Rahul invoking Gujarat riots issue for Muslim votes: BJP

The acceptance of the flawed SIT report by the lowest court has not yet been subjected to judicial scrutiny by higher courts,” he had said.  

Objecting to Rahul's view about the SIT clean chit to Modi, Patel said, “It is unfortunate that Congress is doubting the credibility of SIT.

It shows that Congress is trying hard to divert the election agenda towards communal politics instead of facing Modi over development issues.”

In the interview, Rahul also said that specific allegations “pointing to Modi's responsibility” in the riots were yet to be adequately probed.

He further went on saying that talk of clean chit to Modi was “politically expedient”, but “far too premature”.
