But the army has been deployed in only four cities out of 36 > cities in the state which are under curfew while extremist Hindus are still > on the rampage to 'avenge' the alleged involvement of 'Muslims' in the train > incident on Wedenesday in which Temple volunteers were attacked by people of > the washermen community after the volunteers misbehaved with their women. > As violence continued unabated on Friday ten more towns were placed under > curfew, bringing the total towns under curfew to 36 in Gujarat. Fresh > communal violence in Ahmedabad and its outskirts early Friday claimed 30 > more lives, including 27 burnt alive while asleep. > Despite the presence of the Army in Ahmedabad, mobs are still out on the > streets. In addition to the human casualties, over a dozen mosques have been > damaged or demolished during the disturbances. > Some of the worst violence occurred in Naroda-Patia area of Ahmedabad where > in one single act of carnage, a mob of around 5,000 persons killed nearly 65 > Muslims in one stroke. The victims included a 20-day-old baby. > "There was a huge mob of around 5000 people who stormed our house and pulled > me and my parents out. They doused us with petrol and set us ablaze...my > parents are dead and see what they have done to me", cried 15-year-old Shah > Jahan, a resident of Noorani Masjid area in Naroda-Patia, pointing to her > face that looked like a horror-mask dripping with blood. Victims said that > they were targeted first on Thursday afternoon by a mob that torched the > entire locality within minutes. At least 58 dead bodies had been recovered > yesterday and scores admitted in the Civil Hospital with serious burn > injuries. > Mohammad Farooq, a painter, has lost his three children and wife to the mob > frenzy. He is left with three children, all admitted to hospital with > serious burn injuries. "They burnt down everything. My wife is gone...I do > not know whether these motherless children will be able to live or not...In > one stroke, they wiped out all that I had," sobbed Farooq as he nursed his > three children, all suffering from 50 to 70 per cent burns. Most of the > victims in the Naroda-Patia area are women and children, many of whom are > struggling for life alone in the hospitals. Their relatives are either dead > or injured themselves. > There are reports of fierce attacks by mobs in other cities like Vadodara, > Surat, Rajkot, Surendranagar, Deesa, Palanpur, Khedbrahma, Bharuch, Nadiad, > Viramgam, Mandal, Idar, Dholka, Kalol, Bhiloda, Visnagar and many other > smaller towns of Gujarat. So widespread was the violence that police in > smaller towns didn't have the required force or the fire brigade to control > the damage and enforce curfew strictly. > An official of Ahmedabad, who was worried at the flare-up in Viramgam and > Mandal areas, said: "We can't do anything. There is no police force out > there." VHP activists seemed quite emboldened by the backing that they got > from the state BJP and did not hesitate to even burn the offices of the Waqf > Board and Minority Finance Corporation located in the Old Secretariat in > Gandhinagar. Despite the attack on such a high-security area, there was no > attempt by the police to contain the damage. > Gujarat chief Minister Narendra Modi said that "Fifty million people of > Gujarat have been stunned and shocked due to the barbaric act committed by > the terrorists in Godhra and obviously peace-loving people have been > hurt...By and large people have observed restraint as the authorities have > been forced to impose curfew only in 27 towns out of 200 towns of the > state"! > One of the worst incidents of violence took place in Ahmadabad's Gulbarg > Society in Chamanpura on Thursday when close to 50 persons were burnt alive. > The victims included a former member of Parliament, Mr Ahsan Jafery who kept > phoning the police and the administration for six long hours seeking help > against a mob which had encircled his compound but no help arrived. The > death toll, said senior police officials, could go higher. > Jafery was pulled out of his house in Gulbarg Society and set on fire. Five > family members of Jafrey, who were staying in the same locality, are also > believed to have been lynched. > In another heart-rending incident a mob of 200 criminals caught hold of six > Muslims on the highway near Dehrol railway station in Gujarat. They doused > them in kerosene and burnt them alive. Of the victims, four were women. > Both houses of Parliament were adjourned today without transacting any > business, following uproarious scenes over Gujarat killings, with the > Opposition accusing the Government of failing to control the communal flare > up. Even before Lok Sabha [lower house] was called to order, opposition > members shouted anti-government slogans and demanded resignation of the > Government. > In Delhi this morning Opposition leaders led by Sonia Gandhi marched from > Parliament to the Presidential Palace where they met President Narayanan to > lodge their protest against the killings in Gujarat and sought the dismissal > of the Gujarat government. The delegation asked the President to deploy the > army in Gujarat. > The VHP called for a nationwide strike today which was partially successful > in some states like Maharashtra and Rajasthan. Stray cases of violence have > been reported from some other places as well but there is no report of any > fatality. 'Religious places' (read: mosques) have been targeted by the > criminals including five in the northern states of Haryana and Punjab. These > religious places have been partially demolished and one was set on fire by a > mob in Kaithal in Haryana. Another religious structure was partially damaged > in Kapurthala in Punjab. > In the southern city of Hyderabad three persons are reported to have been > injured in police firing as a frenzied mob ransacked the Bhavaninagar police > station in the Old City of Hyderabad on Friday in protest against the mob > violence in Gujarat. Five or six rounds were fired in the air but reportedly > three persons sustained bullet injuries in the firing. Trouble began in the > Muslim-dominated Old City of Hyderabad soon after the Friday prayers at the > Mecca Masjid. > The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has taken serious note of > "escalating communal violence" in Gujarat and reports of "inactions of > police and the highest functionaries". The NHRC today issued notice to the > state government of Gujarat and its director general of police asking them > to submit a report within three days on the incidents and the measures taken > to contain them. > An all-party meeting was held this evening in Delhi at the invitation of > Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee who told the meeting that the Government > would firmly and effectively deal with the situation arising out of > disturbances in Gujarat. A joint appeal by leaders of major political > parties has been issued to all the communities to maintain peace and > communal harmony. "We urge them (people) to isolate perpetrators of violence > and defeat their sinister designs. It is our collective responsibility to > promote brotherhood and national unity at all costs," the appeal said. > While the official inquiry will establish the extent to which the attack on > the Sabarmati Express was premeditated, "there can be no doubt about the > planned nature of the violence directed against Gujarat's Muslims on > Thursday. Property worth tens of millions was burned down by well-organised > gangs, which went about their business in the knowledge that the police > would do nothing," he added. > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > ( Melanggan ?
