PM, BJP chief hindering judicial process in Ishrat’s
case: Congress
New Delhi, April 19 : The Congress on Tuesday accused Prime
Minister Narendra Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah of obstructing the judicial
process by blocking the trial of accused in Ishrat Jahan’s alleged staged
shootout case pending in a Ahmedabad court.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi and
BJP president Amit Shah are shamelessly misleading the country and obstructing
judicial process by blocking trial of accused in Ishrat Jahan fake encounter
case,” party spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said in a statement released here.
“Modi government is using a web of
selective news leaks, deceptive statements of its ministers and non-grant of
sanction for prosecution of the accused to ensure mistrial and re-investigation
through pliable investigating agencies,” he added.
Surjewala also asserted that Modi
and Shah need to tell 125 crore Indians about the real motive behind their
desperation to shut down the trial in Ishrat Jahan case.
“What is it that they (Modi and
Shah) seek to hide or are scared of? They need to place these things before the
nation. Modi government is relying upon patent falsehood to hide the facts of
the case,” he said.
The Congress party also accused the
prime minister of “intentionally hiding the charge sheet that was filed by the
CBI in accordance with the Gujarat High Court monitored investigation”.
“Modi government also deliberately
omits to point out that a case of murder and other offences under Indian Penal
Code was registered in Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case on the direction of
Division Bench of Gujarat High Court,” Surjewala said.
He accused the duo “of falsely
hiding behind the language of pleadings before the court to ensure that no
trial takes place and truth does not come out.
