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.

Call to boycott products made in China may impact Chinese exports worth $17 bn

News Network

June 19,2020

Kolkata, Jun 19: The nationwide clamour for boycott of Chinese goods is getting louder amid the Ladakh face-off, with traders urging the Centre to direct e-commerce firms to restrict the sale of items from the Dragonland, which imports products worth USD 74 billion to India annually.

Of the total import from China, retail traders sell goods worth around USD 17 billion, mostly comprising toys, household items, mobiles, electric and electronic goods and cosmetics among other things, which could possibly be replaced by Indian products, a national trading body said.

"We, at 'Federation of All India Vyapar Mandal', are advising our members to clear their stocks of Chinese products and refrain from placing fresh orders. We are also requesting the government to restrict e-commerce companies from selling Chinese products," V K Bansal, the association's general secretary, told PTI.

Sushil Poddar, the president of the Confederation of West Bengal Traders Association, said its members have been told to shun trading in Chinese goods as much as possible.

Another national traders' body, The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT), has decided to step up its movement against the boycott of Chinese goods, under its campaign 'Bhartiya Samaan-Hamara Abhimaan'.

It released a list of over 450 broad categories of commodities, comprising 3,000 Chinese products.
