Ms Pandya’s appointment by the Anandiben Patel government assumes significance because she had been repeatedly demanding a probe into the assassination of her husband by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), not by the Gujarat police, during the tenure of the then Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi. Haren Pandya, who was the state home minister prior to the 2002 communal violence, was assassinated in 2003 near a public park in Ahmedabad while he had gone for his morning walk.
