen Thukral, ‘are probably likely to be far larger :
major manipulations are alleged to have been done at the stage of carrying out
autopsies.’(‘The missing are dead, Gujarat toll may go up,’ <i>Hindustan Times</i>, 24 May 2002).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Gandhinagar: Two months after the riots began in gujarat, there is a perceptible change in the type of people falling prey to police bullets. The latest statistics available with the gujarat police show that more muslims have been killed in police firing in gujarat than hindus. Statistics made available by top sources in the police bhavan here show that out of the 170 persons killed in the state so far, 93 are muslims and 77 hindus. According to officials this was not the case in march when records suggested that 60 out of 100 killed in police firing were hindus and 40 were muslims. these damning statistics, which are also being sought by the national commission for minorities clearly show that of the 70 people killed in the second month of violence, an overwhelming 53 are muslims and only 17 hindus. This, police officials would claim, was a result of trying to control the 'muslim backlash' that was being talked about in the official circles. police officials said that the backlash could be especially seen in ahmedabad, where out of the total number of persons injured in stabbings, 62 are hindus and 30 muslims. the overall figures for gujarat of those injured in stabbings tell a different story, with 131 hindus and 179 muslims. the figures should be seen in the light of the community-wise break-up of total number of riot victims in gujarat. the break-up is available for 726 deaths in riots, which show that 552 muslims and 168 hindus, including the 59 godhra train victims, have been killed so far. it is significant that the maximum jump in police firing deaths of the two communities has taken place in ahmedabad, where right from the begining of the riots, the number of muslims falling to police bullets is disproportionately high. about a month back, out of the total of 40 police firing victims in ahmedabad, 17 were hindus and 23 muslims. today, the ahmedabad figures show that of the 90 people killed in police firing, 59 are muslims and 31 hindus. this means, of the 50 people killed in police firing in ahmedabad in the second month, 36 are muslims and only 14 hindus. in other words, in the second month of violence, the percentage of muslims falling to police bullets is a staggering 72 per cent. no wonder then that the minority community is expressing a completely lack of faith in the present police administration, especially in ahmedabad. the police records also show that of the 523 places of worship damaged in the last two months of riots, 298 were dargahs, 205 mosques, 17 temples and three churches. besides, of the total substantive arrests made by the police, 9,954 are hindus and 4,035 muslims. however, in the preventive arrests column, the statistics show that the number of hindus arrested is much higher — 17,947 as against 3,616 muslims. the police estimates also put the total property loss in the state at rs 682 crore. however, while community-wise break-up of the damage is not available for gujarat, the figures for ahmedabad are — muslims, rs 400 crore, and hindus rs 10 crore.</span></div>

<br /><span style="font-size: large;">More Muslims than Hindus died in firing by policemen</span><br /><a href="http://www.hindustantimes.com/Search/search.aspx?q=Mahesh%20Langa&op=auth">Mahesh Langa</a>, Hindustan Times Ahmedabad, February 19, 2012<br /><br />First Published: 23:27 IST(19/2/2012) | Last Updated: 01:37 IST(20/2/2012)<br /><br />The Narendra Modi-led Gujarat government does not acknowledge the Concerned Citizens Tribunal, but is on the same page with it on one facet of the 2002 riots in the state.<br /><br />More Muslims died in police firing during the riots than Hindus, show the government's statistics and the report of the tribunal headed by former Supreme Court judge justice VR Krishna Iyer.<br />According to the tribunal, which conducted its own probe into the massacres, this skewed body count defies logic because the riots were largely led by Hindus.<br />The casualty figures due to police firing vary too. The tribunal states 104 of the 184 people killed were Muslims. Government puts the death toll at 170 - 93 Muslims and 77 Hindus.<br />According to state government records, of more than 1,200 people killed in the riots, nearly 950 were Muslims. The riots had erupted after the torching of the Sabarmati Express near Godhra on February 27, 2002.<br /><br />Most of the 59 passengers killed in the train carnage were kar sevaks returning from Ayodhya.<br /><br />The tribunal said in its report of November 2002, "The shocking levels of police complicity in the Gujarat carnage cannot be over-emphasised… not only did the local police not do anything to stop the Hindu mobs; they actually turned their guns on the helpless Muslim victims."<br />In 2004, when Indian Police Service officer Rahul Sharma deposed before the Modi government-appointed Nanavati Commission probing the riots, he had said after more Hindus died in police firing than Muslims in Bhavnagar, Gordhan Zadaphia, the state's the then junior home minister, had asked him to maintain ratio.<br /><br />Sharma was the superintendent of police of Bhavnagar district during the riots.<br />According to Sharma, "Zadaphia had called, on March 16, 2002, and said that the toll in police firing in the district was weighted too heavily against the Hindu community as against the Muslims - at 5 to 1."<br />"I had explained to the minister that the casualty ratio in police firing depended on the composition of the mob… if 90% of the mob is Hindu, then obviously 90% of the casualty will be Hindus," he had deposed<br /><br /><br /><div class="sty_txt" id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_HTStoryPageControl_strytext" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">

ahmedabad: the saying, snatching life from the jaws of death, has ceased to be a cliche for 60-year-old debashis bhattacharya. death came menacingly close, like the flames in the s-6 coach of the ill-fated sabarmati express on february 27, which he boarded from lucknow, but got saved by the skin of his teeth. recuperating at a relative's place in nava wadaj here and still shattered, bhattacharya, probably one of the few survivors of coach s-6, recalls how he had to virtually choose the "manner of his impending death," which he thought had become certain then -- whether to stay back in the compartment and get burnt alive or crawl out of the coach through a broken window and face the stone-pelting, weapon-weilding mob. bhattacharya, a retired employee of a private sector firm in lucknow, knew the journey wasn't going to be a comfortable one, what with a large number of ram sevaks boarding the train at the lucknow station. "in rudiyali, close to lucknow, we had our first brush with stone-pelting," says bhattacharya. luck ran out for the sabarmati express at godhra station. "like at every other station, the ram sevaks had got down on the platform on wednesday morning, shouting jai shri ram slogans, even breaking into an improptu dance." but, bhattacharya realised that all was not well at godhra when we saw the ram sevaks scurrying in and barking at fellow passengers to pull the shutters down as the train pulled out of the station. "i realised that there must have been some trouble on the platform. the people getting in looked tense," said bhattacharya. the train came to a screeching halt about a km from the station. and, then began defeaning sounds of stones banging on the steel body of the coach. "it went on without a stop. soon, people began breaking open the windows and stones were flying in. i managed to crawl under my berth and shielded myself with my suitcase. i could hear defeaning roars of 'mar dalo sabko' and 'ek ko bachne nahi denge'," says bhattacharya. but soon, bhattacharya realised he was safe no longer. he smelt something burning and smoke was crawling up to him. he bagan choking. "i saw a broken window. its bars had also been twisted apart." he had not missed the irony. "the attack itself had actually opened up a way for me," bhattacharya said. "at that moment, it was a choice between the devil and the deep sea. the flames were leaping up close to me. i would have been engulfed in them or asphyxiated if i stayed back. the other choice was to climb out of the window and face the rampaging mob. i chose the latter," he said. he even tried to get his fellow passenger, a young boy, to climb out with him. but, the boy did not stir. when bhattacharya, a thin man, wiggled out of the window, the mob had thinned on that side. he later realised that he had spent almost an hour inside that train. as he waited on the troubled spot, with the mob slowly dispersing, he heard the ram sevaks, grouping back, baying for revenge. the man who saw death in the eye feels, in hindshight, that "it couldn't have been a spontaneous reaction." "the train had hardly moved a km out of the station. and, from the intensity of the noise of stones hitting the coach, i knew the crowd was massive. in all probability, the word may have come from rudiyali itself," he says. however, he has no clue what triggered the incident. he has a vague explanation why his coach, s-6, was targetted -- the reason according to him being that it had the highest number of young and vociferous ram sevaks. but bhattacharya certainly knows that mandir or no mandir, "lord ram has given me a new lease of life."</div>

ahmedabad: they have lost someone close in the senseless violence, but they are not letting that affect their sense of right and wrong. they want peace, not revenge. "i am extremely disturbed over what is happening in our area. i had pleaded with folded hands to all who came to my son's cremation to please restrain themselves and maintain peace", govind makwana told times news network on the day of <span style="border: 0px; font-style: italic; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">besna</span> of his only son umakant, 22, who was burnt alive on board the sabarmati express. but naroda-patia is tense after a 5,000-strong mob burnt not less than 65 people alive to avenge the godhra killings. the mob in the area was especially enraged over the the death of umakant, and it is said that what happened in naroda-patia was because of that. "killing other people is not the solution. losing a son is shattering, and i want no father or mother to suffer from this feeling," pleaded govindbhai. rajendra singh thakur and his father were among the few who managed to escape death at godhra railway station. they had miraculously crawled out alive from the blazing s6 compartment of the ill-fated sabarmati express, and would like to put the gory incident behind them. vengeance is not on their agenda and with a good reason too. "my 17-year-old brother ramesh is no more. he could not get out of the train in time. my father and i walked out in utter confusion hoping that ramesh would already have got out. but, he's not more," whispered thakur looking remorsefully at his bandaged right arm. the youth has almost lost his voice due to the fumes inside the burning train. thakur now waits in the burns ward of civil hospital of ahmedabad for the tension to die down before he can leave for his home in the kadi area. he said, "i know now how much it pains to lose a dear one to mindless communal violence. i will not want the same fate for anyone else. only the innocent like us get hurt."</div>

AHMEDABAD: Appearing before an investigation commission, two eyewitnesses of the 2002 Godhra train carnage contradicted the "conspiracy theory" propagated by Gujarat government and investigative agencies.</div>

Ramnaresh Ramnihar Gupta from Uttar Pradesh and Veerpal Chhedilal Pal from Vapi in south Gujarat, whom were had travelled in the S-6 Coach that was burnt down, appeared before the commission of Justices G.T. Nanavati and K.G. Shah.</div>

According to Veerpal, who was present in the coach when it caught fire, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) activists were behaving "very rudely" with passengers and others.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
"I didn't get tea when I got down at the Godhra station. When the train stopped first time, a Muslim tea vendor got in. I asked him to fetch me tea, but the karsevaks (VHP activists) shouted not to take it from a Muslim. They forced the vendor out of the coach," Pal told the commission.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
"To me harassing the tea vendor appears a reason for the attack on the S-6 Coach. Why didn't they target any other coach?" he added.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
It was after misbehaving with the tea vendor that the stone throwing on the coach began, according to Pal.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
While a mob of the minority community pelted stones at the Sabarmati Express in Godhra, 140 km from here, the S-6 Coach also caught fire, killing 59 passengers - majority of them being VHP activists.</div>

<page2 style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The gruesome event led to state-wide communal violence, which claimed at least 1,000 lives. The two-member commission is investigating the Godhra tragedy and the ensuing violence.</page2></div>

According to Gupta, smoke was coming out from the train toilet side and visibility was decreasing.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
"The door at the off side (away from the platform) was open and I managed to get down with my seven nephews. I did not see anybody trying to set fire from inside.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
"I did not see fire when I was inside. When I came out, I could see fire. It began from the connecting portion of the two coaches at the driver's side," said Gupta.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
From the deposition of the two witnesses, it appeared that the incident was spontaneous, said Mukul Sinha, a lawyer with Jan Sangharsh Manch, a human rights group.</div>

<page3 style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">"The witnesses clearly said that they didn't see anybody burning the coach from within. This doesn't go along with the conspiracy theory put forth by the prosecution which has argued that Muslims got on the train with inflammable liquid and put the coach on fire," Sinha told reporters.</page3></div>

==========================<br />
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; width: 100%px;"><tbody>
<tr><td valign="top"><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, Verdana; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">What exactly transpired between ASM Meena and the mob?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, Verdana; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Meena is silent on the issue in his statement to the police. TEHELKA’s undercover reporter decided to meet him posing as a research scholar. Meena — not aware that he was talking to a journalist or being recorded — said that when he came down and asked the mob why they were chasing the train, a few people from the mob replied that one of their people had been abducted by the karsevaks on the train. Meena also said that he heard a few in the mob suggesting that the coach be set on fire to drive people out of the coach so they could recover their person. But he saw no swords, any other sharp weapon or inflammable material being carried by the mob. On the contrary, according to him, the mob mainly consisted of women and children carrying sticks and pelting stones.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, Verdana; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong>TINDERBOX: </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong><em>A jam-packed coach S-6 is a waiting death trap</em></strong><br /><br />By all accounts, S-6 was bursting at its seams. The number of passengers in the coach was at least three times its normal capacity. According to eyewitnesses there were about 250 passengers. The doors and windows were completely shut. Further, to prevent the mob from forcing their way into the compartment, the passengers had blocked all the doors with their luggage.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, Verdana; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">As one of the survivors of S-6, army personnel Govindsingh Rajput says, “I and three or four other people opened a door on the right side of the coach with great effort because to prevent the people outside from opening the doors, passengers had blocked the doors on both sides of the coach with their luggage.”</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, Verdana; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Laltakumar Jadhav corroborates this. “Karsevaks, Bajrang Dal activists and other passengers of the coach had assembled their baggage near the doors of the coach and to see that nobody could enter the coach.”</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, Verdana; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Outside, having tried unsuccessfully to dissuade the mob from attacking the train, the frightened Meena ran back to Cabin A. His colleague Sharma, the only other person present in the cabin, never stepped out. In his police statement, Meena said: “I was frightened and came running back to Cabin A. I asked Akhil Kumar Sharma to close all the doors and windows of the cabin. Sharma had already informed the DSS (Deputy Station Superintendent) Godhra and Vadodara control room on the railway phone that the Sabarmati Express was being pelted by stones to a great extent by a mob. After informing the RPF , the phone started ringing and I and Sharma started replying the same.”</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, Verdana; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Inside the train too, no one could quite make out what was happening outside.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, Verdana; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">As Pande, the army man, and another co-passenger Rajendrasingh Rajput have testified, the karsevaks and Bajrang Dal activists had got everybody in coach S-6 to shut the doors and windows, so neither Pande nor Rajput could see what was happening outside the coach.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, Verdana; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This was the case with most of the coaches. Saburbhai Parmar, a karsevak who was traveling in a general compartment, says in his police statement, “As there was stone throwing we had closed the windows and doors and sat inside the coach… I was frightened and did not see any person.” Another karsevak in a general compartment, Sanjay Sukhadiya, says the same. “I had seen a mob of about 1,000 to 1,500 persons pelting stones at the train and coming nearer and nearer. We ramsevaks were all frightened and had not opened the windows and doors.”</span></div>

