Prominent citizens want Modi’s scalp Statesman News Service GANDHINAGAR, June 1. — Eminent citizens here will shortly table a charter of demands before Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh and Mrs Sonia Gandhi demanding legal action against Gujarat chief minister Mr Narendra Modi and his Cabinet colleagues for fomenting viollence in the state. At a meeting attended among others by Mr Harsh Mandar, Mallika Sarabhai, Father Cedrik Prakash, Shabnam Hashmi, Mr Batuk Vora, Mr Digant Oza, it was decided that demand will also be raised for a special judicial commission to inquire into the Godhra massacre to ascertain the exact cause of fire on coach S-6 of the Sabarmati Express. The charter demands immediate repeal of Pota “with retrospective effect’’. They alleged that the Gujarat government has blatantly misused the Pota to victimise the minority community. Mr Amit Shah, minister of state for home, strongly advocated use of Pota against antinational elements and announced that 175 people had been booked under this provision. “We need such laws to prosecute people for incidents like Godhra, Akshardham, Haren Pandya murder — the right place of them is Sabarmati Jail.’’ The Charter also wants the UPA government to support the recommendation of amicus curaie in Supreme Court Mr Harish Salve who proposed that a Supreme Court Judge and a senior police officer re-examine all cases of closure, acquittal and bail in the post Godhra happenings. A demand has also been made for a probe by a sitting Supreme Court judge into allegations of deliberate partisanship in the appointment of public prosecutors and judges. Gujarat government’s warning AHMEDABAD, June 1. — The Gujarat government will amend and implement the Gujarat Control of Organised Crime Act if the Congress-led government at Centre repeal Pota, state Home Minister Mr Amit Shah said here today. Mr Shah accused the Congress of opposing the law right since the time the NDA government implemented it at the Centre. Now the demand to remove Pota was more vehement as Congress was in power at Centre, Mr Shah said while replying to the budgetary cuts demands of Home department by the Congress in the Assembly.— PTI |
