Title: Regarding adjournment Motion in circumstances leading to the torching of compartment S-6 of the Sabarmati Ecxpress at Godhra. Mrs. Speaker disallowed Adjourment Motion.
: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In view of the gravity of the issue, yesterday I had given an Adjournment Motion with respect to the circumstances leading to the torching of compartment S-6 of the Sabarmati Express at Godhra. … (Interruptions) We have the report of the forensic laboratory and that report of the forensic laboratory of Ahmedabad made startling revelations. All this time the nation was told that some miscreants from outside torched the compartment and set it on fire, including its passengers, but now the report of the forensic laboratory has made it very clear that considerable quantity of inflammatory liquid petrol was being carried in the passenger compartment itself and that the fire came from within the compartment. Some of those from within the compartment lit the fire and torched not only the compartment but also the passengers who were travelling in it.… (Interruptions) All along we were told that the Ahmedabad carnage was the reaction of some miscreants from outside setting the compartment on fire… (Interruptions) The question is, what action the Government and the Railways have taken on the report.… (Interruptions)
MR. SPEAKER: Shri Banatwalla, I have disallowed your Adjournment Motion. I have permitted you to raise the issue which you have raised. Now I am calling Shri Ramji Lal Suman to raise his issue.
… (Interruptions)
MR. SPEAKER: Now, please conclude and take your seat.
SHRI G.M. BANATWALLA : When there was a period of tension, with Kar Sevaks coming and going, how was 60 litres of petrol allowed to be carried in a passenger compartment?… (Interruptions) That is a matter that the Government has to explain.
MR. SPEAKER: Nothing that Shri Banatwalla says will go on record now.
