NEW DELHI: European Union, which has ended over a decade-old boycott of Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi, has been told by him that the 2002 riots in the state were unfortunate.
Modi took the unusual step of driving to Germany embassy here to a
luncheon meeting with envoys and representatives of several European Union
member countries that was hosted by German ambassador Michael Steiner.
The meeting remained undisclosed for one month till EU ambassador Joao Cravinho went public on Thursday.
Steiner told reporters on Friday that he had always maintained that
Germany had no intention of interfering in Gujarat assembly elections
and that it will take a "fresh look" after the election results.
"That is exactly what we were doing and part of it is to talk directly
to chief minister Modi. India is a democracy. We respect democratic
institutions. We respect election results in India and we have full
trust in its judicial system. Because of this respect and trust, we are
now in a new phase," the German ambassador said.
However, he
refused to give further details of the meeting but other sources in the
know said, during the January 7 meeting with EU delegation, Modi said he
will abide by the judicial verdict and that these events were
unfortunate.
Modi is also understood to have said that everything should be done to avoid such events.
Asked if the EU, which has boycotted Modi for over 10 years after the
riots, was softening up, Cravinho said, "The accountability of what
happened in 2002, I think is the matter that is of interest to Indians
and is of interest for people around the world."
He said that in India, there is a certain amount of emotion attached to what happened in 2002.
"And it is a matter that we will follow with great interest ..." he said.
Referring to last year's verdict by a Gujarat court convicting BJP
legislator Maya Kodnani and Bajrang Dal leader Babu Bajrangi along with
30 others for their role in the Naroda Patia riots, the ambassador said,
Indian justice might be slow but delivers.
"Some months ago,
there was end of one part of judicial process which shows that justice
in India may be slow but it produces results. And that has helped to
look towards closure of what everybody agrees is very very terrible set
of events," he told a select group of journalists.
According to
the sources, EU countries feel this is the right time to engage with
Modi, who has been elected third time and has no judicial verdict
against him. There is also a feeling among these countries that he is a
player at the national level.
Last October, Britain, a member
of the EU, had ended its decade-long boycott of Gujarat when its high
commissioner to India James Bevan met Modi to mark a "cordial beginning"
to fresh ties, with the two discussing opportunities for greater
economic cooperation.
In the first engagement with Gujarat in
10 years after it snapped all ties with the state in the aftermath of
the 2002 communal riots, the British high commissioner met Modi for
about 50 minutes, discussing a range of issues, including climate change
and investments.
