Gujarat Riots- Zakia Jafri's Plea Against Clean Chit To Narendra Modi- LIVE UPDATES From Supreme Court Hearing
Sibal: Kindly come to the bottom. Milords, they write something and then they refute it, in small print and they publish the headlines in big print.
Sibal: Come to pg 69. Sandesh Newspaper. See item 4 there, this is 20th Feb, 2002. 'Avenge blood with blood'. This becomes a headline.
Sibal: Kindly see pg 45 - Hate speech, hate mongering and reportage. Kindly see pg 60. This is interview with Sheela Bhatt, famous journalist wrote this piece, 'It had to be done’ VHP leader says of riot.
Sibal: Kindly see pg. 35. Indiscriminate firing from Fatepur mosque was a complete fabrication. If you fabricate stories and put then on front page of a newspaper what would happen. What had happened would happen.
Sibal: The Magistrate says that I would not allow further investigation because the SC has not asked me to do so. The HC says the Mag is wrong you can go back to Mag and ask for further investigation.Our Vol. do not deal with the issued that have been dealt with by the Mag and HC
Sibal: Anything that was part of record apart from that, I am dealing with that. Kindly see Citizens’ Tribunal. I am not concerned with individuals. I am looking at my own constitution and saying to myself can this (non-investigation) be allowed.
Bench: HC has gone in to all relevant documents.
Sibal: I would love to see where the HC was dealt with this, the Magistrate or even the SIT. The SIT, Mag and HC were dealing with a few issues - 27th meeting, hate speech by the then CM, castigating Sanjeev Bhat. I am not dealing with any of those controversial issues.
Sibal: Kindly See pg. 28. Guild concurred with the report of NHRC that the responsibility of media had to be investigated.
Bench: Because the judgement of the TC gives the impression that all was dealt with but never such detail order was passed.
Bench: Date of this available?
Sibal: The Editors’ Guild? This was available with SIT.
Sibal: The SIT did not have to rely on my complaint, they had this document.
Sibal: These false propaganda to incite violence was circulated. None of this investigated. Now, pg 27 Disagreements about facts and interpretations.
