Commendable

This refers to the news report "Demolition of religious places stayed" (May 5). The Centre has done the right thing in seeking a stay against a Gujarat High Court order to all municipal corporations in the State to demolish places of worship that caused obstruction on roads. The High Court should have understood the consequences of such actions. The riots in Vadodara have already claimed a few lives and the situation is still tense.

The editorial "Stoking communal flames" (May 5) highlights the efforts to ignite communal violence in Gujarat. The initial refusal on the part of the State Government to demand Central forces reveals its attitude. It should have ventured to build a positive consensus on the demolition issue.
