Muzzafarnagar, January 24: Darul Uloom Deoband’s new head Maulana Ghulam Mohammed Vastanvi, who had recently praised development works in Gujarat, has said that CM Narendra Modi cannot be be given a “clean chit” in the 2002 riots.
“Those who were involved in Gujarat riots should be punished,” the cleric said at the seminary after taking charge as VC and added that he has never praised the BJP leader.
“How can something like this be said about a cruel man like him. I have not given a clean chit to him (Modi)…. We will pray that those who were involved are not spared…. Those who were killed will not return,” Vastanvi said. The VC said he raised the point of the state`s development because it involves the people of every community in Gujarat.
