NEW DELHI, NOV. 4. Reacting to the statement by the key witness in the Best Bakery case, Zahira Sheikh, in Vadodara on Wednesday, the Safdar Hashmi Memorial Trust (SAHMAT) today said it was confident that the ``course of justice will not be derailed by this episode''. In a statement issued here, SAHMAT noted that Ms. Zahira's change in position indicated that the ``sinister forces operating to deny justice to the victims of communal genocide in Gujarat are still very active''. According to the Trust, Ms. Zahira's statement that Teesta Setalvad of Communalism Combat was coercing her ``lacks total credibility''. Further, the statementsaid: ``Even before Citizens for Peace and Justice took up the Best Bakery Case asking for retrial in the Supreme Court, Ms. Zahira had approached the National Human Rights Commission and given a lengthy deposition before it. The eyewitness accounts of several other witnesses in the Best Bakery retrial in Mumbai also go to show that Ms. Zahira is now acting under pressure.''
