Maharashtra : The Maharashtra government has decided not to appeal against the acquittal of prime accused in the 1993 Mumbai riots case. The riots broke out after the demolition of Babri Masjid on December 6, 1992. The government decision has angered Muslims, Urdu press and intelligentsia.
The Congress-NCP government came to power promising to implement the Srikrishna Commission Report. But taking a U-turn, the government took the latest decision. This will further deepen the community’s disenchantment with the secular parties.
In his front-page piece titled ‘Muslim tanzeemon ki bedari ka waqt aagaya’ on 1st February, Farooque Ansari of the Urdu Times criticized the government’s decision. He accused the government of double-speaking as it assures Muslims of implementing the Srikrishna Commission Report on one hand and tells the Supreme Court that any action against Bal Thackeray and other Sena leaders will create a law and order problem, one the other.
