Mangalore : The Justice Somashekara Commission report which was given by Justice Somashekar was completely wrong, said Justice MF Saldanha.
Speaking at the press meet held at Hotel Woodlands Hall on Feb 24, Thursday, he said that even though we had lot of evidences with to prove for the attack, we were not called for the witness for the fourth time and this was how the commission functioned.
He also said that we had got a 100 percent authentic document. The police officials had used tear gas on Christians which were not required. Later 176 people got admitted to Fr Muller’s Hospital due to these poisonous gases. This was the fascist operation, he added.
Later displaying the tear gases and stones found during the attack, P B D’Sa said that they had got the expired tear gases during the clashes at Permanur and Permude.
The effort has been to produce a Report of high quality, one of total credibility absolutely transparent and unbiased and above all, a faithful exposition of the absolute truth. There is also a powerful indictment of some of the Politicians and Police Officers but that was inevitable on the facts of this case, he added.
Speaking about handing over the case to CBI, Justice Saldahna said that ‘I always refrain sending any cases to CBI cause there is lack of officials. Another thing is that they are more burdened with large number of cases and it will take long time to reach our case, he said.
We have done a sincere job and Justice Somashekara has not even recommended any actions to be taken against culprits.
Speaking on Hindutva, he said that Hindutva is not basically not attacking the people, but the activists wrongly use the expression, he stated.
Later the the book containing of the reports by Justice Saldahna was released.
Other leaders like Walter Maben, Alwyn Colaco and Suresh Bhat were present at the press meet.
