 Chief
Justice of India to preside a convocation, “Nero” Modi Chief Guest
The
Milli Gazette
27 March 2010
PRESS RELEASE
Daughter of the murdered M. P. Ahsan Jafri urges Supreme Court Justice K.
G. Balakrishnan not to preside over the convocation where Chief Minister
Modi will be Chief Guest
A petition started by the daughter of Ahsan Jafri, the former M. P. who
was murdered during the Gujarat massacre of 2002, and signed by hundreds
of peace loving Indians and other world citizens, is submitted to Justice
K. G. Balakrishnan, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of India, and
Justice Ahmed Musa Ebrahim, the Former Judge of the Supreme Court of
Zimbabwe, urging them not to share the platform with the Chief Minister of
Gujarat, Shri Narendra Modi.
Justice Balakrishnan and Justice Ahmed Musa Ebrahim are invited by the
Gujarat National Law University to preside over its first annual
convocation, to be held on Sunday, the 28th of March, where CM Narendra
Modi would be the Chief Guest.
Outlining the concerns of the victims of Gujarat massacre of 2002, the
petition says, “An association of the Chief Justices of India and Zimbabwe
with a person who is being examined for his role in the killing of
innocent people, under the directives of the Supreme Court will send out
wrong signals and undermine the process of justice in Gujarat.”
It further states, “we are at an important threshold of the justice
process in Gujarat against the Chief Minister Narendra Modi, in the case
for conspiracy into mass murder (Zakia Ahsan Jafri and Citizens for
Justice and Peace). For the first time in the history of this country the
chief minister will be questioned by a Special Investigation Team (SIT)
into direct allegations of his complicit role in the 2002 violence.”
The Petition applauds the role played by the Supreme Court in ensuring
justice in Gujarat, “You have been a staunch supporter of this struggle”,
and reminds the Justices, “Not long ago, Supreme Court of India had called
the Chief Minister Narendra Modi a modern day “Nero”.
