From the Left to the right, the UPA Government on Tuesday faced flak on action not taken on the recommendations of the Nanavati Commission recommendations. While the government has become habitual of getting it from the Left parties, on Tuesday, its trusted ally, the RJD joined the chorus of protests against government apathy.
Putting the Congress-led alliance in the dock for failure to take action even on the "limited recommendations" of the Commission, the CPI and the CPM also criticised the Commission for not doing justice to its terms of reference and giving the government a long rope to evade stringent actions against the individuals.
The RJD, which had all along backed the Congress without being caught in the moral dilemma of what was wrong or right, also criticised the inaction on the ATR. The party has conveyed its strong views on the matter to the Congress leadership. The DMK is also reportedly unhappy with the way the government has dealt with the panel's recommendations.
<b>Meanwhile, the two key Left parties, which on Tuesday had kept quiet so it could "study" the report before formally commenting on it</b>, also accused the Commission of failing to fix responsibility for the violence in which more than 3000 Sikhs were killed.
"The government should act on the specific recommendations made by the Commission to proceed against certain people named and to probe the involvement of others whose culpability had been indicated by the Commission," the CPI(M) said in a statement. "This is the least the government can do to assure the people that justice will be done," it added.
The CPI(M) said that "after 21 years and nine Commissions and Enquiry Committees, it is a dismal state of affairs that justice cannot be rendered to the thousands who suffered in the pogrom."
The CPI Central Secretariat too termed the ATR as "thoroughly disappointing" and added that it did not in any way assure justice to the victims of the 1984 massacre.
"The Commission's report is self-contradictory in its conclusions as it does name and speak about the involvement of several Congress leaders in the events," the CPI said.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
For Godhra these leftist were jumping with spring attached everywhere even before any commision report, now for 1984 riots they want to study report. <!--emo&:thumbdown--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsdownsmileyanim.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='thumbsdownsmileyanim.gif' /><!--endemo-->
