Petition urging Chief Justices K.G. Balakrishnan and Ahmed Musa Ebrahim not to share a platform with Chief Minister Narendra Modi



To:  Supreme Court of India and Zimbabwe Embassy

Justice K.G. Balakrishnan
Supreme Court of India,
Tilak Marg,
New Delhi-110 001 (India)

Justice Ahmed Musa Ebrahim
c/o Ambassador Jonathan Wutawunashe
Zimbabwe Embassy
New Delhi - 110066, India


Honorable Justices K.G. Balakrishnan and Ahmed Musa Ebrahim:

As you may be aware that we are at an important threshold of the justice process in Gujarat against the Chief Minister Narendra Modi, in the case for conspiracy into mass murder (Zakia Ahsan Jafri and Citizens for Justice and Peace). For the first time in the history of this country the chief minister will be questioned by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) into direct allegations of his complicit role in the 2002 violence. You have been a staunch supporter of this struggle.

A disturbing piece of information has reached us (an invitation card for a function at a Law College in Ahmedabad this Sunday, March 28, 2010) where Chief Justice of India K.G. Balakrishnan will Preside, Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi will be the Chief Guest, and Justice Ahmed Musa Ebrahim, Former Judge of the Supreme Court of Zimbabwe, will be the Guest of Honour.

An association of the Chief Justices of India and Zimbabwe with a person who is being examined for his role in the killing of innocent people, under the directives of the Supreme Court will send out wrong signals and undermine the process of justice in Gujarat. Not long ago, Supreme Court of India had called the Chief Minister Narendra Modi a modern day �Nero�.

Your eminence, we the undersigned urge you not to share a platform with Chief Minister Narendra Modi, pending criminal investigations against him per the directives of your own institution � the Supreme Court. We sincerely hope that you will decline the offer of the Gujarat National Law University, or ask them not to invite Mr. Narendra Modi as the Chief Guest on their first annual convocation.

Respectfully yours,

Nishrin Hussain (nishrinh@yahoo.com)
Zuber Jafri (zuber@visionjafri.org)
Najid Hussain (najidhussain@yahoo.com)

Sincerely,
