Gujarat govt fails to file report to NHRC

The Gujarat government has failed to file a comprehensive report on communal riots in the state to the National Human Rights Commission even after the expiry of two-three days extension sought by it.

The NHRC had given time till May 15 to Gujarat government to file its response to the Commission's 'confidential' observations on the situation leading to riots in the state.

However, the state government sought 2-3 days extra time to file the same, NHRC sources said.

"A specific reply was sought to this (confidential) report to enable further consideration of the matter in view of the allegations made which are mentioned in that report," the NHRC had said.

The state government has failed to even abide by the timeframe it had asked for, the sources said.
