CPM asks Govt to make public POTA panel's report
Sunday, May 29 2005 11:31 Hrs (IST) - World Time -

New Delhi: The CPM (Communist Party of India-Marxist) has asked the Union Home Ministry to make public the findings of the POTA (Prevention of Terrorism Act) Review Committee, which has reportedly recommended dropping of charges under the Anti-Terror Act against all the 120 accused in the Godhra train burning case.

The party said despite the POTA panel's report having been submitted as also the diaries of Gujarat's then Additional DGP R B Sreekumar, the "silence of the Union Home and Law Ministries is baffling".

Spotlight: Godhra-Chilling stories of the victims

A hard-hitting article in CPM organ 'People's Democracy' said the three-member POTA Committee, "has not found any evidence of the Godhra incident being a pre-planned terrorist conspiracy to attack the Sabarmati Express on February 27, 2002."

Maintaining that the UPA (United Progressive Alliance) came to power because of the mandate of the secular people of India against a communal combine, it said the legislation for dealing with communal violence was not even introduced in Parliament.

"The Home Minister should do well to read the Common Minimum Programme once more ... The patience of the democratic and secular sections of the society is being tested," the CPM paper said.
