In a major victory for Narendra Modi, a Gujarat court today accepted that there is no prosecutable evidence against him in the 2002 communal violence in the state. The court rejected the petition of Zakia Jafri, whose husband Ehsan Jafri was burnt alive during the riots, challenging the closure report of the Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team.

- It is a great relief after 10 years of being faced with constant false allegations... The attempt to indict the chief minister with 62 other people as though this was part of a conspiracy has been rejected.Nirmala Sitharaman, BJP Spokesperson
- To blame the Chief Minister for what he has not done was a political conspiracy. That conspiracy stands defeated today.Prakash Javadekar, BJP Spokesperson
