GODHRA, INDIA, March 2, 2002: India’s Defence Minister George Fernandes on Saturday endorsed the BJP’s contention that the unprecedented attack on the Sabarmati Express passengers, mostly Ram Sevaks, at Godhra railway station on February 27 looked “pre-meditated.” “It looks like so,” Fernandes told reporters here when asked whether he agreed with the views of BJP leaders including Chief Minister of Gujarat, Narendra Modi, that the attack on train passengers was not spontaneous and was rather carried out in a clinically precision manner under a pre-planned strategy.
