Naroda Patiya: Maya Kodnani jailed for 28 years, Babu Bajrangi gets death
TODAY, August 31,Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Maya Kodnani was sent to jail for 28 years, while Bajrang Dal leader Babu Bajrangi was sentenced to death for their role in the Naroda Patiya massacre that took place in 2002.
Kodnani will serve first ten years in jail for her conviction under Indian Penal Code Section 326 (voluntarily causing grievous hurt by dangerous weapons or means), after which her life imprisonment under Section 302 (murder) and other sections, which is for 18 years, will begin.
While 31 convicts in the 2002 post-Godhra case have been awarded a life term, one of the absconding rioters will be sentenced on a later date.
Special Court Judge Jyotsana Yagnik had earlier convicted them on charges of conspiracy and murder in the case, even as 29 other accused were acquitted.
Kodnani, who is the first BJP leader to be convicted in a riot case, was the sitting MLA when the massacre in which 97 people were killed on February 28, 2002, took place.
Kodnani and Bajrangi have been convicted under Indian Penal Code Section 120 B (criminal conspiracy) and 302 (murder).
The Naroda Patiya massacre is the largest single case of mass murder during the 2002 Gujarat riots that broke out following the Sabarmati Express train carnage near Godhra station.
The case has been probed by a Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigating Team (SIT).
WHERE ARE MAIN CULPRITS WHO TORCHED 56 HINDUS
IN SABARMATI TRAIN
I am unable to understand that what Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP from Gujarat to New Delhi is doing? Till date none of them, asked the Home Ministry to nab the real culprits of torching the Sabarmati train and burning the 56 innocent Hindus. Why they burnt the train? Though they had committed double blunders: 1. Damaging national property; and 2. Burning 56 Hindus. Its’ the ill-fate of the nation that none of the train torchers are nabbed, why? Were those burnt 56 Hindus not humanbeing?
Till we will not hook the root cause or the real problem creater(s), Hindu of this country will be punished and that day will not be far off when the real culprit will be wandering in free air and the Hindu in crime of react will be thrown in the jails. The Jaichands just for their appeasement policy for their votebank are bent upon to hide the root problem.
