Modi quizzed over anti-Muslim riots

Top Hindu nationalist leader and the Chief Minister of Gujarat, Narendra Modi, appeared yesterday before a panel probing the 2002 anti-Muslim riots in Gujarat. It was the first time that Modi has been questioned by investigators to establish if he had a role in the riots that killed around 2,000 Muslims. "The panel has had detailed interaction with me. I have said before India's constitution and the law are supreme… no one is above the law," Modi said as he emerged after questioning.
