The BJP's prime ministerial candidate and
Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi is likely to "share his
thoughts" on Friday on the Gujarat court's verdict in the 2002 Gujarat
riots case in which criminal charges had been filed against him.
Modi said that he would share his thoughts
on the judgement today on twitter.
On Thursday, the court had rejected a
petition by Zakia Jafri, whose husband Ehsan Jafri was burnt alive during the
riots. In her petition, Zakia had asked for Modi to be prosecuted for
conspiracy in the communal violence that had rocked the state in 2002.
Thursday's order comes as a huge relief to
Modi who is the BJP's prime ministerial candidate.
Modi was in Goa when the judgement was announced.
Upon hearing about it, Modi tweeted, "Satyamev Jayate! Truth alone
triumphs."
This tweet was followed up with a quote
from Mahatma Gandhi.
Reacting to the judgement the BJP had said
that it was a moral victory for the BJP and Narendra Modi.
