Many groups are trashing a report by
retired Supreme Court Judge Banerjee
concluding that it accidental fire
that caused the death of scores of
Hindu volunteers at Godhra in 2002.
The Parliament had already appointed a
Commission headed by Judge Nanavati to
probe the incident and Railways
Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav had
appointed this other commission
without due process. The conclusion of
Banerjee Commission is in sharp
variance to the report of the Railway
Protection Force (RPF) which talked
about a "mob attacking and setting
fire" to a coach carrying the victims.
Most opposition parties feel that
Yadav is politicking and this hasty
conclusion trivializes the incident
that saw anti-Muslim riots leaving
several hundreds dead.
