Mumbai riots victims have lost faith in admin

New Delhi, Sept 23: The National Commission for Minorities(NCM) on its visit to Mumbai found that the victims and relatives of the 1992 riots had completely lost their faith in the administration.

The Commission had recently visited the Maharashtra capital to pursue with the state government the implementation of the Srikrishna Report on the riots in which several policemen and local political figures had been indicted.

''We found that the administration has not only been apathetic but antagonastic to those who approached it for justice. Women told us that when they visited police stations after the riots in search of their brothers, husbands and sons, they were turned away by policemen and obscene language used against them,'' NCM chairperson Mohammad Shafi Qureshi told UNI
