Gujarat seeks time to file report on riots

The Gujarat government has sought further time from the National Human Rights Commission to file its "comprehensive" report on the communal riots in the state, as the time given by the commission for filing of the same ended on Wednesday.

"We have received the state government's plea seeking 2-3 days time to file their report to the commission," NHRC sources said.

The commission had on May 1 given two weeks' time to the Centre and the state government to file their responses to its preliminary comments and recommendations.

The Centre had filed its report the same day.

The commission had observed that the reply of the state government earlier did not respond to the contents of the report of the commission and had sought a more "comprehensive" response.

"A specific reply was sought to this report to enable further consideration of the matter in view of the allegations made, which are mentioned in that report," it said. PTI