Passengers aboard S-6 too first saw the smoke and then the fire. This is what Pande, the army man, said in his statement on 1 April, 2002: “Members of Bajrang Dal and other passengers were shouting and hiding the women and children below the last seat. After 10 to 15 minutes, all of a sudden smoke erupted from seat number 72 and within some time flames were seen. I and three or four other people who were sitting on the upper seat got down and opened the door on the right side of the coach with great effort because to prevent the people outside from opening the doors, passengers had blocked the doors on both sides of the coach with their luggage. Some other people and karsevaks also alighted from the coach.”</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Rajendrasingh Rajput, also travelling in S-6 with his father, said, “A mob of about 100 to 150 people in the northern direction were throwing stones at the train. The people in this mob were armed with pipes, dhariyas and swords. As I came out through the window, they hit me on my leg, shoulder and hands with pipes and stones. My father had felt suffocated by the smoke in the coach. I had also sustained burn injuries on both my hands and ears. Thereafter, people from Godhra had taken me and my father to the Godhra civil hospital.”</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, Verdana; font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">After getting down from the train, Pande says he saw “boys of 15 to 16 years of age taking rounds around the train. They were armed with iron rods and knives. On seeing them, I ran for about 70 to 80 feet. Then some of them surrounded me. By that time, I had sustained some injuries on my right hand due to the stone throwing. The boys were shouting, “Maaro… maaro.” I told the boys I was an army man. They asked for proof. I pulled out my warrant from my pocket. One boy, after seeing my warrant, told the others I was an army man and nobody should beat me. The other boys then asked for my name. The said boy read out my name, upon which the other boys said I was a Hindu and one of them hit me with an iron rod on my head. My head started bleeding and I felt dizzy. Then, the said boy, after driving away the other boys, dropped me on the main road.”</span></div>

Nor did they see coach S-6 being set on fire. Satish Misra, a businessman in Vadodara who was travelling back with his family from Sultanpur in Uttar Pradesh on S-6, and who lost his wife in the blaze, says, “Upon hearing that there was stone pelting on the coach, we had closed the windows and doors... As there were fumes of smoke on account of the fire I could not see any people pelting stones or who set the coach on fire.”</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, Verdana;">
<div style="font-size: 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Four among the surviving karsevaks of coach S-6, — Amrutbhai Patel, Dineshbhai Patel, Rambhai Patel and Nitinbhai Patel, all residents of Mehsana, all of whom had gone to give ahuti at the Ramjap Yagna at Ayodhya — too have stated in their first statements, recorded on March 8, 2002, that they had not seen anybody carrying inflammable material or setting the coach on fire. They said that they fell unconscious because of the smoke inside the coach.<br />The only people who claim to have seen the mob carrying inflammable material are some of the karsevaks in S-6 who survived and karsevaks in other coaches. Interestingly, all these karsevaks admit that they had shut the doors and windows of their coaches because of the heavy stone pelting, yet in the same breath they claim they saw the mob armed with all kinds of inflammable material.</span></div>

For Satish K Sinha, February 27, 2002 marks his rebirth. Sinha, who currently works with the Gas Authority of India Limited (GAIL) in <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Delhi" style="border: 0px; color: rgb(51, 103, 151) !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Delhi</a>, came out unscathed of the burning Sabarmati Express train at the Godhra station. "Chilling memories of those tense moments are still fresh in my mind... Even today, cries of people burning inside the S-6 sleeper coach reverberate in my ears," says Sinha, a resident of Masaurhi village on the outskirts of Patna.</div>

<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
At least 58 pilgrims were charred to death in the coach set afire by a mob, an event that sparked off the Gujarat riots of 2002, which saw hundreds being pitilessly massacred.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Recounting the horror, Sinha says, "I was then posted at Vijaypur, near Guna, in Madhya Pradesh. On an official trip to Baroda, I boarded the overcrowded train at Ruthai, the nearest railway station, around 9 pm on February 26. I was alone on the berth when the train reached Godhra around 7.20 am. After 10 minutes, it chugged off but stopped soon as someone had pulled the alarm chain. The train moved again after 10 minutes when we heard shouts of "maaro, maaro" from outside. Scared, everyone downed the window shutters."</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
According to Sinha, the train halted again, and he could hear his coach being pelted with stones and lathis. It seemed to go on endlessly when he suddenly saw smoke billowing into his coach. "Out of sheer panic, I lifted my briefcase and rushed towards the exit. I saw a mob of over 500 lathiwielding people outside the S-6 coach," Sinha says, and adds that he made an about turn towards the other exit and "just jumped off the train".</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
With prayers on his lips, Sinha started walking on the railway track. It was only after a few minutes that he dared turn back and look. He saw flames leaping out of the S-6 coach, which is when he started running and eventually reached the Ahmedabad highway, about two km away, from where he took a bus to Dakor and from there another bus to Baroda.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Those were days when mobile phones were not common possessions and it was Sinha's office that informed his wife, panicky after watching the news on TV in Patna, about his safety. During his half-an-hour talk with TOICrest , Sinha must have thanked the almighty at least ten times for "guiding me away from death that tragic morning" .</div>

AHMEDABAD: The countdown to the Godhra carnage case trial where 59 'kar sevaks' died, has begun but the most plausible theory of how the S-6 coach of the Sabarmati Express on February 27 last year may have been set on fire, has been disputed by a bonafide passenger who saw and survived it all.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Hariprasad Joshi (51), a Nepali passenger, was travelling with his wife Devika, from Lucknow to Ahmedabad in S-6 with a reservation on seat no 41 and 44, and claims to have seen no petrol or inflammable fluid being poured from the seat number 72 end of the coach to set it ablaze.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="float" style="border: 0px; clear: both; font-size: 14px; height: 1px; line-height: 1px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="" height="1" src="http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/images/pixel.gif" style="border: 0px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="1" /></div>
<div class="mod-timesofindiaarticletextwithadcpc mod-timesofindiaarticletext mod-articletext" id="mod-a-body-after-first-para" style="border: 0px; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px 10px 0px 0px;">
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
He witnessed the entire sequence of events in an effort to save his wife who died in the coach that day. Terming the theories floated by the police about petrol being poured into the coach as, "humbug," Joshi who works as an office superintendent in the Income-tax department says, it was burning rags tied on stones which were pelted into the coach and set it on fire.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Interestingly, Joshi has given his testimony before the police twice, the last being in June last year, which was appended to the supplementary chargesheet. In an interview to TNN, Joshi said that he had gone to Nepal for the first death anniversary of his father-in-law and was returning without any knowledge about the movement of the 'kar sevaks'.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
He says, the entire train was inter-connected with all the vestibule doors open, which also counters the fact that the vestibule door between S-6 and S-7 was forced open to let the attackers inside.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
At Godhra station, "I saw 'kar sevaks' armed with 'trishuls' and hockey sticks moving about in groups and shouting slogans like 'Jai Shri Ram' " Joshi remembers seeing the hockey sticks and 'trishuls' even in the coach. According to him, it was because of a window near seat number 38 which refused to close, that allowed the burning rags inside the compartments.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
"First, the rexine seats caught fire and then the airbags and other soft luggage which fuelled the flames after that there was only smoke since the coach was sealed and oxygen levels had reduced," he says. Joshi describes how the passengers all queued up to get out from the door on the seat 72 side of the coach and he was the last one with Devika before him.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
"But when the smoke got unbearable, I tried unbuttoning my coat but collapsed on the floor and suddenly found myself breathing, because the smoke was moving upwards," he says. Realising that the crowd of some 150 passengers on the 72-side would take long to clear, "I crawled on the opposite direction towards seat number 1 and suddenly some people who were locked in the bathroom here, emerged and open the door on the 'A' cabin side," he says.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Joshi escaped from here, but the draught of fresh air fuelled the burning rags and "I saw tongues of flames abruptly emerging from the coach." Once outside, "I rushed to the 72 side to look for my wife but everything had gone quiet, people had asphyxiated and fainted and I saw their bodies catching fire."</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Recounting the events since February 25, 2002, Joshi was surprised to find that his train was four hours late at Lucknow station and arrived at 1 am, packed with rowdy passengers who refused to let them in. When finally inside, after some argument, they vacated berth no 43 on the top for them.</div>

Bela's mother-in-law, <span style="color: red;">Sudhaben (75)</span>, was one of the Ramsevaks who were killed in the Sabarmati Express fire. Sudhaben went to Ayodhya as part of the VHP's delegation from Ramol in Ahmedabad. The trip was a freebie - all expenses paid. Each VHP worker in Ramol sent a family member as part of the Ramsevak contingent. Around 11 victims of the Godhra violence were from Ramol.....Her neighbour, <span style="color: red;">Bharatbhai Panchal, who lost his wife</span> in the Sabarmati Express tragedy, agrees. "The BJP utilised this opportunity cleverly to win seats. It took advantage of the public sympathy," he says. "Even now it continues to foment trouble. At a public meeting on the eve of the February 16 municipal elections , a speaker suggested that we retaliate for what happened in Godhra. That is all that the BJP has done for the past year. Now the leaders should let us live in peace," says Bharatbhai. <a href="http://www.frontlineonnet.com/fl2005/stories/20030314003004200.htm">Ref</a> 6</span><br />

In an embarrassing development for the ruling BJP in Gujarat, some relatives of the Godhra train carnage today alleged being ‘‘pressured’’ by party and VHP workers and demanded shifting of the Nanavati Commission of inquiry outside the state as they had ‘‘no faith’’ in the Narendra Modi government.
The allegation comes even as an NHRC petition demanding shifting of trial in the Best Bakery case outside Gujarat on the plea that the kin of the post-Godhra riot victims were being ‘‘pressured’’ by BJP leaders is pending before the Supreme Court.
Addressing mediapersons here, the relatives of the victims, under the aegis of city based NGO — Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP) alleged that the BJP and VHP had ‘used’ them for political gains and said they felt abandoned. They also appealed to the public not to participate in the forthcoming Ayodhya Yatra organised by the BJP and VHP on October 15.
‘‘The BJP had taken our family members to Ayodhya and assured of bringing them back safely. Why were they sent back without none of the BJP members accompanying them,’’ asked 82-year-old Girish Rawal, whose wife <span style="color: red;">Sudha</span> was killed in the carnage and son Ashwin was stabbed in post-Godhra violence. The BJP and VHP sponsored Ayodhya Yatra was ‘‘politically motivated’’, he alleged.
<span style="color: red;">Prakash Chodagar and Sharad Mhatre, both of whom lost their wives in the carnage</span>, alleged they were ‘‘pressurised’’ by BJP leader Jaykant Dave during inquiry by the Nanavati Commission to ‘‘keep our mouth shut’’ and the party functionaries themselves deposed posing as representatives of the victims’ families.
The victims also lamented that 19 months after the carnage, they were still struggling to get compensation from the state government. <a href="http://www.indianexpress.com/storyOld.php?storyId=32874">Ref</a> 7</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">VADODARA: Identities of nine more persons killed in the Sabarmati Express carnage on February 27 were ascertained in the DNA tests conducted by the Forensic Sciences Laboratory (FSL). A Godhra court, meanwhile, ordered that the properties of 33 absconding accused should be attached.
Gujarat Railway Police (GRP) officials said on Wednesday that the court order on an application moved by the investigating agencies had arrived on Wednesday. "The order asked officials of the revenue department, RTO and others to begin the process of attaching the properties," said GRP deputy superintendent of police Noel Parmar.
The application was moved under section 83 of the CrPC by the agencies after the accused did not present themselves to the investigating agencies and evaded arrest. They were earlier declared absconding. The names include some of the prime accused like Razak Kurkur and Salim Hazi, said Parmar.
Meanwhile, GRP officials said the DNA test results of samples of nine of the 19 bodies sent to the FSL had arrived. All the nine persons were travelling in the S-6 coach of Sabarmati Express.
GRP superintendent of police J K Bhatt said six of the nine persons identified had reserved tickets for the journey. Three others were children travelling with their parents without ticket.
Bhatt said with this identities of 49 of the 59 deceased had been established. "Now we know that 10 of the deceased identified so far were bonafide passengers of the train. We expect that four of the deceased not identified so far may also be reserved ticket holders," Bhatt added.
The list of the nine persons identified by FSL include <span style="color: red;">Ramlakhan Singh (35), his wife Sushila (30) as well as their children Priya (5) and Rohit (2).</span> The test also identified <span style="color: red;">Sushiladevi Bhagwatiprasad (25) as well as her two children Pratima (7) and Preeti (3)</span>. Others include <span style="color: red;">Chhotelal Ramkirpal Bari (30) and Govindshankar Harishankar Bari (32)</span>.Ref 15</span></div>

