No action warranted against Modi:SIT reports to Supreme

The Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigative Team (SIT) report has said that no action was warranted against Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi in connection with his alleged role in 2002 Gujarat communal riots.

According to the report, the Narendra Modi government-appointed public prosecutor was having affiliations with Sangh Parivar organisations, but there was no allegation of professional misconduct against the prosecutor.

The report further says that Mr Modi held a meeting on law and order in the state following the burning of a train at Godhra.

Though the postings of police officers were questionable, it was the prerogative of the state, it said.

The report has concluded that no legal action was warranted against him.

A copy of this report has already been submitted to the Supreme Court by the SIT, headed by former CBI Director R K Raghavan.
