Lamakaan invites you to a Panel Discussion on "The Dirty Business of Clean Chits" with panelists Kingshuk Nag, Prof.Jyotirmaya Sharma, Shafeeq Mahajir, Kalpana Kannabiran, Dilip Sineon marking the publication of the book, "The Fiction of Fact-finding: Modi and Godhra" by Manoj Mitta.

About the book:

'No instance of communal violence has provoked as much controversy as the Gujarat 2002 carnage. And none has been subjected to as much fact-finding, especially under the monitoring of the Supreme Court. Sifting through the wealth of official material, this book contends that the fact-finding - riddled as it was with ambiguities and deceptions, gaps and contradictions - glossed over crucial pieces of evidence and thereby shielded the powers that be'.

Scrupulously researched, The Fiction of Fact-finding exposes a range of unasked questions which helped Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi procure a clean chit. The book is written by Manoj Mitta, a senior journalist who has been tracking legal and human rights issues over 25 years.
