Centre Files Fresh Affidavit in Ishrat Jahan Case
September 30, 2009 Visionmp.com news service
In the Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case, the central government has filed a fresh affidavit in the Gujarat High Court, alleging that it never gave any justification for the action of Gujarat police and had no objection to an independent inquiry in the case.
The fresh affidavit filed in the court on Wednesday said that the Central Government was not concerned with the merits of the action taken by the Gujarat Police and anything stated in the (earlier) affidavit was not intended to support or justify the action of the State police
Slamming the Centre for filing an additional affidavit in the Ishrat Jahan case, the Gujarat Government called the move as double speak aimed at policy of appeasement and vote bank politics. "On several occasions, the UPA government had said that the job of the Central intelligence was to provide inputs while providing security at the ground level was the job of the respective state governments," state government spokesperson Jaynarayan Vyas said.
“If, on a proper consideration of the facts it is found that an independent inquiry and investigation has to be carried out, the Union of India would have no objection to this and would abide by the decision of the Court,” the affidavit filed by Under Secretary, Internal Security-VI in the Ministry of Home Affairs, R V S Mani said.
