has said that he has never backed down from the truth, but he fears for his family’s safety.
“I have said what I had to in Supreme Court. It would be inappropriate for me to say anything more as I am a serving officer,” Bhatt told CNN-IBN.
“I filed an affidavit on 14th of this month (April, 2011) in the Supreme Court. I have gone on oath when recording this statement. This time the SIT summoned me under CrPC. I recorded my statement and my statement was recorded on March 23. Whatever I had to say, I have said in the affidavit to the Supreme Court”, he said to the channel.
He said that he was no going to resign as he had 13 more year to his service. ‘I have lot of tasks to do” said the police officer.
Bhatt claimed that he never revealed about the meeting where Narendra Modi categorically issued instructions that Hindus should be allowed to express their anger and Muslims should be taught a befitting lesson so that incidents like the burning of Sabarmati Express never happen again in Gujarat because he was never summoned by any forum to appear.
“All I am doing is keeping the truth. I am telling what I know as and when I am called and asked about. I am duty bound. I have taken a stand, I have given the statement under oath. I am not worried at all. I know I am giving out what is the truth,” he said.
