New Delhi: Attacking Gujarat Chief
Minister Narendra Modi for not showing up before the SIT in
connection with a Gujarat riots case, Congress today said that
it was "contemptuous" and showed that he "loves to hide".
"The SIT's direction to Narendra Modi to appear before
it shows the seriousness and importance attached to the issue
by the apex court," party spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi said.
"For Modi to avoid appearing on any ground or pretext
is contemptuous and would show that he loves to hide," he said.
Modi was summoned by the SIT with regard to a
complaint filed by Zakia Jaffery, wife of slain former MP
Eshan Jaffrey in the 2002 Gulburg society riots case.