<small>VADODARA: Many may find the decision by Satish Kumar Mishra, a <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Survivor" style="border: 0px; color: rgb(51, 103, 151) !important; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">survivor</a> and a witness of the Sabarmati Express carnage at Godhra, to travel by the same train on the 10th anniversary of the carnage on February 27, 2012, for his daughter's wedding curious. But equally curious is the case of his wife who is technically missing since the carnage on February 27, 2002, that left 59 dead.</small></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<small>Mishra recalls how he had boarded the ill-fated S-6 coach of the Sabarmati Express at Lucknow. When the coach was set ablaze at Godhra, Mishra, his wife Mangla and daughter Archana were on the berth numbers 33, 34 and 35 of the train.</small></div>

<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<small>Mishra says that he ran to a part of the train where the flames were less and forced open rods of the window there. "I helped my daughter Archana and others out of the coach. Utter confusion had prevailed at that time. I did not push my wife out of that window like others. When I got down, she was not there near the coach," Mishra says.</small></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<small>Recalling what had transpired on that day, Mishra said that he and his daughter were taken to the Godhra Civil Hospital by policemen for treatment. "I had severe burns on my hands and scalp. Archana was, however, not injured," he says adding that later on the same day he was shifted to the SSG Hospital at Vadodara.</small></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<small>Till this time there was no trace of his wife. Mishra said that it was only later when he made inquiries at Godhra that he came to know that records at the out patient department (OPD) mentioned that his wife Mangla had been treated there. "The records also show that she was taken to the ward where burns patients were being treated," he said.</small></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<small>But after this there has been no trace of his wife. Mishra believes that she died in the tragedy. "There is no chance of her survival. I saw her fall on the floor in the burning coach," he claims.</small></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<small>Mishra filed a petition in the railways tribunal at Ahmedabad to claim compensation and has been granted the same. Mishra says he was not aware of the state government's policy of presuming that the missing persons were dead and awarding them compensation. He applied for the compensation only in 2008. <a href="http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-02-15/vadodara/31062416_1_carnage-archana-s-6">Ref 19</a></small></div>

BASANT RAWAT </span></small></span></span></small></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ahmedabad, March 9: When 59 people died after the Sabarmati Express was set on fire at Godhra last year, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad was quick to claim that all were kar sevaks</span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some of the victims' relatives now deny they had anything to do with the VHP.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Railway minister Nitish Kumar said last week a list of those killed would be placed in Parliament shortly, more than a year after the incident.
One of the victims was <span style="color: red;">Sharyuben Mhatre,</span> a housewife, whose husband says she had no links with the VHP or its women's wing, the Durga Vahini. "My wife knew nothing about the activities of the VHP," stresses Sharad Mhatre.
The 38-year-old was a devout Hindu who regularly visited the nearby temple, where some local VHP workers organised bhajan-kirtan to build up the tempo for the Ram temple movement.
On February 22, the day the first batch of kar sevaks left for Ayodhya, he got a call from Sharyu in his office. She announced that she was going to Ayodhya with neighbour <span style="color: red;">Amiben Prakash</span>. The VHP, she said, had arranged for the travel.
Sharad recalls VHP workers coming to his house two days before his wife left. They had asked Sharyu to fill a form expressing her interest to visit Ayodhya. He had advised her against it, and didn't suspect she wanted to go.
"They (Sharyu and Amiben) filled the form when I was in office," Sharad says. "I could do nothing because they had been made to believe that the purnahuti yagna was important and many sadhus would bless the congregation.''
Sharyu and Amiben burnt to death in coach S-6 on February 28, 2002. A year later, Sharad lives with the regret of having let his wife have her way.
<span style="color: red;">Arvindaben Sukla</span>, from Janata Nagar Ramol, was another victim. She was a religious 72-year-old, whose son Kiritbhai blames the VHP for telling Arvindaben she would be able to perform puja in Ayodhya.
His mother had nothing to do with the Sangh outfit, Kiritbhai underlines.
The municipal employee, who lives in a chawl at Janata Nagar that lost 10 residents in the carnage, flashes a newspaper clipping quoting VHP leaders as saying they were caring for the families of all Godhra victims.
"The VHP leaders claimed that the families of the victims were getting regular ration and their leaders were visiting the aggrieved families regularly. The reality is that not a single VHP leader came to console us. It all turned out to be false propaganda by the VHP," Kiritbhai said.
<span style="color: red;">Manibhai Dave </span>was a 54-year-old pharmacist and government employee with a monthly salary of Rs 7,000. He would shuttle between Ahmedabad and Dholka, where he worked. He was neither as gullible nor as religious as Sharyu or Arvindaben.
It was his 13-year-old son, Yogeshwar, who would attend RSS shakhas. Spurred by his son's involvement with the RSS, Manibhai applied for leave and left for Ayodhya. He was not a VHP member.
Manibhai's death has devastated daughter Chhaya, who quit her studies to work as a nurse for Rs 800 a month. Much like her father, she travels 10 km from Kubernagar to her workplace.
A year after her father's death, Chhaya has no time to grieve. As the breadwinner, she has to worry about earning a decent living. "I was told I will get the job in place of my father,'' she says. But that doesn't look easy. "There is a technical problem. My father died while he was on leave. That is getting difficult to sort out," Chhaya says.</span></pre>

<small><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Patel was being examined by Justice GT Nanavati and Justice KG Shah Commission of Inquiry into the Godhra incident and its aftermath, on Thursday. The number of Ramsevaks travelling in coach S-6, according to him, were between 200 and 300. He also stated that when the train stopped at Godhra station on arrival, he saw a crowd of over a 1,000 persons. But there was no stonethrowing then, he added.</span></small><br />
<small><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The stone pelting took place when the train stopped again and lasted for some half-an-hour, he claimed. He remembered having climbed on the upper berth immediately after that.</span></small><br />
<small><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sadhu had stated on Wednesday that she had seen fire and clouds of smoke coming out of it in the coach, while Patel contradicted this and said, "I did not see any fire nor anyone trying to torch the coach."</span></small><br />
<small><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He also negated his own statement recorded earlier by the police where he had said that he escaped by jumping out of the window. He instead claimed, "I bolted from the door."</span></small><br />
<small><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Patel also claimed to have seen a teavendor coming inside his coach at Godhra but could not recollect any fight having taken place between the passengers and the vendors.</span></small><br />
<small><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dwarikabhai Patel, another fellow traveller, stated that glass panes of the windows broke down after the stone throwing and so the metal shutters were closed.</span></small><br />
<small><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He too contradicted his police statement, where he had said that he had seen people pouring liquid and setting the coach afire. He said it was the information that he had gathered later but had not witnessed the incident himself. He also claimed to have learnt later that there had been a scuffle between the Ramsevaks and vendors.</span></small><br />
<small><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yet another passenger Jayantibhai Patel, testified almost on the same lines. He said, he was chanting mantras and so he never asked anyone as to why had the train stopped.</span></small><br />
<small><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Carnage survivors have negated their own statements given to the police. One of them, who had earlier said that he saw people pouring liquid and setting the coach on fire, later said he had not witnessed the incident.</span></small><br />

<div align="justify">
AHMEDABAD: A passenger of the S-6 coach of the Sabarmati Express told the G.T. Nanavati - K.G. Shah judicial inquiry commission, probing the Godhra train carnage and the post-Godhra communal riots in Gujarat, here on Saturday that a Muslim tea vendor was "thrown'' out of the coach at the Godhra railway station by kar sevaks travelling in the coach.</div>
<div align="justify">
Virpal Chedilal, who was travelling in the train with his wife and daughter-in-law, told the commission that he and some other passengers were prevented by kar sevaks from taking tea from the vendor just because he was a Muslim. The vendor was "bundled out'' of the coach by the slogan-shouting kar sevaks which he believed could have sparked off the disturbances. He said that when the train had halted at the Godhra platform, he had got down to buy some snacks and at that time "everything looked normal'' and there was no tension.</div>
<div align="justify">
He said all through the journey up to Godhra, the kar sevak's behaviour with other passengers and railway officials was "very very bad and rude.'' Another passenger, Ram Naresh Gupta, also told the commission that though he had five confirmed berths in the adjoining S-7 coach, he was rudely turned down by the kar sevaks who had occupied them, and he and his family had to travel sitting at the narrow passage adjacent to the lavatory in S-6 coach.</div>
<div align="justify">
Both Mr. Virpal Chedial and Mr. Gupta were late entrants on the list of witnesses who were included at the request of the State Government. Both of them claimed that they had smelt heavy smoke "possibly emanating from burning petrol-like substance,'' but both admitted to having not seen anyone pouring inflammable fluid inside the compartment. Neither of them had either seen the fire till they managed to disembark from the coach nor had any idea how the fire started. But both of them were convinced that in the packed coach, carrying not less than 250 passengers, it was not possible for anyone to ignite a stove. Mr. Gupta said he heard some noise which could be caused by breaking of some "glass bottles'' but had no idea from where they came and what these contained.</div>
<div align="justify">
Mr. Virpal, whose daughter-in-law is still "missing,'' said he had submitted an application at the Godhra railway station the next day about his daughter-in-law but so far the police had not found any trace of her. He was not aware of the inquest made on the bodies of the dead passengers nor was he shown the bodies to identify his missing daughter-in-law. At Godhra, he was told to go to Sola civil hospital in Ahmedabad where the bodies were kept but when he approach it on March 1, he was told that he was "too late'' and the bodies had already been disposed of. But neither the list of the dead passengers included his daughter-in-law nor in the DNA test of the bodies her death was confirmed. But in the last three and a half years he and the police had not been able to trace his daughter-in-law, he said.</div>
<div align="justify">
The then inspector general of police, Vadodara range, which included Godhra region, Deepak Swaroop, told the commission that Chief Minister Narendra Modi insisted on visiting the burnt coach and the yard where the bodies were kept, even after he was informed about the "charged atmosphere and communal tension'' in the area following the incident. The police had a hard time to bring him out safely after being "mobbed'' by the local people when he visited the yard. He admitted that Mr. Modi had to return from Godhra by road because it had already become too dark for his helicopter to fly. Mr. Swaroop's testimony apparently give lie to the claims made earlier that he had returned by helicopter and could not have attended a meeting of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad at Lunavada, near Godhra, where the "revenge'' against Muslims during the "Gujarat Bandh'' the next day was allegedly planned. Mr. Swaroop's cross-examination is yet to be incompleted.<br />

