2. There are some state intelligence reports of a Vishwa Hindu Parishad(World Hindu Council) held at 4 p.m. at Ahmedabad on February 27, 2002. Who attended this meting? Were any elected members of the Gujarat legislature , and the state cabinet present?
3. Why were the bodies of the victims of Godhra train carnage brought to Ahmedabad, and why were they paraded in streets?
