Zakia Jafri, Fearless Advocate for Riot Victims, Leaves a Lasting Impact at 86

Zakia Jafri, a prominent advocate for justice and widow of former Congress MP Ehsan Jafri, passed away at the age of 86 in Ahmedabad. She was a vocal critic of the 2002 Gujarat riots, where her husband was brutally killed. Zakia's relentless pursuit of accountability included challenging the Supreme Court's dismissal of a clean chit given to then-Chief Minister Narendra Modi by the Special Investigation Team. Her legacy as a survivor and champion for victims' rights will be remembered in India's ongoing struggle for justice.
