In a sense, Haren Pandya's taped interview with Outlook in August '02 proved prophetic. Last week, we released excerpts from the recording in which Pandya confirmed a meeting Narendra Modi had with some cabinet colleagues, senior police officials and bureaucrats on the night of February 27, '02, just after the Godhra train incident. At the meeting, he was said to have instructed them to "allow people to vent their anger and not come in the way of a Hindu backlash". While relating, Pandya had asked that his identity not be revealed, saying "I will be killed". He was assassinated six months later.

Pandya had reason to be nervous—rumour had been circulating that he was the minister who had deposed before the citizens' tribunal set up to look into the Gujarat riots which claimed at least 2,000 lives. After Outlook released the tape, more than four years after the minister's death, Justice Hosbet Suresh, retired judge of the Bombay High Court, confirms his identity: "The minister who deposed before us in the Concerned Citizens Tribunal was Haren Pandya, then a cabinet minister in the Modi government. Pandya told us two important things. One was about the meeting on February 27." The judge says Pandya said the seniormost police officials were told by Modi that they should expect a Hindu reaction.

"Haren told us about the Feb 27, '02 meeting... Modi telling the police not to contain the Hindu reaction." Justice Hosbet Suresh CCT

"They were also told they should do nothing to contain this reaction."

Justice Suresh says the tribunal went on to ask Pandya more details about Modi's role and also posed an all-important question: what would Pandya have done if he was home minister? "Pandya replied that I would have confined Godhra to Godhra itself. It was Modi who wanted to take Godhra to the rest of Gujarat," says the Justice. Pandya had testified before the tribunal just two months after the riots. His testimony was included in the tribunal's report although his identity had not been revealed.
