New Delhi: The
Congress Monday did not comment on a Ahmedabad court verdict
convicting 23 persons in a 2002 riots case, saying that it was not
necessary to comment on every judicial judgment and appeals could
be filed over the verdict.
"It is not necessary to comment on every judicial judgment and one
should not express joy or happiness on the decision of the trial
court because it is first level and there are appeals on the
same," party spokesman Abhishek Singhvi said.
Reacting to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) comparing the verdict
with the trials in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots cases, Singhvi said:
"They (the BJP) should know how many prosecutions are going on in
connection with the 1984 riots cases."
A special trial court in Ahmedabad Monday acquitted 23 people, but
also convicted 23 for the massacre of 23 people in Ode village of
Anand district during the 2002 Gujarat riots.
The case relates to March 1, 2002 when, soon after the Godhra
train carnage, rioters set fire to a building, killing 23 Muslims
trapped inside in Pirwali Bhagol area of Ode.
