Muslims in India seek justice for deadly 1993 riots
By: Nizam Hussain
MUMBAI, India: More than 20,000 thousand Muslims on
Thursday October 25 staged a rally in India's financial capital
demanding justice for victims of communal riots that left hundreds
dead in 1993 and led to the country's worst bombings in retaliation.
Justice for the victims of the bombings was delivered in August after
14 years, with the conviction of 100 people, mostly Muslims. But those
responsible for the deadly riots have still to be brought to book.
The riots killed around 900 people, two thirds of them Muslims.
On Thursday, Muslims, many of them victims of the riots, demanded that
the recommendations of a judicial commission that investigated the
carnage be implemented.
The Mumbai riots followed the demolition of a 16th century mosque –
Babri mosque - in northern India by Hindu zealots in December 1992.

get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
