‘Which door to knock now for justice?’ Urdu press asks after SC verdict on 2002 SIT -Abantika Ghosh

-ThePrint.in

ThePrint’s round-up of how the Urdu media covered various news events through the week, and the editorial positions some of them took.

New Delhi: The arrest of social activist Teesta Setalvad and Indian Police Service (IPS) officer R.B. Sreekumar Sunday following the Supreme Court’s clean chit to Prime Minister Narendra Modi brought back the 2002 Gujarat riots on the front pages of Urdu papers. 

On 24 June, the Supreme Court dismissed a petition by Zakia Jafri challenging the Special Investigation Team’s (SIT’s) clean chit to Modi in connection with the Gujarat riots. Zakia’s husband Ehsan Jafri, a Congress leader and a former Member of Parliament, was killed in the Gulberg society massacre in Ahmedabad on 28 February 2002.

Setalvad, who supported Zakia’s petition, and former Gujarat Director General of Police Sreekumar were arrested on 26 June on charges of criminal conspiracy and forgery, among others. 

Editorials in Urdu papers were critical of the arrests, calling it a vendetta against those who oppose the ruling dispensation.

Among other news that made it to Urdu papers was the arrest of Mohammed Zubair, co-founder of Alt News, a fact-checking website Wednesday, the political turmoil in Maharashtra, the presidential elections and the brutal murder of a tailor in Udaipur.
