The American Federation of Muslims of Indian Origin (AFMI) demands swift action against the perpetrators of the Gujarat genocide and prompt dismissal of the Narendra Modi led government in the light of the Tehelka revelations.
“The fact that the perpetrators of the gruesome 2002 anti-Muslim genocide have themselves confirmed their role and that of politicians and officials should leave no one in doubt. We demand the Indian government to dismiss the Gujarat government, impose President’s rule, and institute a fresh CBI probe into the 2002 genocide,” said Dr.Shakir Mukhi, President of the American Federation of Muslims of Indian Origin.
“The barbaric acts perpetrated by criminals in active collusion with the state and political machinery shouldn’t go unpunished. This is vital to stop them from recurring again,” he added.
“In addition, we also ask the Indian government to make arrangements for the settlement of the riot refugees in their original homes, from where they have been barred by communalist elements, and the restoration of their businesses.”
“We hope the India government will seriously endeavor to heed the calls of the civil society and take adequate measures in bringing justice to Gujarat,” Dr.Mukhi added.
AFMI congratulated the “courageous efforts” of journalist Ashish Khetan and the Tehelka team in exposing the perpetrators and asks the government ensure their safety and security.
