Gujarat still burning
Two persons were killed and five injured early on Monday when the crude bombs they were carrying exploded near the Kalupur police station here even as stray incidents of violence were reported from other parts of the city and Vadodara. All the victims were members of the minority community. That implies the Paks haven't gotten to Gujarat to make hay, otherwise they'd have been grenades or RDX. Widespread violence was reported through the night in Kalupur as mobs went on the rampage in Dhana Suthar Ni Pol, Khiskola Pol and Panchpatti and Karalia which have mixed population. At least two persons were killed, one of them in police firing, as the violence continued till the early hours of Monday. In Vadodara, at least 22 persons were injured in overnight violence. And Modi's handling of the situation is considered "impeccable"? The bombs exploded when seven persons, alleged to be linked with the former Abdul Latif gang, were about to hurl them on Mansuri Mohalla, right next to Relief Road, where defence minister George Fernandes took out a peace march on Sunday. The police are yet to ascertain if the victims were making bombs on the terrace of the house when the explosion rocked the area. Where's the surprise when the gangsters come swarming out when you've got anarchy instead of government? This is hinduvta? Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-04-29 |
