Reports of inquiry commissions of riots should be made public: Muslim forum

By TCN News,

Aligarh: “Not only the Gujarat government but the Congress governments at the Centre and states have failed to punish the guilty of riots that took place since independence and that indicate the working of Congress,” Said Prof. Razaullah Khan while addressing a riots review meeting held by the Forum for Muslim Studies & Analysis (FMSA). Aligarh Prof Khan pointed out that the Congress Party failed to even put up the reports of inquiry commissions on the parliament pedestal.

Secretary General of FMSA, Jasim Mohammad said, large number of riots took place since 1947. He recalled riots of Jamshedpur (1964), Ranchi (1967), Ahmedabad (1969), Neilli Assam (1983), Aligarh (1990) etc. for which inquiry commissions were constituted but their reports never saw the light of day and guilty were never punished.

FMSA vice president N. Jamal Ansari pointed out that the case of Gujarat (2002) is different where a state sponsored genocide had taken place and the central government should have declared acted.

Recent spate of communal riots in Uttar Pradesh too has been a reason of concern.

In the meeting, FMSA passed a resolution demanding the central government should put the reports of all the Inquiry Commissions in Parliament and the guilty must punished.
