Rahul Gandhi's latest interview
Hitting out at BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi today demanded "legal accountability" for the "clear and inexcusable failure" of governance during the 2002 Gujarat riots and dismissed talk of clean chit to Mr Modi as "politically expedient" but "far too premature".
Contending that Mr Modi was answerable on moral grounds, the Congress' chief campaigner said, "beyond that there should be a legal accountability for the clear and inexcusable failure of governance under him".
Mr Gandhi was answering a question during an interview to PTI on the BJP's contention that Mr Modi had been given a clean chit by the Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team (SIT) and the courts and, therefore, he had nothing to answer for or apologise for about the post-Godhra riots.
He replied, "As you know, the SIT report had been seriously questioned by a number of credible experts. Grave flaws have been pointed out in the functioning of the SIT. The acceptance of the flawed SIT report by the lowest court has not yet been subjected to judicial scrutiny by higher courts."
