Guj riots: Modi summoned by SIT to appear on March 21

Ahmedabad, March 11 (PTI) Chief Minister of India's
western state of Gujarat, Narendra Modi, has been summoned by
the Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team(SIT) to
appear before it on March 21 for questioning in post-Godhra
riots in the state in 2002.

The summon follows a petition by Zakia Jaffrey, widow of
the late Congress MP Ehsan Jaffrey who was burnt alive in the
Gulbarg Society massacre in Ahmedabad during the riots.
"We have summoned the Chief Minister(Modi) and we will be
asking few questions based on the evidence collected till now.
Nothing more than this," SIT Chief Raghavan said.
Summons have been delivered to Modi to appear on March
21, he said.
Raghavan said the summon has been issued only in
connection with Jaffrey's murder. PTI GSN