<small><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Sri Hari Prasad Joshi happens to be a Central Government employee in the Income Tax Department appeared before the Committee and narrated his experience as below:-</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Sri Joshi was traveling from Lucknow to Ahmedabad and boarded the train on 25th night – whereas the scheduled time was around 21.00 hrs., the train was late about 4 hrs. He has been rather specific that he had a reservation from Lucknow but the coach was over-crowded and with very great effort he could go inside the coach and once inside the coach he found 3 – 4 persons were sleeping on every berth but since he had a reservation he went to his seat and asked those fellows who were sleeping on his berth to get up because the seat was reserved for him; the occupants, however, replied in the negative and after a long argument eventually offered them the top-most berth and he and his wife were asked to occupy that berth – it was, however in the S-6 coach. The situation like that, however continued for sometime but in Madhya Pradesh some passengers got down and Sri Joshi could manage two upper-berths for he and his wife. When the train arrived at Godhra, he got down in order to obtain some tea but as and when he boarded the train he was advised to close down the shutter of the window as there may be pelting of stones and after sometime stone pelting started quite heavily. Sri Joshi thereafter stated that immediately after the train started from the platform there was a chain pulling and after a short-while when the train started moving again it stopped further for the second time and stone pelting was much more heavier and there was a lot of crowd there. The train at that point of time was absolutely over-crowded and there were about 20-25 people standing inside the cubicle and there were shouting that the train was on fire. People at that point of time started getting down from the train and Joshis were also waiting for their turn but by that time the smoke was so thick that they were having tremendous amount of breathing problem. As a matter Sri Joshi fell down on the floor and located some place obviously on the floor where he could breath and that breathing helped him out from his choking sensation. The next bit of his evidence is rather significant as well as important and the undersigned feels it expedient to record it as it is.</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Q.13 Then what happened?</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">A.13………..Then, I , crawled towards the door, which was open and then came out after crawling the entire distance in the coach itself.”</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">After however, coming out of the coach, he realized that his wife was also inside and when he went near the window where they were sitting he saw his wife in a very difficult situation for breathing and them he told her to come out but she could not come out and she got choked to death and she fell down. This happened in his presence and he saw his wife falling down on the floor and thereafter whosoever died they were suffocated to death and upon seeing people coming out, those who were pelting stones left the place.</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Subsequently, the train was shunted to the sick line and bodies were taken out and out of 58 bodies, he could identify his wife’s body inspite of the fact that there were very great difficulty in identification since they were totally charred. The bodies were taken to Ahmedabad Civil Hospital by trucks and about 14 to 16 bodies were kept in one truck. There were 5 trucks carrying those bodies and Sri Joshi also accompanied the bodies in one of the truck driver’s cabin. The trucks did leave Godhra around 23.00 hrs. and reached Ahmedabad around at 4.00 hrs. in the morning of 28th February. The body was identified by him and it was burnt mainly on the upper portion and tow upper limbs were not there and her head was also totally burnt and charred and the entire injury was on the upper portion and it is thereafter the hospital authority arranged for an ambulance for shifting the bodies and they brought the body of his wife to his house at Ahmedabad.</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The next portion of his evidence is also rather significant when he stated that there was no fire as such inside the coach but there was heavy smoke by reason of which he had been very severe choking sensation but could come out of the coach only after crawling on the floor. Sri Joshi further stated that he had seen some passengers with head bands inscribed with ‘Jai Mata Di’ and ‘ Jai Sri Ram’ and they were carrying Trishuls with them and most of the passengers were the persons having their head bands and Trishuls and there were some other persons other than those may be about 10% while 90% were head bands and 10% were ordinary passengers like him. It has been a definite statement that he could see fire only when he came out but it was only smoke as long as he was inside the coach. He had not suffered much of an injury as a matter of fact his hair was to some extent got singed and he felt burning sensation on his face.</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Another aspect of the matter need to be delved into at this juncture as regards the statement of Hari Prasad Joshi and the undersigned feels it expedient to note the relevant extracts of his evidence on this significant count.</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Q.30 Do you think that most of the people died because of asphyxia?</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">A.30 Yes that is so because I was standing near the window for the safety of my wife and I could hear the cries for help, but within two or three minutes, all became quiet and it is thereafter only flames were seen and not at any earlier point of time.</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Q.31 Did you see the fire?</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">A.31 No. I did not see the fire.</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Q.32 When you got down from the train, where were you on the yard side or the platform side?</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">A.32 On the yard side and not on the platform side.</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Q.33 You said that you were having a choking sensation. Did you get any smell?</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">A.33 Yes, I could smell as if some plastic is burning or some Rexene is burning.</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Q.34 When you came out of coach and saw the fire, was there any effort on the part of the officials of the Railways and Civil authorities to come and help you out?</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">A.34 When I came out, I did not find anybody for any rescue operation either from the Railways or from Civil authority.</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Q.35 How long you were standing there?</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">A.35 I was standing there for about five to seven minutes, but after I saw my wife falling down on the floor, and thereafter the flame engulfed the coach I was so upset I could not stand there any further and I sat down at a distance from the coach.</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Q.36 Did you see any fire brigade people in and around the train?</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">A.36 Yes. I saw two fire engines, which arrived at the spot.</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Q.37 Were they able to extinguish the fire?</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">A.37 No, the fire brigade staffs were running short of water, and they had to go twice or thrice to bring water, but in the mean time, the coach caught fire in a much bigger way and the entire coach was totally under the grip of fire.</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Q.38 Up to what time the fire continued?</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">A.38 I am not in apposition to tell you but it continued for quite sometime since the fire brigade people were going to get further water and they were taking quite a long time to come back and thereafter trying to douse the fire upon obtaining water and in that way they were going out and coming in with water but the fire continued unabated.</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Q.39 Can you tell us if the fire brigade functioned as per the normal expectation of the people this coach could have been saved from being burnt?</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">A.39 If there was timely intervention and the working of fire brigade would have been more effective, then probably the loss could not have been so much as it has happened in the present case in coach S-6.</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Q.40 Can you tell me as to the place from where they were bringing the water?</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">A.40 No, I do not have any idea but they were taking quite a long time to come back and obviously thus getting water from a distant place.</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Q.41 If it is said that the fire brigade did get water from a nearby well, would that be a wrong statement?</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">A.41 I cannot tell you about that.”</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">On the issue of post mortem it has been the definite statement of Sri Joshi that there was no post mortem examination of the bodies either at Ahmedabad or at Godhra. The body of his wife was handed over to him at Godhra Station itself and when he wanted the death certificate at Ahmedabad after the body was entrusted to him upon identification he was asked to go to Godhra to get the certificate but after some pursuation the administration issued death certificate and he carried the body of his wife to the house.</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Incidentally, a specific question to the effect as recorded in no. 51, as to how does he say that there was no post mortem effected, Sri Joshi replied that he knows it because he was present with the bodies when the bodies were taken out from the coach and he was present all the time when the bodies were lying on the flat surface near the coach and thereafter the bodies were put on the truck and taken to Ahmedabad. At Ahmedabad his wife’s body was given back to him and at no point of time the bodies were taken to any hospital and it is otherwise not possible to have any post mortem examination done in the open area and it would be wrong statement if it is stated that there was, in fact, a post mortem examination of his wife’s body – it has never taken place either at Godhra or at Ahmedabad.</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Consistently, the statement of the passenger witness including that of Sri Hari Prasad Joshi that the smoke was coming from the guard side since there were very many people on the engine side he could crawl towards rear side of the door towards the guards cabin on the yard side. The door was closed but after Sri Joshi crawled near the door about 4 – 5 feet away from the door it was opened and he could feel a bit of fresh air which made him stand up and then he could come out of the smoke and thus saved himself and he was crawling he did not feel any heat or burning sensation. <a href="http://india.indymedia.org/content/2005/02/210171.shtml">http://india.indymedia.org/content/2005/02/210171.shtml</a></span></span></span></small></div>

Statesman News Service KOLKATA/ NEW DELHI, July 31. - Miss Mamata Banerjee today called a 24-hour Bangla bandh on 5 August, and said her party would decide on quitting the NDA on 13 August in Delhi. In Parliament, a united Opposition kept up the pressure on Mr Nitish Kumar, who again failed to reveal the names of Sabarmati Express passengers who had died in the Godhra train fire. The railways minister didn't even provide the list of passengers who had berths in the ill-fated S6 coach. This, the Opposition said, was "mystifying" since five months have already passed.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Miss Banerjee said the decision on 13 August will be a confirmation of the "mental preparation" that she had taken on severing ties with the NDA. If the Centre fails to redress her grievances this time, she may be forced to snap ties with the NDA for the second time. The West Bengal government will, however, oppose Miss Banerjee's bandh, acting chief minister Md Amin said today. The Left Front will also oppose the bandh, Mr Jyoti Basu said. The Front will organise a rally at Brigade Parade Ground, and take out a procession from there on 11 August.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In another effort to send a discreet message to New Delhi that she should not be taken for granted, Miss Banerjee said Trinamul MPs will not vote for Mr BS Shekhawat, NDA candidate, at the elections to the post of Vice-President on 12 August Instead, all Trinamul Congress MPs, MLAs and councillors will stage a dharna in front of the Prime Minister's residence that day to protest against his "surprising indifference" to her demands, which have by now been "watered down" to only the retention of Dhanbad division with Eastern Railway and the restoration of Katihar division to North Bengal. This "unanimous" decision was taken at today's meeting of the Trinamul all-India working committee, which was attended by all its MPs. The Trinamul had reportedly demanded an expert committee on the ER division as a face-saver, but this was turned down by BJP strategists who believed such a move will annoy Bihar and Jharkhand MPs.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In the Lok Sabha Mr Kumar said he wanted to release the list of passengers who had purchased tickets on the Sabarmati Express. The ministry had asked the local travelling ticket-checkers (TTCs) to furnish this list, he said, but they had reported back saying since the coach was "overcrowded" the details could not be verified. Railway sources, however, said there has never before been such an inordinate delay in publishing the passenger list after a tragedy.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
A former Railway Board chairman said even if the official assumption that many victims were unreserved passengers is correct, this should not prevent Railways from producing the passenger chart of the compartment.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Mr Kumar, however, said only nine persons whose names had figured in the reservation chart could be identified from among the dead and injured. The coach was packed with rallyists, Mr Kumar said, adding he had ordered inspectors to be sent to the residences of those who were to travel to ascertain the facts. Miss Banerjee and senior party leaders decided to defer the decision over quitting the NDA after the intervention of two Union ministers and Mr Vijay Goel, MoS in the PMO. Mr Goel telephoned her this afternoon. But she made it categorical that her party's agitation will continue till 12 August. She did not relent in her criticism of the Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister today, saying she and her party had "grave doubts" if Mr Vajpayee is being "allowed to work independently". The Centre's decision is "illegal, arbitrary, unethical and undemocratic", she said. Her comments yesterday about the "PMO being hijacked" were iterated by Congress MP Mr Kamal Nath in the Lok Sabha today. Mr Nath compared Mr Vajpayee with Shah Jahan at the time of his imprisonment by his son. Mr Anil Biswas, CPI-M state secretary, criticised Miss Banerjee's decision to abstain from the Vice-Presidential vote, saying the party should vote with the Opposition if it really wanted to oppose the Cabinet decision.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Mr Jyoti Basu said the decision to oppose the bandh was taken as the Left Front considers the division of Eastern Railway not a Bengal-Bihar issue but one of "disintegration" of the country: "A bandh in Bengal will trigger a spate of bandhs in Bihar, Jharkhand ... there will be chaos. The Trinamul is devoid of principles and ideology. A bandh will only give parochialism a fillip. The only way to reverse the disastrous decision is to dislodge the NDA through a nationwide movement," he said.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;">
SUCI in a fix: The SUCI is among the first to feel the pinch of the bandh call. The day of the bandh coincides with the death anniv-ersary of its founder, to commemorate which the SUCI had made plans days in advance.<br />

More than 15,000 people have converged at Ayodhya for a ritual they hope will kick off construction of a temple at Ayodhya, officials said. The government of Uttar Pradesh has rushed 2,000 paramilitary troops to guard the disputed site and banned assembly of people at Ayodhya, where hardliners plan to start building the temple on March 15, officials said.<br />
<br />
"We are prepared to deal with any contingency," the state's Principal Home Secretary Naresh Dayal told Reuters.<br />
<br />
President K.R. Narayanan, outlining government policy at the opening of a new session of Parliament on Monday, said the Ayodhya dispute should be resolved either by a court or by mutual agreement among all parties involved.<br />
<br />
"The government of India...is duty bound to maintain the status quo at the disputed site in Ayodhya. It will also ensure that all necessary measures will be taken to ensure preservation of law and order," Narayanan said. A spokesman for the BJP-led NDA coalition said the President's remarks summed up the government's approach to the dispute.<br />
<br />
"The government has made its position clear in the president's address," Defence Minister George Fernandes, who is convenor of the ruling National Democratic Alliance, told reporters.<br />
<br />
The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has declared it will start building the temple on March 15 and was mobilising Hindus to attend the "purna ahuti yagya" ritual. In Bhopal members of the BJP said thousands of Hindus were on their way to Ayodhya. "In response to the Vishwa Hindu Parishad's call for help in construction of the temple, 5,000 youths have left for Ayodhya today," said Kewal Mishra, the leader of BJP's youth wing in the city. On Sunday the BJP was routed in state polls, including its traditional power base of Uttar Pradesh, its traditional power base.<br />

Amid uproarious scenes, Lok Sabha was on Tuesday adjourned for half-an-hour after the chair disallowed Opposition demand for suspension of Question Hour to discuss the Ayodhya issue even as Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee asserted that government was prepared for a debate on it.<br />
<br />
The Rajya Sabha was adjourned for15 minutes as almost the entire Opposition trooped into the Well demanding suspension of the Question Hour and taking up of the Ayodhya issue.<br />
<br />
As soon as the House met for the day, angry Opposition Members sought to know the latest situation in Ayodhya and demanded that Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee apprise the members of the actual position in the backdrop of VHP's threat to start the process of temple construction from March 15.<br />

A day after government assured the Opposition of maintaining status quo at the disputed site in Ayodhya, the VHP on Wednesday announced the muhurat for shifting the carved pillars of the Ram temple to the Janmabhoomi area. But the VHP maintained that the actual construction would begin only in an "amicable atmosphere".<br />
<br />
The Sangh Parivar outfit also expressed hope that the government would hand over the acquired land to it by March 12. "We will be moving the pillars from our workshop at Karsevakpuram to the Ram Janmabhoomi site at 1415 hrs IST (auspicious time) on March 15, VHP senior vice-president Acharya Giriraj Kishore said.<br />
<br />
About one lakh VHP activists and supporters would converge on the temple town on March 15 to begin the process of construction, he said. The VHP leader dismissed apprehensions of any communal trouble but said the activists were prepared to court arrest if the administration prevents them from moving the material to the site.<br />
<br />
Kishore, however, clarified that the "actual construction work would begin only in an amicable atmosphere." "How can a temple be built in an atmosphere of tension," he asked. Kishore said the VHP's Mandir Nirman Samiti (temple construction committee) would meet in Ayodhya on March 14.<br />
<br />
He said VHP was hopeful that the government would return the acquired land to it by March 12. Asked about the government's assurance to the Opposition at the all-party meeting on Tuesday night that the status quo regarding the acquired land would be maintained, Kishore said "nothing can be ruled out in politics".<br />

