[Reader-list] If Modi is innocent, why is he afraid of SIT

[A.K. Malik]

Dear Mr Javed,
              The Congress Party has all along been advocating "Let The Law Have its own Course". Every one knows how they have scuttled the Bofors Case. If Modi has not appeared before the SIT, Let the Law find what next is to be done.Is there a punishment for not appearing before the SIT? So file a case and punish him for not appearing before SIT. Let Modi be punished according to the prevalent law of the land.Even Kasab is being given rights to defend himself, but poor Modi doesn't even have the rights of an ordinary citizen.Mr Modi, if he is guilty, needs to be punished but according to Law.No one including Congress Party wants justice to be done but wants to play POLITICS. 
Regards,

(A.K.MALIK)
