New Delhi: Stressing
on communal harmony, a group of Delhi University students Monday
staged a street play calling for justice to the victims of Gujarat
riots 10 years ago.
The street play "Dharm" by a group of 16 students from Guru Teg
Bahadur Khalsa College was staged during a commemorating programme
organised by a Delhi-based NGO Sahmat that claims to be working
for communal harmony in India.
The play highlighted how society was being exploited and divided
on the lines of faith by vested interests.
Badri Raina, a Sahmat member, said Gujarat Chief Minister Narender
Modi's alleged involvement in the 2002 riots was known to
"everyone".
But, he said, victims of the "carnage" were still awaiting
justice.
"The cases of Gujarat riots are tranferred from one place to
another," he said, adding the police system had conspired and
"Gujarat had turned into an experiment ground for communal
forces".
"Modi has never visited any victim of the 2002 riots," Raina said,
taking a dig at Modi's Sadbhavna programme.
At least 2,000 people, according to unofficial estimates, were
killed besides many others were reported missing and many more
grievously injured in the carnage let loose by communal forces
following the burning of Godhra train carrying Hindu activists.