Concerned over Assembly of thousands of kar sewaks in Ayodhya, Home Minister L.K. Advani on Wednesday said the exercise could lead to flagrant defiance of court orders and warned the VHP that government would not hesitate to take action to maintain law and order.The VHP has "embarked on a course of action in Ayodhya which is fraught with dangerous consequences. Thousands are sought to be assembled in Ayodhya to take part in a mass exercise which can only lead to flagrant defiance of the court orders," he said in a terse statement a day after the all-party meeting convened by Prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee to discuss the temple issue.<br />
<br />
Asking VHP leaders, particularly Ashok Singhal, to abandon their present course of action, Advani said: "If, however, they persist in their present approach, the government would not hesitate to take action against those who defy court orders or create problems for law and order".<br />
<br />
Asserting that it was duty of Centre as well as the Uttar Pradesh government to ensure that court orders were not violated by anyone, the Home Minister said the developments in Ayodhya could thus precipitate a serious law and order problem.<br />
<br />
"Crores of our countrymen want the Ram temple to be built at Ayodhya but they want it to be built lawfully and peacefully," he said.</div>

Prime minister Atal Behari Vajpayee on Wednesday urged the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) to shelve plans to build temple on the disputed Ayodhya site after flaring of violence in Godhra.<br />
<br />
Shatabdi Express bringing 'Ram Sevaks' from Ayodhya to Ahmedabad were attacked and set on fire early on Wednesday. Thirty people are suspected killed in the incident.<br />
<br />
"This incident is very sad, unfortunate," Atal Behari Vajpayee told reporters. "I would appeal to the VHP to suspend their campaign and help government in maintaining peace and brotherhood in the country." <br />
<br />
Home Minister Lal Krishna Advani also urged the Parishad to drop its plans. The government has threatened tough action against anyone taking the law into their own hands before a long-delayed court settlement.<br />
<br />
Vajpayee stressed that the issue could not be resolved through agitational course or violence. "There are two ways to resolve the issue--one through talks among the concerned parties and the other through the judiciary," he said adding yesterday's all-party meeting was unanimous on the view that the courts should be requested to expedite the hearing of related cases and give their verdict.<br />
<br />
"I am confident that such steps would be taken," he said appealing to the people not to be swayed by rumours. Maintaining that government was concerned over the incident, he said the Centre wanted peace to prevail, especially in Gujarat, and asserted that it would take all necessary steps to maintain harmony.<br />
<br />
<b>Govt's assurances "inadequate, unsatisfactory": Muslims</b><br />
<br />
However, Musluim outfits describing verbal assurance of the government to maintain status quo at the disputed site in Ayodhya as "inadequate and unsatisfactory".<br />
<br />
They demanded that the congregation of 'kar seveks' already at the site should be declared "an unlawful Assembly" in view of their declared objective and they should be dispersed.<br />
<br />
"The all India Muslim majlis-e-Mushawarat (AIMMM) and the Babri Masjid Movement Coordination Committee (BMMCC) expressed their deep concern at the deteriorating situation in Ayodhya with the arrival of thousands of 'kar seveks' every day and the reiteration by the VHP of its resolve to storm the acquired area on March 15 to commence the unlawful construction of the proposed Ram temple," AIMMM and BMMCC said in a statement.<br />
<br />
Demanding a ban on the "entry or re-entry" of the kar sevekas in Ayodhya, AIMMM president Syed Shahabuddin said all the political parties should press the government to "take all effective measures to defend the sanctity of the constitution and to send a parliamentary team to Ayodhya to monitor the ground developments."<br />
<br />
"Block all access routes from karsevekpuram to the acquired area and seal all stocks of carved pillars against their use in an unlawful act," the organisations said.</div>

<h3>
It had to be done, VHP leader says of riots</h3>
<i>Sheela Bhatt</i> in Ahmedabad<br />
In a startling revelation, Professor Keshavram Kashiram Shastri, 96-year-old chairman of the Gujarat unit of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, told<i>rediff.com</i> that the list of shops owned by Muslims in Ahmedabad was prepared on the morning of February 28 itself.<br />
Shastri was replying to an allegation that shops in Ahmedabad were looted on the basis of a list prepared by the VHP in advance and that the violence was not a spontaneous outburst against the<a href="http://www.rediff.com/news/2002/feb/27train2.htm">carnage in Godhra</a>.<br />
A scholar of the Mahabharat and a highly respected literary figure of Gujarat, Shastri said in a tape-recorded interview, "In the morning we sat down and prepared the list. We were not prepared in advance."<br />
Asked why they did it, he responded, "<i>Karvun j pade, karvun j pade</i> (it had to be done, it had to be done). We don't like it, but we were terribly angry. Lust and anger are blind." He said the rioters were "<i>kelvayela Hindu chokra</i>" (well-bred Hindu boys).<br />
He said there were two reasons for the inactivity of the Ahmedabad police during the rioting. "They feared death," he said simply. "And some of them were Hindus who thought, let the mob do whatever it wants."<br />
He agreed that the atmosphere in the city now is so charged that if he were to go to the Muslim-dominated Kalupur area of Ahmedabad, he would not come back alive.<br />
He admitted that people had been burnt, mosques razed, and shops looted, but argued that all that had been done in a "frenzy".<br />
Shastri agreed that violence was not the answer to violence, but remarked, "These things [<i>non-violence</i>] look good in the <i>shastras</i>. Our boys were charged because in Godhra women and children were burnt alive. The crowd was spontaneous. All of them were not VHP people. The Waghri community (a scheduled caste) didn't even know the victims of Godhra, but they have done an amazing job! They are not our members. In villages all these people who were angry are not our people. They are angry because Hindutva was attacked. This is an outburst, a tremendous outburst that will be difficult to roll back."<br />
He said the situation could get aggravated and bigger riots were possible. "There will be a war," he said. "So much poison has spread that it's difficult o contain it now."<br />
Asked how he, a scholar and a litterateur, could condone innocents being burnt alive, he remarked, "The youngsters have done even those things which we don't like. We don't support it. But we can't condemn it because they are our boys. If my daughter does something, will I condemn it?<br />
"We don't believe that the boys have done something wrong, because this was the result of an outburst. But we do feel that they should not have gone so far. But that's an afterthought. We needed to do something. It's said that snakes that are not poisonous should keep the enemy away by hissing once in a while."<br />
He agreed that in Hindu philosophy, such actions are sinful, "but it's done! Now we should work for peace. Because India can't afford such disturbances."<br />
The Ahmedabad police have so far arrested 977 persons on charges of rioting, looting, burning and killing people in response to first information reports filed by the victims and relatives of the dead.<br />
According to the police, the search for looted goods has been quite successful. In many colonies and slums, looted stuff has been found abandoned on the roads by rioters fearful of being caught.<br />
According to a police source, a legislator in Ahmedabad has sought police protection because the relatives of those arrested have been nagging him day and night to get them out.<br />
A senior police officer told <i>rediff.com</i> that the arrested boys are now blaming local leaders and saffron activists. "Our boys did it because the mobs and leaders supported it. Now how can you arrest them?" say the relatives of the rioters.<br />
According to Shastri , "The VHP has formed a panel of 50 lawyers to help release the arrested people accused of rioting and looting. None of the lawyers will charge any fees because they believe in the RSS ideology."</form>

<h3>
Army moves in after night of Gujarat carnage</h3>
Reuters<br />
Posted: Mar 01, 2002 at 1008 hrs IST<br />
<br />
<img alt="" src="http://static.expressindia.com/expressindia/images/zero.gif" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px; text-align: justify;" /><br />
Troops arrived in riot-torn Gujarat on Friday to crush the violence that has killed 100 people in two days, the worst communal bloodshed in a decade. "The situation should get under control now," Gujarat Home Secretary Ashok Narayan told Reuters. Ahmedabad police chief P.C. Pande said soldiers would fan out to the affected areas shortly.<br />
<br />
The state's main city, Ahmedabad, and the eye of the violence, the town of Godhra, were largely deserted on Friday. Debris littered Ahmedabad's streets and fires still smouldered. Police said there were reports of sporadic violence overnight. Police have been issued shoot-on-sight orders in some areas, curfews have been imposed and dozens of people rounded up.<br />
<br />
The rioting erupted after a mob torched a train carrying Ram sevaks in Godhra on Wednesday, burning alive 58 people, mostly women and children. At least 60 people are feared dead in reprisal attacks on Thursday by mobs.<br />
<br />
In the worst single incident, hundreds of rioters torched a housing complex in Ahmedabad, burning alive at least 18 people, including many children and a former Congress member of Parliament, police said. A senior police official, who could not be named, said as many as 20 others may also have died in the blaze. Three rioters were killed when police opened fire on the mob, he said.<br />
<br />
Through the day, mobs defying a curfew stabbed or burned to death many people and looted stores, set fires and blocked roads with flaming tyres in Ahmedabad. Responding to media criticism that police failed to intervene swiftly, Police Commissioner Pande said they "were not insulated from the general social milieu".<br />
<br />
"(When) there's a change in the perception of the society, the police is part of it and there's bound to be some kind of contagion effect," he said.<br />
<br />
So far, the violence has been confined to Gujarat. But on Friday, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad has called for a nationwide strike to protest the train burning. Gujarat authorities asked New Delhi to send in the army amid worries about a rise in the tit-for-tat killings between the tow communities in the state where 20,000 people died in a devastating earthquake in early 2001.<br />

Gujarat carnage: Death toll nears 200</h3>

<span style="background-color: transparent;">Posted: Mar 01, 2002 at 1131 hrs IST</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent;"><br /></span>
The death toll in two days of rioting in Gujarat has risen to more than 190, including 58 burned alive in the attack that sparked the bloodshed, authorities said on Friday.<br />
<br />
The unrest is the worst in India in a decade.<br />
<br />
"The death toll is 133 all over the state," Home Department Secretary K. Nityanandam told Reuters, referring to rioting on Thursday a day after 58 people were burned alive when a mob attacked a trainload of Ram sevaks.<br />
<br />
The Army has arrived in Gujarat to quell the bloodshed.<br />

<b>Fresh violence claims 30 more lives in Ahmedabad</b><br />
<br />
Fresh communal violence in the city and its outskirts early on Friday claimed 30 more lives, including 27 burnt alive while asleep.<br />
<br />
Thirteen columns of army have arrived in the city as Defence Minister George Fernandes took stock of the situation with Chief Minister Narendra Modi in the small hours on Friday morning.<br />
<br />
Eight more areas and towns were brought under indefinite curfew bringing the total number to 34 but there was concerned in sensitive areas over the delay in deployment off the army following police inaction.<br />
<br />
There were fears of more violence in view of the fact that Muslims would congregate for prayers in mosques. The authorities maintained that the army would stage a flag march shortly and deployed in Ahmedabad.<br />
<br />
There were reports of arson and looting in old Ahmedabad city and a police man was killed and his motorcycle burnt in Bapunagar area.<br />

Security tightened around temples in Pak</h3>

Pakistan, fearing a backlash at home to violence in Gujarat, has thrown a security blanket around temples and residential areas belonging to minority Hindu community.<br /><br />City police chief Tariq Jamil told Reuters on Friday extra police had been stationed outside temples in the volatile port city "to deter any retaliation". "We have also beefed up security in residential areas of the Hindu community in the city," he said.<br /><br />He added police had also contacted the Hindu community leaders and "asked them to coordinate with the security agencies in case they received any threats". Karachi police say they fear possible protests from militants after Friday prayers, when large crowds gather at mosques.<br /><br />With more than 191 people killed in attacks and riots in Gujarat over past two days, the worst communal bloodshed in a decade, the Indian government has sent troops to try and restore order.<br /><br />The Pakistani press blamed the Indian government for the violence in Gujarat, which has claimed nearly 200 lives since Wednesday. "For a country like India, that likes to flaunt its secular credentials, the rise of fundamentalism among the majority Hindu community has severely dented its image," The News wrote in an editorial. Another daily The Dawn wrote that the gruesome attack on a train in Gujarat is "indeed unfortunate but that does not take away from the fact that India's self-professed and oft-repeated claim to secularism is just that: self-professed and often repeated, but not substantiated by India's track record".<br /><br />"We cannot but see a parallel in this for Pakistan which has often been at the receiving end of international opinion: frequently being labelled -- usually at New Delhi's goading -- a fundamentalist state,"<i>The Dawn </i>said. The newspaper said unrest was the fault of Hindu hard liners who have stepped up their campaign to build a temple in Ayodhya. "The Babri Masjid's destruction had symbolised the larger malaise of (the) Hinduization of India, despite New Delhi's secularist claims," wrote <i>The Nation</i>, which said India's minorities "are increasingly vulnerable."<br /><br />"There can be no peace in India, or the region, unless New Delhi shuns internal bigotry and adopts a foreign policy of peaceful coexistence," it wrote.<br /><br />

Protesters stoned buses and blocked rail tracks in Mumbai on Friday as a general strike called by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) paralysed much of the city. A spokeswoman for the city's public bus service said a stone-throwing mob damaged seven buses and hurt eight staff in Borivli as protests spread after a mob burned Ram sevaks alive on a train in Gujarat.<br />
<br />
Some suburban trains were cancelled when groups of protesters blocked rail tracks, a railway spokesman said. The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) called the strike to protest against the killing of 58 people, including women and children, in Wednesday's train attack.<br />
<br />
The army was called out on Friday in Gujarat, scene of the train attack, to quell the spiralling violence that has killed 133 people in two days. Dealers said activity in financial markets was expected to be light after the Shiv Sena backed the strike call.<br />

Police burst teargas shells and resorted to lathi charge on Friday to disperse a mob which set ablaze half a dozen shops in the town and indulged in stone-pelting during the VHP-sponsored bandh to protest killings of kar sevaks in Godhra.<br />The 100-strong mob moved around in the town, about 30 km from Kalyan, appealing to shopkeepers to down shutters and at some place forcibly pulling them down.<br />The shops, located in the heart of the town, reportedly belonged to a minority community, police said adding that a place of worship in the vicinity of the shops was, however, safe.<br /><br />Fire tenders were rushed from Ulhasnagar, Kalyan and Dombivali to Murbad town to douse the fire that enveloped several shops.<br /><br />Additional police force and special reserve police were deployed in large numbers to quell the mob which stoned policemen on duty.

