The Polit Bureau of
the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement:
The interim report
of the Justice U.C. Banerjee Committee probing the fire in the Sabarmati Express
at Godhra in Gujarat on February 27, 2002 has nailed the lie of the Narendra
Modi administration and the RSS/BJP outfits.
The interim report
concludes that the Godhra incident
was an “accident, not a deliberate attempt”.
It further ruled out the possibility of an `inflammable liquid’ as the
cause of the fire. The
report also concludes that the fire was not caused by any inflammable liquid or
object thrown from outside the coach.
The report, thus,
negates the `inflammable liquid theory’ propagated by Narendra Modi
administration and the BJP/RSS. This
was used to unleash the most barbaric State-sponsored communal genocide in
Gujarat with the express purpose of sharpening communal polarisation and, thus,
gaining electorally. Such sinister
cynical recourse to vitiate communal harmony for political/electoral benefits by
the RSS/BJP is further exposed.
