Ishrat Jahan case rocks Parliament, Cong walks out

#Ishrat Jahan case # parliament
New Delhi, Mar 10 (IBNS) The Ishrat Jahan case raised a furore in the Lok Sabha on Thursday after BJP's Nishikant Dubey moved the calling attention motion in the House and alleged that the Congress has been conspiring against Narendra Modi, and P. Chidambaram, as the then Home Minister, had changed the affidavit.
Home minister Rajnath Singh said that Congress was trying to politicise the issue resulting in a "flipflop" by the UPA government.
 
Congress lawmakers led by Sonia Gandhi walked out of the Lok Sabha over the issue.
 
Following the statement by Mumbai 26/11 conspirator David Coleman Headley on Ishrat Jahan, the Supreme Court on Mar 1 agreed to hear a plea to quash the criminal case against the Gujarat policemen accused of staging a fake encounter, according to media reports.
 
During his deposition through video conference in February, Headley had claimed that Ishrat Jahan was a suicide bomber for Pakistan-based terror outfit LeT and was involved in an operation ‘about shooting the police at some naka [checkpoint]’.
 
The Gujarat police claimed that all four were involved in a plot to assassinate then chief minister Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
 
Singh alleged that Headley reaffirmed what the UPA government had said in its first affidavit.
 
Anurag Thakur of the ruling party said, "Everyone knows Ishrat was a terrorist, except the Congress. The work that Ishrat Jehan couldn't finish, the Congress tried to do, they tried to finish their political opponents."
 
The government also blamed the Congress of misusing the CBI.
