SIT for anti-Sikh riots would have set a precedent: BJP

NEW DELHI: After Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi appeared before the SIT to be quizzed for nine hours in connection with the 2002 riots cases, BJP on Sunday said a precedent would have been set if a similar body had been formed to quiz then PM Rajiv Gandhi in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.

"Now that Modi has appeared before the SIT, retrospectively, BJP feels that a similar SIT should have been constituted to examine then PM Rajiv Gandhi post-1984 riots. The precedent would have left enough ground for no one to disagree to a similar SIT probe today," BJP spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy said.

The party also said Modi had "silenced his critics" by appearing before the SIT. Another BJP spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman said Modi's critics had resorted to rumour mongering about the date of his appearance before the SIT and Congress had happily gone ahead and spread the rumours further.
