GUWAHATI: The Narendra Modi-led Gujarat government has been given the clean chit in the 2002 Gujarat riots by the Nanavati Commission.
Minister of State for Home Pradeepsinh Jadeja tabled the report which mentioned that the post Godhra train burning riots were not organised.
It is to be mentioned that the report is been tabled in the House five years after it was submitted to the then state government.
Over 1,000 people, mainly of the minority community, were killed in the riots, according to official estimates.
