Summoning of Modi opposed

AHMEDABAD: The Gujarat government has opposed summoning of Chief Minister Narendra Modi and some other senior ministers before the G.T. Nanavati and K.G. Shah judicial commission probing the Godhra train carnage and the subsequent communal riots in 2002.

Appearing before it here on Monday, government pleader T.S. Nanavati said there was no justification for summoning them for cross-examination as demanded by Jan Sangharsha Manch advocate Mukul Sinha, just on the basis of two compact discs registering their mobile phone call records.

The pleader said a mere listing of the phone numbers could not suggest their involvement in the riots.
