The Gujarat government has tabled the final part of the Justice Nanavati-Mehta Commission report on the 2002 riots, in the Assembly on Wednesday. The report deals with post-Godhra violence in which more than 1,000 people were killed in the widespread communal riots across the State.

The Commission has given clean chit to the then Chief Minister Narendra Modi and others in post-Godhara riots. The Commission held that the riots were not organized and the State administration had taken all necessary measures to control the situation.

The Commission observed that the police were ineffective at some places, lacked the competence to control mob violence. There was also a lack of eagerness on the part of the police to deal with mobs during the 2002 riots, it added.
