Ahmedabad: With the Gujarat High Court upholding the recommendations of the Central POTA Review Committee that there was no evidence to prove ‘conspiracy’ behind the Sabaramati Express carnage, it has set aside the ‘conspiracy theory’ of the state government-appointed Special Investigation Team (SIT). The team comprised Rakesh Asthana, J K Bhatt and Noel Parmar.
The three officials of the Gujarat Police had in their investigations concluded that a conspiracy was hatched in the Aman guesthouse in Godhra on the night of February 26, 2002. A huge quantity of petrol was procured to torch the S-6 coach carrying pilgrims from Ayodhya, the report had said. It was on the basis of the SIT’s findings that provisions of POTA were applied to the accused imprisoned in the Sabarmati jail. Reacting to the judgement, Sayeed Umarji, son of 75-year-old Maulana Hussain Umarji imprisoned for his alleged involvement in the carnage, said the “ruling has proved that investigating agencies have misused law”. He demanded action against SIT officials, saying the POTA provisions asked for action against the investigating agencies in case of misuse of law by them. Taken from Indian Express (Source)

The conspiracy theory was propounded by the Chief Minister with ulterior motives and the State Machinary adhered to it. The Gujarati News papers have also played the major role to advance it. When the truth prvailed, they became dumb-stuck. Afterall they have also played the major role to be-fooled the Hindu psyche. The news of High Court Judgement were black out by the champions of sensational journalism and never catered to readers.
