Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi gets a clean chit in the 2002 Gujarat riots case. Modi was the chief minister of the state during that time. He was accused of instigating violence. This had led to murder of hundreds of Muslims across Gujarat. The Nanavati Commission stated that police were inefficient in handling violence. The report was tabled in the Gujarat assembly on Wednesday.

This is an injustice to the families of over 2000 lives who were killed under Modi‘s watch as CM in 2002. Under the Modi Shah led BJP government, human lives have become a joke in this nation. #GujaratRiots- Srinivas BV, Congress leader.
