New Delhi: The Congress did not waste one minute in grabbing the opportunity to attack the BJP on the Naroda Patiya massacre verdict on Wednesday. Lashing out at the main Opposition party, Congress leader Digvijaya Singh said that it was "evident" that in the riots, BJP leaders and officials were involved. 
 
A trial court in Gujarat convicted BJP MLA Maya Kodnani and Bajrang Dal leader Babu Bajrangi in the massacre that took place during the 2002 Gujarat riots. 
 
"It all happened with Narendra Modi's consent," said Digvijaya. "Kodani or any other person... who would have done it without Chief Minister's permission? Investigative agencies must think of it and see how much is the Chief Minister answerable. The justice should be delivered as soon as possible. It is clear that the minister and others acted under the behest of the Chief Minister because no minister would get involved in mass crime until they have the consent of the chief minister." 
 
The trial court has deferred till Friday the sentencing in the case. The court convicted 32 people and acquitted 29 others in the massacre. 
 
Welcoming the verdict, Union Law Minister Salman Khurshid said that he was glad justice had finally been delivered. "These things take time but I am glad that justice has finally been done." 
 
The minister, however, was guarded in his criticism of Modi. "I don't want to mix politics with this... but this raises question on the morality issue that is often raised," he said.
