Attacking Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi for not showing up before the SIT in connection with a Gujarat riots case, Congress on Sunday said that it was "contemptuous" and showed that he "loves to hide".
"The SIT's direction to Narendra Modi to appear before it shows the seriousness and importance attached to the issue by the apex court," party spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi said.
"For Modi to avoid appearing on any ground or pretext is contemptuous and would show that he loves to hide," he said Modi was summoned by the SIT with regard to a complaint filed by Zakia Jaffery, wife of slain former MP Eshan Jaffrey in the 2002 Gulburg society riots case. PTI