Bandh in Mumbai passes off peacefully</h3>
Express News Service<br />
Posted: Mar 01, 2002 at 1710 hrs IST<br /><br />Even as the Mumbai city and its suburbs remained tense through the day on Friday, the bandh called by the VHP passed off relatively peacefully. With security tightened in the city, the streets wore a deserted look with most shops keeping their shutters down.<br /><br />There have been 77 cases of stone throwing at the BEST buses starting at 1:30 on Friday morning at Charkope. About 14 bus drivers, six conductors and and one passenger of the BEST bus was injured.<br /><br />A train was also derailed by a mob at Kandivili. Though no one is said to heve been hurt in the incidence, special squads maintained vigil at various railway stations on the harbour, central and western line.<br /><br />Most of the taxis and autorickshaws in the city kept off the street after a few incidents of stone-throwing targetted at cabs in east Mumbai.<br /><br />The mob shouting slogans for VHP had managed to stop trains for a few minutes at other stations like Grant Road, Chembur etc but they were quickly brought under control. The fact that the Shiv Sena did not join the VHP 'physically' is being attributed as the major cause of the low incidence of violence in Mumbai.<br />

Posted: Mar 01, 2002 at 1814 hrs IST<br /><br /><img src="http://static.expressindia.com/expressindia/images/zero.gif" />Congress on Friday said the Gujarat government lacked "necessary political will" which could have prevented much of the violence that erupted as a backlash to the attack on Sabarmati Express at Godhra.<br /><br />Accusing the Gujarat government of "utter failure" in handling the post-Godhra situation, Congress spokesman S. Jaipal Reddy said that the state government with minimum sense could have anticipated the reaction. "But it failed miserably in this regard".<br /><br />"We are of the considered view that if the state government had the necessary political will, most of the incidents that have taken place after Godhra could have been prevented", he said.<br /><br />"The manner in which the former Mp Jaffery and his family members were killed is the living example of the state government's failure," Reddy said. Demanding deployment of the army in riot-hit areas of Gujarat, he said: "The NDA government was only saying that the army will stand by in the state but reluctant to deploy them. That is why we had to take the extra-ordinary steps to meet the President K.R. Narayanan to demand positive deployment of armed forces."<br /><br />Charging BJP with spreading a canard against Congress about condemnation of the Gujarat incident, Reddy said party president Sonia Gandhi was the only national leader who had condemned it while the Prime Minister only appealed to maintain peace.<br /><br />He said how the appeal of BJP national leadership, including the Prime Minister, could work while their state units were "openly conniving" with VHP during the nationwide bandh called on Friday to protest Godhra attack.<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px;">

AHMEDABAD, FEB. 28. At least 140 people were killed, 60 of them burnt alive in two housing colonies here today, as mob frenzy reached its crescendo during the ``Gujarat bandh'' called by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and supported by the ruling BJP in protest against Wednesday's torching of the Sabarmati Express.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">

About 40 were feared killed when 15 houses in ``Gulmarg'' Society in Meghaninagar locality here were set afire. At least 20 people were feared trapped in a building set ablaze in Naroda industrial area.</div>

The authorities said the toll in the day's orgy of violence in Ahmedabad alone could be at least 90. The number of cases of looting and arson, particularly of the minority shops and business establishments, was officially put at 118 in Ahmedabad but the authorities admitted that they had lost count.</div>

The authorities, for obvious reasons, refused to confirm the burning of a mosque in Surat city, the attack on the Islamic Study Centre in Baroda and the torching of the Waqf Board office in the old secretariat building in Gandhinagar. But eyewitness accounts confirmed the incidents.</div>

At least five people were killed in Viramgam and four in Baroda where the house of a leading Muslim social activist was attacked. Six were killed in Derol town near Godhra. Till evening, police fired 46 rounds in Ahmedabad, in which at least 10 persons were believed to have been killed. The toll in the torching of the Sabarmati Express, meanwhile, had risen to 58 with the recovery of the body of a child late last night.</div>

An indefinite curfew has been clamped in 26 cities and towns in the State, including parts of Ahmedabad, Surat, Baroda, Rajkot, Nadiad, Anand and Kaira in addition to the indefinite curfew in force in Godhra since Wednesday. The skyline of Ahmedabad and Baroda was filled with black smoke emanating from the burnt shops and cabins, discarded tyres to create road blockades as well as dozens of State road transport and city municipal service buses set afire by the miscreants.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
For the first time in many years, the response to the bandh call was almost total in all cities with not even a single shop or roadside cabin, petrol pump or commercial establishment open. Hooligans forced the closure of most of the State and Central Government offices in Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar and other cities. All schools and colleges, cinemas and other establishments remained closed. Even the cable television operators, ``under instructions'' from the VHP, were forced to suspend telecast of all entertainment and sports channels, allowing only the news channels to function during the day.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
The hooligans indulging in looting and arson had a field day with police either conspicuous by their absence or, outnumbered by the attackers, looking the other way. Journalists and cameramen were also attacked at many places and their equipment damaged.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
It was also perhaps for the first time that the capital city of Gandhinagar witnessed violence with groups of people attacking even the old secretariat building housing the offices of many of the State Government-owned boards.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
Several minority places of worship were made the specific target of the attacks. In Ahmedabad, a mausoleum in the middle of a road in Shahibagh locality, barely a few metres from the office of the city police commissioner was razed to the ground by the hooligans with the police vehicles passing by but refusing to intervene.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
Mr. Modi, who described the train attack as a ``terrorist-type'' action, said the Government had ordered a judicial inquiry. by a retired judge of the Gujarat High Court. Mr. Modi said 80 people, including two local councillors of Godhra who were believed to be involved in the train attack and the owners of the two petrol pumps suspected to have supplied fuel to the attackers, had been arrested. Both the pumps have been sealed, he said and added that the Government would not hesitate to invoke POTO or the Prevention of Anti- Social Activities Act (PASA) against the Godhra attackers.</div>

NEW DELHI, FEB. 28. The spectre of a communal conflagration in Gujarat and the danger of its spreading elsewhere did not prevent Vinay Katiyar, BJP MP from Faizabad-Ayodhya, from virtually attacking the Government and its Ministers for daring to ask the Vishwa Hindu Parishad to roll back its temple construction plan.</div>
<div align="justify">
The venue was the Lok Sabha and the verbal assault led to an impromptu statement from the Union Home Minister, L.K. Advani, after the budget presentation. The Speaker's indulgence in allowing the statement helped cool the tempers and the budget was presented smoothly although earlier Mr. Katiyar had threatened not to allow it.</div>
<div align="justify">
Even before the House assembled, Mr. Katiyar and fellow MP from Padrauna, Ram Nagina Mishra, were seen gesticulating and talking angrily with Mr. Advani and Minister, Murli Manohar Joshi. ``Jo Hindu hit ki baat karega, wahi desh mein raj karega (only those who are pro-Hindu can govern this country),'' the VHP activists among BJP MPs shouted. ``Ram bhakt ke hatiyaron ko phansi do phansi do (hang those who killed the Ram bhakts),'' they chanted, referring to the gruesome Godhra incident. In response Mr Advani simply stood before them with his hands folded.</div>
<div align="justify">
In fact, for about 15 minutes even before the House proceedings began and after the Speaker took his chair, the Opposition mutely watched some BJP MPs shouting angrily at senior BJP Ministers. It seemed as if the internal bickerings within the sangh parivar had spilled out in the open, and would have also gone on air had it not been for someone quickly stopping the live telecast that was ready to present the budget to the people.</div>
<div align="justify">
Advani's statement</div>
<div align="justify">
Mr. Advani made a brief statement later. He said the Centre was in constant touch with the State Government. Immediately after Wednesday's attack on the Sabarmati Express at Godhra he had alerted States to take action to prevent communal flare-ups. A judicial inquiry by a retired High Court judge had been ordered and 40 persons arrested in connection with the incident in which 58 persons were reportedly killed. Trouble had also broken out in Ahmedabad, Vadodara and Anand where four persons had been killed in different incidents.</div>
<div align="justify">
Mr. Advani said the Government would try and find out whether only local residents were involved in the murderous attack or ``there was another angle to it.'' He indicated that in the present security environment nothing could be ruled out.</div>
<div align="justify">
Sympathising with the anguish of members who earlier in the day had occupied the well of the House, Mr. Advani said ``there can be no two opinions on the incident, no words were strong enough to condemn the Godhra attack.'' He also added that perhaps the burning of coaches with passengers on board was the worst ever incident of violence. He promised to get back to the House when he had more information.</div>
<div align="justify">
Echo in RS</div>
<div align="justify">
The Godhra incident echoed in the Rajya Sabha when it met at 2 p.m. Members sought a statement from the Government and the chair said a detailed discussion could be held later.</div>
<div align="justify">
The Leader of the Opposition, Manmohan Singh, said it was a ``ghastly tragedy which had led to loss of many lives. It was the obligation of the Central and State governments to protect the lives of citizens.'' Many other MPs expressed similar views.</div>

NEW DELHI, FEB. 28. In a remarkable act of civic responsibility and political maturity, ranking Muslim leaders have condemned the ``barbaric and brutal violence at Godhra.'' This public condemnation comes in the wake of the obvious inference that the members of the minority community are the most probable culprits in violence at Godhra.</div>
<div align="justify">
``We condemn the culprits of the criminal act, whosoever they be, without any reservation, whatever the Provocation,'' said the Muslim leaders. Those who have signed the statement include Syed Shahabuddin (president, All India Muslim Majilis-e-Mushawarat), Maulana Asad Madani (president, Jamait-ul- Ulema-e-Hind), Qazi Mujahidul Islam Qasmi (secretary-general, All India Milli Council), Maulana H.R.

NEW DELHI, FEB. 28. The CPI general secretary, A.B. Bardhan, today said that the Gujarat Government was not taking steps to prevent the spread of violence in the State.</div>
<div align="justify">
Mr. Bardhan said the disturbance was caused by ``anti- social'' elements and it was not a ``communal riot''.</div>
<div align="justify">
He said the people of Ahmedabad, with whom he was in touch, had complained that the police presence was hardly visible since most of the deployment was either at the hospital where bodies of those killed in Wednesday's incident were kept or where cremations were taking place.</div>
<div align="justify">
PTI reports:</div>
<div align="justify">
The Samajwadi Party president, Mulayam Singh Yadav, today demanded that the disturbed areas in Gujarat be handed over to the Army. The Centre should act immediately to bring peace in the State, he said.</div>
<div align="justify">
Mr. Yadav, in a statement issued from Lucknow, warned against the designs of communal and disruptive forces which were bent upon vitiating the communal harmony of the country.</div>
<div align="justify">
Speaking in Faizabad, the former Prime Minister, V.P. Singh, today said the VHP should abide by its commitment to honour the court's order in the Ayodhya case and that his Kisan Manch would plead to the Allahabad High Court for a day-to-day hearing for the speedy disposal of the case.</div>
<div align="justify">
The VHP's stubborn attitude should not culminate in destroying peace, he said adding the Government should take necessary measures to deal with the situation in Ayodhya.</div>
<div align="justify">
The Trinamool Congress chief, Mamata Banerjee, sought the Centre's intervention to defuse tension at Ayodhya in the ``absence'' of a stable Government in Uttar Pradesh and suggested the deployment of Army there.</div>

<div align="justify">
NEW DELHI, FEB. 28. An unrelenting Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) accused the Prime Minister, Atal Behari Vajpayee, of ``criminal negligence'' and held the Union Government responsible for the attack on the Sabarmati Express in which 57 people were killed.</div>
<div align="justify">
The VHP's joint general secretary, Omkar Bhave, told presspersons, ``if the Government had taken the right steps this would not have happened.'' Asked if the VHP was asking the Government to resign, he said, ``resignation is not the solution to all problems.''</div>
<div align="justify">
Mr. Bhave said what had happened in Gujarat since the attack on the train ``is a reply... we are not taking it lying down.'' The VHP was warning the Government that if it did not act there would be riots across the country. ``What is happening in Gujarat will spread to all parts of the country.''</div>
<div align="justify">
The Union Home Minister, L.K. Advani, did ``bak bak (talked nonsense) on national security. He says terrorism is on its last leg while it is growing.'' The Government had done nothing to contain terrorist activity in the country and the attack on the Sabarmati Express was ``the work of the ISI,'' Mr. Bhave said.</div>
<div align="justify">
`Temple campaign will continue'</div>
<div align="justify">
The temple campaign would continue as planned, with the relay of people going to Ayodhya and back. There was no plan to send a larger number of volunteers. Any change in the plan would be ``at the direction of sants who are wiser than the Prime Minister.'' Mr. Vajpayee should appeal to the sants if he wanted a change in the direction, he said.</div>
<div align="justify">
Neither the Prime Minister, nor the Home Minister had ever told the sants what the circumstances were although the sants had ``gone to them time and time again''. ``The style of the two is to evade the whole thing ... how not to give the land to the VHP0 .. how to appease the minorities,''Mr. Bhave alleged.</div>
<div align="justify">
He brushed aside Mr. Advani's statements about the significance of the Ram temple movement to the BJP and his part in it saying, ``has he ever placed a formula in front of us .. for two years we have been standing on his head .. in this time has he ever said do it this way or do not do it this way.''</div>
<div align="justify">
Mr. Bhave said there would be a meeting of sants in Ayodhya on March 14 when a final announcement would be made about the events of March 15.</div>
<div align="justify">
The VHP has called for a ``nation-wide bandh .. primarily in North India'' to protest the attack on the Sabarmati Express. Announcing this, Mr. Bhave said essential services and school children who had exams would be ``exempted'' from the bandh.</div>

