Kolhapur (Maharashtra): Union agriculture
minister Sharad Pawar today reiterated the stand
taken by his party colleague Praful Patel that there
was no need for debate once courts had ruled on
Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi's
role during the riots.
Responding to a query during a press conference
here, the NCP chief said, "If courts have given
their verdict, then the question of holding a debate
on it does not arise. We accept the court's order
and there won't be any debate on it."
Pawar had been asked to comment on Patel's
recent statement that any judicial pronouncement
on Modi's alleged involvement in the post-Godhra
riots should be accepted.
"....judicial system is the final recourse to getting
justice on any issue or to bring finality to any
controversy, and if the judicial system has given
any pronouncement, we ought to respect it. We
will not question it further," Patel
had said.
A report in a Marathi daily earlier this week had
said that Pawar had met Modi, BJP's prime
ministerial candidate, last month in New Delhi.
However, Pawar later refuted the report.
