Team to study plight of riot victims in Gujarat

Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI: The Communist Party of India (Marxist) on Monday said it was working out to send a delegation of different parties to Gujarat following the National Commission of Minorities report that 2002 communal riots victims there were yet to be rehabilitated.

CPI (M) Parliamentary Party leader Basudeb Acharia said that more than 45,000 people were in relief camps and no proper rehabilitation was done by the Gujarat Government even after four years. "We have decided to send a delegation comprising Left parties, Samajwadi Party, Rashtriya Janata Dal, the Congress and Nationalist Congress Party to visit and find out about it," Mr. Acharia said at a press conference.

The party also said that Railway Minister Lalu Prasad had not kept the convention of making a statement in the House and announce compensation for the victims of bomb blasts on trains recently. "This is the first time the Railway Minister has not made any statement in regard to the incident in which 8 people were killed and 35 injured," he said.
