Amit Shah said, "In this case, Modiji has been suffering for 19 years due to false allegations. 18-19 years of fighting, such a great leader of the country continued to fight without uttering a single word, enduring all the sorrows like the poison of Lord Shankar. I have seen Modiji suffer this pain up close because the legal process was going on so even though everything is true we can't say anything ... only a very strong minded person can take this stand. '

Amit Shah termed the allegations against the then Chief Minister Narendra Modi in the Gujarat riots as politically motivated and said, "The Supreme Court has rejected all the allegations. You can say that this decision proves that all the allegations were politically motivated.

Targeting the opposition, Amit Shah said, "Those who have leveled allegations against Modiji should apologize to Modiji and the BJP leader if they have a conscience." Modiji was also questioned but no one staged a protest and we upheld the law. I was also arrested but there was no protest.

Regarding the SIT probe, he said, "The army is headquartered in Delhi. When so many Sikh brothers were killed, nothing happened for three days." How many SITs formed? Became SIT after our government came. Are these people accusing us? '
