Vote bank politics

The appointment of the Justice U.C. Banerjee Committee into the Godhra tragedy even while the Nanavati-Shah Commission was probing the Gujarat riots was vote bank politics. The outcome therefore does not surprise anyone.

The Godhra tragedy is accidental to one set of people and deliberate to another. In this argument, the loss of human life has been relegated to the background.

K.J. Rao,

When the Nanavati Commission is still engaged in probing the riots, what prompted the Banerjee Commission to hurriedly release its final report? If commissions of inquiry become willing tools to further the political agenda of the powers that be, their credibility will be the casualty.
