Guilty
escaped justice
in anti-Sikh riots
New Delhi, April 20
The NDA-sponsored May, 2002 Nanavati Commission report,
submitted to Home Minister Shivraj Patil in February
2005 recommended that certain politicians escaped
justice due to bad investigations, according to IANS.
Retired Supreme Court judge G. T. Nanavati, who
probed the anti-Sikh riots of 1984, in an interview
asked the government to reopen cases against a "few
politicians" saying investigation against them
was not "properly carried out".
However, he refused to provide any names, saying
, "I have submitted my report to the government.
It is up to the government to act," the 70-year-old
justice said.
The latest of investigative commissions followed
on the heels of the earlier Jain-Banerjee Committee,
Poti-Rosha Committee and Jain-Aggarwal Committee.
