Zakia seeks documents related to complaint against Modi

May 10, 2012

Ahmedabad, May 10: Zakia Jaffery, wife of Congress leader Ehsaan Jaffrey slain in post-Godhra riots, today moved a court seeking documents from SIT related to the probe carried out by the agency, based on her complaint against Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and others, with regards to the 2002 violence.

In an application to the metropolitan court here, Zakia's lawyer Sadik Sheikh demanded 18 different documents related to SIT investigations.

The documents include preliminary inquiry report of SIT official A K Malhotra submitted to the Supreme Court on May 12, 2010, further investigations reports filed periodically by the agency in the apex court and comments of SIT chairman R K Raghavan dated May 14, 2010.

However, lawyer of SIT R S Jamuar opposed her application, saying the Supreme Court had directed to provide final report and documents related to the probe.

"Most of those reports which are being asked by the complainant were given in a sealed cover to the Supreme Court and if they wish they can obtain them from the apex court," Jamuar told the court.

After hearing both sides, Metropolitan Magistrate M S Bhatt scheduled the hearing on the application on May 19.

Zakia had to file compliance report in the court that she had received all the documents from the SIT related to her complaint.

Following the court's order, the SIT had given copies of its final report, including the report of amicus curaie Raju Ramhandran and other documents to Zakia on May 7.

In her complaint, Zakia had alleged complicity of Modi and senior officials in the communal violence.

SIT has given a "clean chit" to Modi in its closure report.

Zakia's lawyer further said they have received some compact discs which are inaudible. Some of the photocopies of the originals provided to them by SIT are also unreadable, he added.

To this, Jamuvar said SIT has submitted the items in the court after a gap of ten years as the incidents relate to 2002. "We also have the same CDs and the complainant can examine the original CDs which are available with SIT," he added.

Sheikh agreed to carry out the inspection of the original CDs and documents that are available with SIT.

While the SIT report gives clean chit to Modi, Raju Ramchandran says Modi can be prosecuted under various sections of IPC.

'COVID-19 fight can't be excuse to crush human rights, exploit workers'

News Network

May 11,2020

May 11: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday said many states were amending labour laws, but the fight against the novel coronavirus pandemic cannot be an excuse to exploit workers, suppress their voice and crush their human rights.

Gandhi said there cannot be any compromise on the basic principles by allowing unsafe workplaces.

"Many states are amending labour laws. We are together fighting against corona, but this cannot be an excuse to crush human rights, allow unsafe workplaces, exploit workers and suppress their voice," he said.

"There cannot be any compromise on these basic principles," he added.

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh also said it would be dangerous and disastrous to loosen labour, land and environment laws in the name of economic revival and stimulus.

"In the name of economic revival and stimulus, it will be dangerous and disastrous to loosen labour, land and environmental laws and regulations as the Modi govt is planning.

"The first steps have already been taken. This is a quack remedy like demonetisation," Ramesh tweeted.
