Zakia Jafri challenged the clean chit given by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) to then Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi and several others in the 2002 Gujarat riots.
Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal made this statement while arguing on behalf of Zakia Jafri, widow of Congress MP Ehsan Jafri who was killed during the 2002 Gujarat riots.
Ehsan Jafri, a former Member of Parliament, was among the 68 killed at Ahmedabad’s Gulberg Society on February 28, 2002, a day after the Sabarmati Express was burned at Godhra killing 59 people and resulting in riots in the state.