<div align="justify">
NEW DELHI, FEB 28. In a meeting with the Prime Minister, Atal Behari Vajpayee, late this evening, the Congress strongly demanded the Army be called out in Gujarat to control the outbreak of communal violence.</div>
<div align="justify">
A delegation led by the Congress president, Sonia Gandhi, called on the Prime Minister to express its grave concern and demand urgent steps to rein in the situation.</div>
<div align="justify">
Ms. Gandhi handed over a letter to Mr. Vajpayee asking him to bring in the Army and urging the Government to take a serious note of the dangerous situation as also the proposed bandh.</div>
<div align="justify">
Ms. Gandhi and the delegation once again condemned the Godhra incident. In a statement issued on Wednesday, she had condemned the dastardly killings of the train passengers and demanded strong action against the perpetrators and expressed her deep sympathies with the families of those killed in the violence.</div>
<div align="justify">
Manmohan Singh of the Congress also condemned the incident today during his intervention in the Rajya Sabha. He demanded strong and urgent steps against those responsible for the mayhem.</div>
<div align="justify">
Briefing newspersons after their 30-minute meeting with the Prime Minister, the CWC member, Kamal Nath said there was a total breakdown of the law and order machinery in Gujarat.</div>
<div align="justify">
The Government should have anticipated the fallout of Wednesday's incidents and taken appropriate measures to prevent the violence from spreading, he said.</div>
<div align="justify">
The Congress denied charges that two of its corporators were behind the murderous assault in Godhra. The party clarified that it had ``absolutely nothing to do with the two corporators,'' he said.</div>
<div align="justify">
He was reacting to charges levelled by the BJP spokesperson, V.K. Malhotra, about the involvement of Congressmen in the attack on the VHP activists.</div>
<div align="justify">
He accused the BJP of trying to divert attention from the State Government's mishandling of the situation.</div>
<div align="justify">
The delegation included Arjun Singh, Ahmed Patel and Madhusudan Mistry, Lok Sabha MP from Gujarat.</div>

<div style="text-align: start;">
<location>RATLAM (Madhya Pradesh) </location><date>FEB. 28. </date>Many lives could have been saved yesterday when the Sabarmati Express was set ablaze by arsonists at Godhra, if Railway Protection Force (RPF) jawans had not left the spot following the stone pelting by miscreants, according to an eyewitness account.</div>
<div align="justify">
The Travelling Ticket Examiner (TTE), Sajjanlal Raniwal, who was in charge of S-3 and S-4 three-tier coaches of the Sabarmati Express, said here today that an armed RPF party had reached the spot soon after getting information. Despite being armed with rifles, they, however, fled in panic as soon as miscreants started throwing stones on them.</div>
<div align="justify">
After that, he said, miscreants, equipped with sharp-edged and deadly weapons, brought about a reign of terror for more than an hour and finally set ablaze S-6 sleeper coach which was accommodating nearly 125 passengers, including 65 reserved ones.Mr. Raniwal said the express, which was running nearly seven hours late, reached Godhra from Ratlam at 7.45 a.m. yesterday.</div>
<div align="justify">
During its 10-minute halt at Godhra, he said there was a dispute between `karsewaks' and some people at the platform, adding that it appeared that the issue was later pacified.</div>
<div align="justify">
But somebody pulled the chain immediately after the train left the platform. As soon as the train stopped, a large number of violent miscreants, who were waiting at the stop, started stone pelting, he said.</div>
<div align="justify">
He said guard S.N. Verma informed this to the Godhra stationmaster through his walkie-talkie. Passengers closed down the windows and doors in a state of utter confusion.</div>
<div align="justify">
Meanwhile, some of the miscreants were heard saying ``set afire'' and they torched S-6 coach by pouring petrol, he said recalling that the fire brigade squad, which arrived on the information of the guard, could not begin carrying out rescue operation because of the stone pelting by miscreants.</div>
<div align="justify">
He said men somehow managed to come swiftly out of the gutted coach. Women and children suffered a lot in this hour of utter confusion, he added.</div>
<div align="justify">
After an hour, the fire brigade reached the spot with heavy police force which compelled miscreants to flee the scene.</div>
<div align="justify">
After getting control over the situation, authorities detached the gutted coach and allowed the train to go to Ahmedabad.</div>
<div align="justify">
He said he had run back to the station after arsonists set afire the coach. The terror of yesterday's incident was evident on the face of the Sabarmati Express' driver Rajendra Rao and assistant driver Mukesh Pachori, both of whom hailed from Ratlam.</div>

NEW DELHI, FEB. 28. The Bharatiya Janata Party president, Jana Krishnamurthi, and two senior leaders _ the former president, Kushbhau Thakre, and the general secretary, Sanjay Joshi _ are leaving for the riot-torn Gujarat tomorrow to hold urgent consultations with the Chief Minister, Narendra Modi, on how best to tackle the communal situation.</div>
<div align="justify">
Earlier, party sources indicated that the BJP had from the start dissociated itself from the Vishwa Hindu Parishad's plan to gather `Ram bhakts' in Ayodhya and was against the building of a temple there in contravention of the Supreme Court's orders. Naturally, BJP members are not expected to take part in the VHP's programme.</div>
<div align="justify">
But the party declined to say anything on what action it would take against BJP MPs who have been in the forefront of VHP activities. Till now the party's stand was that its MPs are free to associate themselves with the VHP at the ``personal level''. The plea was that the BJP cannot stop its MPs or members from participating in any `yagya' or any religious activity.</div>

<div align="justify">
<location>HYDERABAD </location><date>Feb. 28. </date>The All-India Catholic Union has condemned the train-burning incident at Godhra in Gujarat yesterday, describing it as "`inhuman and ghastly.''</div>
<div align="justify">
The union president and the vice-president — M. E. Menezes and John Dayal, state president and secretary — S. Anthony and James Sylvester, along with others told presspersons that the incident might aggravate the communal tension in the country and called for greater vigilance so that no group, no matter what its political and religious affiliations were, could carry out violence in defiance of the law.</div>
<div align="justify">
The leaders appreciated the "correct and timely steps'' taken by the Prime Minister, Atal Behari Vajpayee, and the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister, N. Chandrababu Naidu, to deal with the situation.</div>
<div align="justify">
The resolutions adopted by the meeting stated that the National Commission on Review of the Constitution, headed by the former Chief Justice, M. Venkatachaliah, had been silent on minority rights in all the 22 papers released by it so far, and demanded that the report of the commission, being submitted to the Government around March 12, be made public. They wanted an assurance from the Central and State Governments that the Constitutional provisions, especially those relating to educational institutions, not be diluted.</div>
<div align="justify">
The meeting sought the removal of N. S. Rajaram, author of "Christianity's Scramble for India,'' from the Indian Council of Historical Research through which certain textbooks were being rewritten alleging that he was a known "baiter'' of Christianity and poured his bile on the beliefs of the faith, Mother Mary, Jesus Christ and Mother Teresa. His appointment, they said, would put a seal of approval on his "blasphemous hate-mongering''.</div>
<div align="justify">
The meeting also demanded SC status to SC Christian converts because an unequal Dalit should not be discriminated against solely on the basis of religion.</div>

<location>CHENNAI </location><date>Feb. 28 </date>The Janata Party president, Subramanian Swamy, has demanded the resignation of the Prime Minister, Atal Behari Vajpayee, as a ``necessary step to save the country from sliding further into a communal holocaust''.</div>
<div align="justify">
In a statement issued here, Dr. Swamy noted that Mr. Vajpayee's appeal yesterday to the VHP to call off the Ayodhya temple building campaign was ill-timed and rewarded the perpetrators of the massacre. "This will further encourage Islamic terror and is a shameful and unacceptable capitulation to fundamentalists''.</div>
<div align="justify">
He said the VHP campaign had to be called off because ``it is illegal and not because 1,500-strong Muslim terrorists waylay 55 helpless and trapped women and children in rail bogies in Godhra''. Dr. Swamy added that no leader could guarantee ``security and secular order to minorities unless he can also ensure that Hindus, who are 85 per cent of the population, are equally secure and safe. There cannot be any double standards in implementing this principle''.</div>

</div>
<div align="justify">
THE GRISLY GODHRA (Gujarat) episode of arson on Wednesday that left 50-odd passengers of the Sabarmati Express dead — most of them Kar Sevaks returning from Ayodhya — and the backlash of mindless violence it had triggered elsewhere in the State, as rampaging mobs have in a series of reprisals hit back at the minority community and its properties, are clear, disturbing pointers to the explosive communal buildup across the country as a direct consequence of the VHP's provocative and destructive campaign for the construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya. What happened in Godhra, about which there are different and conflicting versions, is a dastardly act and it deserves to be condemned unequivocally and in the strongest of terms, and no provocation can even remotely be brought in to justify the slaughter of innocent people. No effort should be spared by the Government to track down the culprits and bring them to justice at the earliest, even as quick measures are taken to ensure that the vicious spiral of violence does not get out of hand and a sense of security is restored among the people.</div>
<div align="justify">
This said, one cannot but pinpoint the harsh reality that events such as the horror of Godhra were tragically predictable as a result of the wounding and aggressive communal campaign of the VHP. It has been ruthlessly pursuing its agenda of commencing the temple construction on March 15, "come-what-may", and whipping up communal passions through mass mobilisation of Ram Sevaks — some one million of them — across the country. The whole buildup, which started gaining momentum about a month ago — with the VHP and its `sant parivar' giving an ultimatum to the Vajpayee Government to hand over the so-called `undisputed' part of the acquired land — has been typical of the much-too-familiar strategy of the Sangh Parivar, providing an ominous throwback to the runup to the Babri Masjid demolition on December 6, 1992. As a consequence of the audaciously provocative ways of the Ram temple proponents — as evidenced by their determination to start moving the carved stone pillars to the building site from March 15 and the regular convergence of frenzied Kar Sevak contingents on Ayodhya from different parts of the country daily since February 24 — the situation on the communal front rapidly deteriorated, with sharp polarisation of the majority and minority community, becoming explosive by the day. The dangerous implications of such a trend for a State like Gujarat — known for its high vulnerability to communal riots and its perceived status as a laboratory of Hindutva political doctrines — are alarming. In many respects, the evolving milieu resembles what obtained during L. K. Advani's rath yatra, an event that generated communal disturbance all along its route.</div>
<div align="justify">
To all the open and persistent threats by the VHP to flout governmental authority, judicial injunctions and the law of the land, the Vajpayee regime's response has been singularly devoid of any inclination to preempt a potential disaster. There has been on its part a shocking disinclination to make such interventions. Its attitude suggesting the maintaining of status quo at the disputed site strongly hinted of a narrowly partisan calculation that had to do with the just-concluded Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh. That the strategy did not pay off is a different story. It required a horrendous episode of Godhra's dimensions for the Vajpayee Government even to make an appeal to the VHP to stop its temple construction agenda. It is only now that the Government appears moved to take such elementary preventive steps like barring entry of Kar Sevaks in Ayodhya and screening passengers of Ayodhya-bound trains. The Vajpayee administration's response is a clear case of `too little, too late'. The need of the moment, post-Godhra and given the ominous portents of the worst fears of a communal conflagration proving true, is decisive action nation-wide that asserts a `no-nonsense' approach to the VHP's law-defying Ram temple construction plan and also inspires public confidence that the Government is indeed serious about upholding the rule of law. The present political uncertainty in Uttar Pradesh following a terribly fractured mandate only casts a greater responsibility on the Centre in this regard.</div>

<h3>
70 killed, Army on stand by</h3>
<br />
Express News Service & Agencies<br />

