Ahmedabad: Chief Justice of India (CJI) K G Balakrishnan and Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday attended a convocation function in Ahmedabad.
Families of victims of Godhra riots and other activists had written an open letter addressed to the Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan and the Zimbabwean Embassy asking them not to share the dais with the Gujarat Chief Minister at the first convocation ceremony of Gujarat National Law University in Ahmedabad.
The letter said, "An association of the Chief Justice of India with a person who is being examined for his role in killing of innocent people, under the directives of the Supreme Court will send out wrong signals and undermine the process of justice in Gujarat." (Read full letter)
