Bengaluru, Jan. 29: The Union law minister, Mr M. Veerappa Moily, on Saturday demanded that the state government should hand over the church attack cases to the country’s premiere investigation agency, the CBI, in order to find an impartial outcome.
Speaking to reporters here, Mr Moily alleged that the commission in its interim report had stated that it had noticed the failure of the state machinery in tacking the crisis.
“In many case, the police excess were observed by the commission. Besides this, the commission had also recommended that those organisation spread hatred in the name of religion must be banned in the state. While submitting its final report, the commission has given clean chit to frontal organisations of Sangh Parivar and this itself is very contradictory in nature. So there is no investigating agency other than the CBI which is capable of probing into these attacks,” he said.
Mr Moily alleged that the state had adopted in arm-twisting tactics to make the judicial commission give a clean chit to the party as well as the Sangh Parivar outfits for the attacks on churches in 2008. He felt that the final report be read with the interim report given by it to understand the tactics adopted by the state government. He said that the truth cannot be suppressed and maintained that a thief is a thief.
