British High Commissioner to India James Bevan called on Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi in Gandhinagar, a move being viewed as the first initiative by the United Kingdom to end the decade long disconnect with the State since the 2002 communal riots. Bevan, who later paid a courtesy call to Governor Kamala Beniwal, besides meeting State Congress president Arjun Modhvadia, was with Modi for about an hour discussing a wide range of issues where Britain could get engaged with Gujarat in the fields of trade, commerce and industry. Bevan said Modi had assured justice to the deceased. The envoy said a lot had changed since 2002 as Gujarat had emerged as one of the most developed States of the country and when Britain was looking forward to deepen its engagement with India, Gujarat could not be ignored. He pointed out that with the judicial process to bring the culprits of 2002 to justice having already taken off, Britain had decided to re engage with Gujarat even while attaching great importance to human rights and the rights of the minorities across the world. As a matter of fact, he said, he had also met some human rights activists and discussed with them his meeting with Modi.
