1500 ration card holders from the same 9 villages, also fled, homeless today. UP Govt says they're not riot victims- no comp, rehab! (5)

People from villages adjacent to those 9, also fled in terror. Govt says victims of communal terror r not victims of communal violence! (6)

Deaths in Baghpat & people who fled from Baghpat in terror – govt denies these r communal fallout. (7)

In the camps, there's no regular medical care. Patients of cancer, TB, asthma, grave illnesses lying with zero care. (8)

One woman miscarried 12 days ago – yet 2 b able to get uterus cleansed. Children with diarrhea in danger. (9)

The number of riot deaths is at least 125, double the number admitted by the UP Govt. Named accused in murder, rape, cases roam free (10)

SC asked UP Govt 2 ensure facilities in relief camps. Yet Govt trying to force them to close – 2 avoid bad publicity & scuttle justice (11)

#Saifai #Foreignjunket -UP Govt fiddling when Muz burns. Demand accountability point by substantial point. Else we can't pin them down (12)
— Kavita Krishnan (@kavita_krishnan) January 9, 2014
Ask Centre why no actn under Article 355 while UP Govt abdicates constitutional responsibility 2 prevent, punish riots, ensure rehab? (13)
— Kavita Krishnan (@kavita_krishnan) January 9, 2014
Muzaffarnagar's victims are mostly poor Muslim labourers who lost homes, livelihood, lives, security. (14)
— Kavita Krishnan (@kavita_krishnan) January 9, 2014
Unless perpetrators r arrested, victims can't return safely. Rapists, killers roam free. Why isn't UP Govt arresting them? (15)
— Kavita Krishnan (@kavita_krishnan) January 9, 2014
Apart from relief, rehab, return, compensation – justice should be our top priority re Muzaffarnagar. (16)
