Zaheera happy with SC stricture on Modi

September 12, 2003 21:41 IST

Zaheera Shaikh, the feisty eyewitness who took up cudgels against the Narendra Modi government in the Best Bakery riots case by demanding reopening of the case, on Friday expressed satisfaction over Supreme Court's criticism of the state government in the case.

"I feel deeply satisfied that my patience and sufferings have been justified. My faith in getting justice is very firm," she said in a statement released through 'Citizens for Justice and Peace'.

"All the loneliness that we have suffered has been worthwhile for this," she said. "I also hope that the re-trial of this case will take place out of Gujarat."

In a scathing attack on the Gujarat Government for filing an 'eye wash' of an appeal in the Best Bakery riot case, the Supreme Court today doubted the state's intentions on punishing the guilty and observed that it should quit if it cannot punish the rioters.