<br />
In the worst communal flagration in Gujarat in recent times, at least 70 people were killed - 38 of them burnt alive in Ahmedabad - as rampaging mobs attacked homes and set ablaze shops, buildings and buses in retaliation to Wednesday's killing of 58 people in Sabarmati Express.<br />
<br />
In a gruesome incident, 38 people of a minority community, including former Congress MP Ehsan Jaffri and 19 members of his family, were burnt alive in their homes in Meghaninagar suburb in Ahmedabad.<br />
<br />
Repeated calls for help from the former MP to the police failed to fetch them any succour.<br />
<br />
Police complained the rampaging mob outnumbered them and had set up road blocks hindering their movement.<br />
<br />
Concerned over the unabated violence during the VHP-sponsored Gujarat bandh, Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee on Thursday called a meeting of Cabinet Committee on Security which decided that Army will stand by in the disturbed areas of Gujarat.<br />
<br />
Defence Minister George Fernandes has left for Ahmedabad, the worst hit by the violence, to take stock of the situation.<br />
<br />
The streets across Gujarat turned into a battlefield on Thursday as the VHP-sponsored bandh turned violent. Rioters took to the streets, indulging in stabbing, looting and arson.<br />
<br />
Earlier in the evening, addressing a crowded press conference, Chief Minister Narendra Modi put the death count at 20, said curfew was imposed on 26 areas and over 700 were arrested in the state—including 80 in Godhra, the place of Sabarmati Express carnage. Army has been asked to stand by, Rapid Action Force and Central Industrial Security Force have also been deployed in sensitive areas, he added. "If possible, Army may be air-lifted from the border," Modi added.<br />
<br />
Asked about the Godhra incident, Modi said, "It seems to be pre-planned and judicial inquiry has been ordered to find out these elements." The probe is to be headed by a retired High Court judge, he informed. Minister of State for Home, Gordhanbhai Zadafia claimed that "as far as Ram sevaks were concerned, there was no slogan shouting at Godhra railway station while they were going or returning from Ayodhya".<br />
<br />
In the morning, 58 bodies were brought the Sola Civil Hospital from Godhra. Only 36 were be identified. A VHP spokesman said they would wait till evening after which they would arrange for a mass cremation at the Sola Crematorium.<br />

GANDHINAGAR, FEB. 27. Fifty-seven persons, mostly women and children, were killed and 43 sustained burn injuries when a coach of the Faizabad-Ahmedabad Sabarmati Express carrying `Ram sevaks' was set afire by a group of people on the outskirts of the Godhra railway station, about 200 km from here, this morning. The `Ram sevaks' were returning from Ayodhya.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
The incident led to tension in other parts of the State as a relief train, carrying passengers of the affected train, reached these stations on the way to Ahmedabad. At least two persons were stabbed to death in the Anand and Baroda railway stations, from where three more incidents were reported. Two incidents of stabbing were reported in the Ahmedabad railway station and in the Meghaninagar locality despite heavy police bandobust. A municipal bus was set afire in the labour-dominated Bapunagar locality of Ahmedabad. A dozen cases of arson were also reported from here.</div>

VHP calls for bandh</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
An indefinite curfew has been clamped in Godhra town and a ``shoot at sight'' order issued following the incident. The authorities are keeping their fingers crossed in view of a call by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and its sister organisations for a `Gujarat Bandh' tomorrow to protest against the ``ghastly'' incident. The State Government has appealed to the people to maintain peace.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
The Chief Minister, Narendra Modi, who rushed to the spot along with the Minister of State for Home, Gordhan Jhadaphiya, and the Health Minister, Ashok Bhatt, said the Government had ordered a ``high-level inquiry''.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
Making a brief statement in the Assembly, which is holding its budget session, Mr. Modi condemned the incident and said he had spoken with the Prime Minister, A.B. Vajpayee. He also announced an immediate compensation of Rs. 2 lakhs to the next of kin of the deceased.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
Attack was planned?</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
Mr. Modi hinted at the possibility of the attack being a ``planned'' one, pointing out that the train was ``attacked'' at the Godhra railway platform, where it halts for only about three minutes.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
Even as conflicting reports about the sequence of events kept pouring in, the Home Secretary, K. Nityanandam, said a group of people had thrown stones at the train as soon as it halted at Godhra, forcing the passengers to bolt the doors from inside. As soon as the train left the platform, it stopped in the yard, which the railway authorities said was because someone had pulled the chain. It was not clear who pulled the chain, but someone from the attackers having climbed into the train before it left the platform is not ruled out.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
As the train stopped, the miscreants virtually gheraoed the train and a flurry of stones poured in on the passengers. One of the coaches was doused with petrol and kerosene brought from a nearby petrol pump and set on fire. Also, burning rags were thrown in through the windows. The fire soon spread to at least four contiguous coaches, forcing many passengers to jump out. Those who could not - some 25 women and 15 children - perished in the fire.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
Eyewitnesses said that about 1,200 `Ram sevaks' were travelling in the train. The local people in the Muslim-dominated Godhra town had been ``irritated'' by the ``abusive language'' used by the `Ram sevaks' while they were going to Ayodhya by the same train a few days ago. They had reportedly raised slogans as the train approached Godhra on the return journey this morning.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
Senior police and railway officials, who rushed to the spot, found it difficult to recover the bodies, most of which were charred beyond recognition. The authorities said they had estimated the number of dead by merely counting the bones, adding that the exact number was not known immediately.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
A relief train was sent from Ahmedabad and the State Government arranged for 30 State buses to carry the stranded passengers to their destinations. The Home Minister said the Government was taking necessary steps to ensure that the disturbances did not spread during the bandh tomorrow.</div>

PTI reports:</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
Among the injured in the attack were 31 men, nine women and three children. Of them, 20 passengers, who sustained serious burns were admitted to a hospital at Godhra, Mr. Nityanandam said.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
One of the coaches of the 18-bogie train was completely gutted. Two coaches were detached at the Godhra station while the train with the rest of the coaches arrived at Ahmedabad.</div>
<div align="justify" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">
Mr. Vajpayee, who spoke with Mr. Modi over phone from New Delhi, has asked him to firmly deal with the situation arising out of the attack. The Union Home Minister, L.K. Advani, has also spoken to Mr. Modi.</div>

<b>SABARMATI EXPRESS FIRE: Curfew, shoot-at-sight orders in Godhra</b></h3>
Janyala Srinivas & Milind Ghatwai<br />

<br />
Tension has gripped Godhra town in Panchmahal district of Gujarat after Sabarmati Express bringing <i>Ram Sevaks</i> from Ayodhya to Ahmedabad were attacked and set on fire early on Wednesday. Indefinite curfew has been clamped in Godhra town and shoot at sight orders have been issued to police and paramilitary forces that rushed from Vadodara and Ahmedabad.<br />
<br />
Panchmahal Dictrict Collector, Jayanti Ravi, in a briefing said at least 30 persons were feared killed. Earlier she told The Indian Express, "It was difficult to count the dead as the bodies were completely charred, many of them reduced to only bones. I saw at least 20 to 25 of them."<br />
<br />
Home Secretary K. Nityanandam said earlier a gang attacked four coaches of Sabarmati Express which was bringing back about 400 <i>Ram Sevaks</i> from Ayodhya.<br />
<br />
The incident took place after the train had neared Signal Faliu, less than a km from the Godhra station and was heading towards Ahmedabad when it was attacked.<br />
<br />
According to witnesses, the burning was a sequel to an altercation between tea vendors belonging to minority community and the occupants of S-6. Sources said the vendors on alleged provocation from the occupants of S-6 returned with a strong mob of around 150. The angry mob then set afire the bogey, says Rohit Bhan.<br />
<br />
Kar sevaks Dinesh Goswami and Dilip Patel, who were returning from Ayodhya, told The Indian Express that a mob of about 400 attacked the train from both sides just when the train was pulling out of the station. They say, someone pulled the chain and the train came to halt.<br />
<br />
"The mobs, armed with swords, pelted stones at the train and locked both the doors of S-6. They threw many petrol bombs through the windows, which started the fire. We somehow managed to escape by opening one of the doors", Patel and Goswami claimed.<br />
<br />
They alleged that the police did not do anything. "If the police had acted swiftly the toll could have been much less," they claimed.<br />
<br />
The VHP Ahmedabad city office says its members from Godhra informed here that many of those who died were women. They are charred beyond recognition, City General Secretary Jai Shah said. The VHP cannot confirm whether all the dead are <i>Ram sevaks</i>.<br />
<br />
The batch of <i>Ram sevaks</i>, comprising Bajrang Dal activists, VHP members and others participating in the mahayagna, belong to Sabarkantha, Kheda, Anand and Central Gujarat region. They had gone to Ayodhya on February 22 by the Sabarmati Express.<br />
<br />
The Sabarmati Express left Godhra station around 12.40 leaving the two damaged bogies behind. The bodies were reportedly still inside S-6 when the remaining train left for its onward journey.<br />
<br />
A train carrying the rest of the passengers of the Sabarmati Express is reaching Ahmedabad. Security has been beefed up in Ahmedabad and especially in the communally sensitive Mirzapur, Kalupur railway station area and relief road.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, mobile patrolling has been started by the police in sensitive localities of Surat, where a similar incident had taken place in 1993. Eight persons were set on fire at the Surat Railway Station after being pulled out of a train.<br />
<br />
The VHP has given a call for Gujarat Bandh on Thursday to protest the incident.</div>

The Gujarat government has ordered a high-level inquiry into the Sabarmati Express fire in which six persons were killed, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi said in the Assembly. The Godhra violence issue was raised during the question hour in the Gujarat Assembly which is curently in session. To a notice put by BJP MLA Maya Kodnani, home minister Gordhan Zadaphia said six persons died in the attack on the Sabarmati Express on Wenesday morning at 7:30. The toll is expected to go up. About 38 people were injured in the attack. While 18 of the injured were released after giving first aid rest were hospitalised. Some of the injured are being brought to Ahmedabad in a train.<br />
<br />
Indefinite curfew has been clamped in Godhra town and shoot at sight orders have been issued to police and paramilitary forces that rushed from Vadodara and Ahmedabad.<br />
<br />
Zadaphia said in the Assembly that one boggie was completely gutted while three others were damaged. Health minister Ashok Bhatt and minister of state for Civil Defence, home guards Bhupendra Lakhawala have rushed to the spot to take stock of the situation.<br />
<br />
Intervening during the home minister's statement, Chief Minister Narendra Modi said he has briefed the Prime Minister about the attack and the state government has ordered a high-level inquiry into the incident. Modi said a compensation of Rs 2 lakhs to the families of each of the victims has been announced by the state government.<br />
<br />
Opposition leader Amarsinh Chaudhuray blamed the incident on the VHP saying the atmosphere was surcharged due to the kar seva movement. He said communal passions were inflamed in Godhra because the VHP indulged in inflamatory slogans disturbing peace. He said if the government had taken proper steps to restrain the VHP, this incident would not have happened.</div>

At least 56 people, many of them Ram sevaks returning from Ayodhya, were feared killed and 37 injured when unidentified people attacked and set ablaze four bogies of Ahmedabad-bound Sabarmati Express train at Godhra railway station in Gujarat on Wednesday morning, police and railway sources said.<br />
<br />
A senior official from the railway protection force told Reuters at least 50 bodies had been pulled off the train after the incident at Godhra, in Gujarat. Railway officials also added at least 56 people died in the worst attack.<br />
<br />
As the incident triggered violence in the town, 150 km from Ahmedabad in Panchamal, the authorities clamped indefinite curfew and ordered shoot-at-sight to maintain peace.<br />
<br />
Some <i>Ram sevaks</i> were still missing as rescuers rummaged through the badly gutted bogies, the sources said. Several bodies were retrieved from the burnt debris, they added.<br />
<br />
According to the sources, some miscreants boarded the train coming from Faizabad via Ayodhya, at Godhra station at around 8 am and attacked two coaches carrying <i>Ram sevaks</i>, with petrol and acid bombs. They also pelted stones at them, police said.<br />
<br />
Railway police opened fire to quell the attacking mob who pelted stones at the train which was stopped at the signal point near the station. Sporadic violence were reported in Godhra town after the news about the attack spread. There were reports of gunfire in the town.</div>

AHMEDABAD: Former additional chief secretary (Home) Ashok Narayan told the Nanavati-Shah Commission of Inquiry on Saturday that Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi took the controversial decision of bringing all the 58 bodies of the Godhra carnage victims to Ahmedabad.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
This decision, seen as a major provocation for the communal violence in Ahmedabad, was despite the fact that only 26 of them actually belonged to Ahmedabad, the rest belonging to Mehsana, Sabarkantha and Anand. The bodies were brought to the Sola civil hospital, where the atmosphere got charged by February 27, 2002 night.</div>

<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
According to Narayan, in the crucial meeting on the night of February 27, 2002 summoned by Modi, there was already a "shared perception" that Muslims had set the S-6 coach on fire, which would incite "unprecedented communal passions the following day". Moreover, the fact that VHP had called a bandh to protest against the killing of kar sevaks meant that reinforcements would certainly be needed for maintaining law and order the next day, Narayan said. Requisitioning of the Army was also proposed at this meeting, which only shows that the officers were apprehending serious trouble. The then DGP, K Chakravarthi, and Ahmedabad police commissioner P C Pande were also present at this meeting.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
This contradicts testimonies by senior police officers like Pande, who claimed to have no clue on February 27, 2002, of what was coming the following day.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
When cross-examined by Jan Sangharsh Manch lawyer Mukul Sinha, Narayan denied having advised Modi against bringing the Godhra bodies to Ahmedabad, but said, "we discussed this issue".</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
However, he could not recall if discussions on the preventive arrests of VHP leaders were also held in this meeting. Narayan too claimed to have learnt of the BJP supporting the bandh from newspapers. Interestingly, Narayan, who headed the home department, was not even asked to visit Godhra on February 27, 2002.</div>

<span style="border: 0px; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Sources close to Shelat said the advocate-general, during a hearing in the Gujarat High Court on Monday on a petition challenging the formation of the Banerjee Commission, refused to toe the line of the state government that there was no need for the Central government to appoint a new commission when the Justice Nanavati-Shah Commission appointed by it was already probing the train carnage and its aftermath.</span></div>
