Wasn't forced to state Ishrat Jehan as terrorist, says David Headley
Ishrat Jehan, a 19-year old, was killed by Gujarat top cops in 2004, after they suspected her of being involved terrorist activities. When questioned, the cops said that Ishrat had plans of killing Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the then Gujarat Chief Minister.
The action was slammed by the Indian National Congress, the present opposition party.
After Headley's shocking revelation, earlier this year, the BJP took the Congress apart over the Ishrat issue. The government accused the Congress of misleading the nation and surpassing facts.
Headley, a US convict of state, is serving a 35-year old jail term.
He is deposing from an undisclosed location in the US.
