"The investigation must cover the role of the Chief Minister in the cover-up and this will not be possible as long as Modi remains in power. Justice for the victims demands that Modi quit office," the statement said.
"Could such a cover-up take place without the acquiescence of the Chief Minister and top officials in the Government? It is on record that at every stage of the case the Government tried to subvert the processes of justice, just as it had done in the nine cases pending before the courts on the genocide of 2002," it said.
The party was also of the view that the role of certain senior officers of central agencies, who were "complicit in the faking of evidence" must also be investigated. The Central Government must immediately take appropriate action on this count, it added.
