``Banerjee report not the final word''

NEW DELHI, JAN. 24. Giving a new dimension to the raging controversy over the Godhra train tragedy, the judge probing the Gujarat communal violence has said the Justice U.C. Banerjee Committee's interim report — describing the incident as an "accident" — was not the final word, and that the incident could have been a terrorist act.

"As a report prepared by a retired Supreme Court Judge, we will certainly give it weight, but it cannot be conclusive. We will have to take into account the evidence provided by several witnesses before we can give our report on what happened in Gujarat," Justice G.T. Nanavati told NDTV.

"Nothing can be ruled out at this stage," said Justice Nanavati, who heads the two-member Commission appointed by the Gujarat Government to probe the Godhra train tragedy and its bloody aftermath.
