New Delhi: The Communist Party of
India-Marxist (CPI-M) Tuesday asked Gujarat Chief Minister
Narendra Modi to resign over the killings of Ishrat Jahan and
three others seven years ago.
"The report of the high court appointed Special Investigation Team
(SIT) that the so-called encounter killing of Ishrat and others by
the Gujarat police in June 2004 was nothing but a cold blooded
murder," it said in a statement.
"This", it added, "constitutes a severe indictment of the Narendra
Modi government which has done everything in its power to shield
the criminals in uniform and to assassinate the character of the
19-year-old student.
"The order of the high court to file a fresh FIR and charges of
murder against the police officers must be immediately complied
with. The accused must be arrested without any delay."
The CPI-M also asked if such a cover-up could have taken place
without the acquiescence of the chief minister and top officials
in the government.
"The investigation must cover the role of the chief minister in
the cover-up and this will not be possible as long as Modi remains
in power. Justice for the victims demands that Modi quit office."
