“Show moral courage to accept the truth”

Never in the history of Indian governance has the probe been so exhaustively conducted

The SIT report has shattered the credibility of the falsifiers who are out to malign Gujarat

“These elements have committed an unpardonable crime by obstructing the process of law instead of getting justice for victims”

The truth and justice has prevailed

State government spokespersons Health Minister Jay Narayan Vyas and Minister of State for Energy Saurabh Patel have challenged the people who are spreading lies regarding the final report of Special Investigation Team (SIT) in relation to the allegations made by Mrs. Jhakiya Jafri.

Even as the Supreme Court appointed SIT has exonerated the Chief Minister, some elements have not ceased from spreading lies to mislead the people of Gujarat and to defame the Gujarat government. “They should show moral courage to accept the truth”, spokespersons said.

Mr. Vyas said that these elements have relentlessly spread falsehood during last decade. But the comprehensive report prepared by the SIT under direct supervision of the Supreme Court has brought the truth before people. This report has shattered the credibility of such falsifiers. The truth and justice has prevailed.

A clear message should go to those who are indulged in devising plots to tarnish the image of democratically elected state government of Gujarat that they have committed an unpardonable crime by obstructing the process of law instead of getting justice for victims. The people of Gujarat will never forgive these people, the spokespersons said.

The spokespersons said the history of Indian governance has seen many incidents of communal violence. But this is the first instance when the entire probe has been so exhaustively conducted. “The SIT has examined lakhs of documents, thousands of witnesses and complaints received by them, not keeping their investigations only limited to Zakia Jafri’s complaint”, they said. The SIT has prepared as many as 17 reports and in the final report it has put the truth before these falsifiers, negating their false allegations, they added.

Even after the SIT report, these elements have kept on maligning the state government by linking absolutely baseless things to the case in a bid to hide their own faults. They have kept on playing political games to fulfill their political interests, the spokespersons said.

The present state government is committed to the principals of humanitarian governance. Even in the midst of such falsehood the state government had given complete support to the judiciary. The desire of some elements to fulfill their own political ambitions has caused great harm to the victims as it has delayed the process of justice. The peace, unity and harmony among the six crore Gujaratis is of prime importance for the state government. No one can hold back the state government in its march towards progress, the spokespersons said.
