Does Pillai serve on Board of Adani company? Cong

Congress today sought to take the sting out of former Home Secretary G K Pillai's remarks on the affidavit in the Ishrat Jahan case wondering whether it was a fact that Pillai serves on the Board of a Gautam Adani company.
"Is it true that former Home Secretary H'onble G.K.Pillai serves on the Board of Gautam Adani-led Adani Ports and Special Economic Zones Ltd?", party spokesman Manish Tewari said on microblogging site Twitter.
At the AICC briefing, party's chief spokesman Randeep Surjewala said in case of Ishrat Jahan encounter case, the District Judge of Ahmedabad who investigated the encounter found it to be fake. The Government of Gujarat went in appeal against that order.

"In a court-monitored CBI investigation, same findings were upheld. Once those findings are upheld not by one but two judicial authorities, then we would only refer to those and not enter into any speculation based on individual wisdom of a particular person.", he added.
Pillai told a news channel that the affidavit submitted to Gujarat High Court in 2009 about LeT links of Ishrat Jahan and her accomplices, who were killed in an alleged fake encounter in 2004, was changed at the "political level". P Chidambaram was the Home Minister that time.
On the controversy over Chidambaram's statement on Afzal Guru case, Surjewala said he has spoken to Chidambaram and also heard the tape of the interview...

"Very categorically, he has said that as Home Minister in then Government of the Day, of the Congress Party, pursued the case of Afzal Guru as a perpetrator of a most heinous crime and saw to it that ends of justice are fructified up to the Supreme Court. We demanded, we pursued, we advocated for harshest punishment which was given to Afzal Guru," he said.
