New Delhi, June 27 (UNI): The Congress on Monday said the Supreme Court judgment in the Zakia Jafri case is deeply disappointing.
Congress Media department head Jairam Ramesh said in a statement despite the judgment dated June 24, 2022, some fundamental questions still remain unanswered.
The Supreme Court ruling upholding the SIT’s clean chit to the then Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi and 63 others in the 2002 communal riots, and asked whether Modi and the state government will ever be held accountable.
“What is the Constitutional and moral responsibility of the Chief Minister and state government in cases of large-scale communal riots? Is the responsibility in such cases, only ever that of the Collector and Dy. Commissioner of Police and not of political executive?” Ramesh asked.
“Will the Chief Minister, Cabinet and State government never be held accountable, even if a State is thrown into a circle of violence and riots?”
