After Shah, it’s Modi’s turn, says Congress’s Shakeel Ahmed

Targeting Narendra Modi after his close aide Amit Shah’s arrest in a fake encounter case, Congress on Sunday said the Gujarat Chief Minister should be prepared to face some “uncomfortable” questions in the probe. The Congress party claimed that the BJP was “nervous” with the developments in the Supreme Court-monitored probe in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case and hence using pressure tactics to block the probe.

“Shah was only a Minister of State for Home and MoS can transfer IPS officers. The transfer of many IPS officers in the state was made by Narendra Modi. It is our understanding that these uncomfortable questions will be asked of Modi and he will have to answer them,” Congress spokesman Shakeel Ahmed said here.

“BJP is nervous and afraid that the investigation may go beyond Amit Shah and hence using pressure tactics to block further investigation into the case,” Ahmed said.
