The leaders of India’s Gujarat state should be tried, just like the butcher Saddam and his henchman are today.
DNA tests to be conducted on remains in mass graves in India’s Gujarat
Federal investigators are to visit a mass grave in India’s Gujarat state to determine whether bodies uncovered this week are those of people killed in 2002 religious riots, a report said on Wednesday. Officers from the Central Bureau of Investigation are expected to conduct DNA analysis tests on the skeletons exhumed on Tuesday in Lunavada village, the Press Trust of India news agency (PTI) said. The investigative unit is handling cases related to the riots, in which almost 2,000 people – mainly Muslims – were killed. Several people are still listed as missing, believed by their families to have been killed by Hindu mobs or by police and secretly buried. The discovery of the grave was carried on front pages of Indian newspapers Wednesday, reviving bitter memories of the religious violence that swept Gujarat in 2002. Villagers who helped to unearth the mass grave in the western state believe the skeletons are those of their relatives who were killed during the bloodletting. “Eight human skulls were unearthed. The villagers believe that these are the mortal remains of the 26 people who had been killed in a mob attack here in 2002,” said social worker Sohail Topiwala, part of the team that discovered the site. He said he expected his team would find more bodies.
31 bodies found in Iraq mass grave
Iraqi officials said yesterday they found the skeletal remains of 31 people in what they described as a mass grave in the holy city of Karbala. A senior official at the laboratory to which the bodies were taken said the people appeared to have died during the suppression of a Shi’ite uprising against Saddam Hussein after the 1991 Gulf War.
In continuing violence, at least 11 Iraqis, including an army colonel, were killed in attacks around the country Tuesday as security sources boasted the capture of two commanders of an Al-Qaeda-linked militant group. Iraqi police also said that gunmen had kidnapped an Egyptian public relations officer working for a Egyptian company in Baghdad. Abdullatif Ali had married an Iraqi woman and has two children, they said.
Officials in Karbala said there had been confusion over the scale of the find at a building site for a sewage project in the city centre, with police initially saying there were 150 bodies. A reporter at the scene saw one sack filled with what appeared to be human bones. With Saddam on trial for crimes against humanity, the Shi’ite-led government is keen to remind Iraqis of their suffering under his Sunni-dominated administration. More than 300 possible mass graves have been reported since Saddam’s fall in April 2003, many in southern Shi’ite areas of the country and in Kurdish areas of the north.
^ If only Modi and his Hindutva-seeking cronies would have listened to Gupta. Gupta Maharaj wants to stop these barbaric acts against Muslims because it gives Pakistan a chance to make Bharat look bad. Guess what, Bharati Muslims should be thankful to Pakistan, because if Pakistan was not there then Bharatis would not have worried about anyone making them look bad. hehe
Well the mass graves in Iraq are due to the green light and support Saddam insane recived from US of da A which now the yanks claim they never ever gave any support or weapons to saddam.
As for mass graves in india sad state of affairs well all you can say is what goes around comes around those familes of the dead will want their revenge one way or another.
Here is more on the mass grave found in the graveyard. If they wanted to hide the bodies they would not have buried it in a public graveyard. It is just another ploy by Teesta Shetalvad and her husband Javed to remain in the limelight and get funds for their NGO. The timing was also perfect, just when the BJP annual meeting got started.
They claimed to have information that the bodies of their relatives who had been declared missing after the massacre, had been buried there.
The district police, however, countered that all bodies had been accounted for. Panchmahals SP J K Bhatt said police records show that all 20 bodies were identified, their post-mortem was performed, and buried there according to Muslim rituals on March 3, 2002. But the police failed to inform the relatives— a miss that has triggered off the desperate search now.
All Bhatt could say was that the burial was performed according to Muslim rituals only after the relatives could not be approached under the circumstances at the time.
‘‘All bodies buried have been accounted for. We have records of the same. Of the 21 bodies from Pandaravada, for which postmortems were conducted, one was returned to a claimant and the rest were buried here with due procedure,’’ Bhatt said. Villagers argue that if the bodies were buried following proper procedure, they would not have been done this way. ‘‘If rituals are followed, you don’t pile up 20 bodies in a pit. Where are the graves?’’ asked Gulam, one of the villagers at the site. But they failed to say what made them dig up the burial site three years later.
namste gupta maharaj. do you wear white dhooti or pink dhooti? but, that's off-topic. maharaj, we know if killing muslims wasn't giving pakistanis a chance, you would've killed all muslims, sikhs and people of north eastern states. maharaj, you're democracy where war criminals are elected by the secular people. maharaj, pakistan is not a democracy. pakistanis can't elect war criminals.
^In pakistan where do u have a legislature.. a military junta is ruling. Good for that country. Whenever in ur checkered history there was democracy, ur leaders never took bribes, thats what u say.
War criminals, what happened to all those war criminals that u had when u massacared the banglas.:)
we 'massacred' 'banglas', they are an independent nation now. you've been massacring kashmiris, punjabis, gujratis, people in the north east. when are you going to pay for your crimes, you rotten minds? when are you going to give them independence? and honey, pakistanis give a $hit about what you think of their system of gov't. you need to be concerned about your sewer democracy in which war criminals like mody are elected by the fanatic people. a democracy in which criminals like advani are made leaders cuz they led hindu fanatics to demolish the mosques and kill innocent muslims. this is your sewer system of gov't. awww well, you're democracy. but as i said pakistanis don't give a $hit about what you think of our gov't. we're talking about mass graves/massacres in india. now tell us more how the investigation is proceeding, or get your dhooti a$$ to somewhere where there a lot of dhooti a$$es like you.
Even the whispers of genocide, after remains of several bodies suspected to be Gujarat riot victims found near Panchmahal in Gujarat, could not stop BJP’s outgoing president L K Advani from praising Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi. Heaping praise on Modi, Advani declared that he epitomised transparent, honest and effective, work management. All the while, Smriti Irani, listened intently. In 2004, Irani had asked for Modi’s resignation, but had to back down in the face of an angry party leadership. Yesterday, after Advani’s speech, Irani ran after him, only to introduce her husband and seek his blessings. Advani’s praise of Modi did not surprise anyone. After all, Advani’s Lok Sabha constituency Gandhinagar falls in Gujarat and he is dependent on Modi more than ever. Also, Modi’s stars are in the ascendant, yet again, after the party registered brilliant results in the recently concluded local zilla parishad elections. Little wonder then, that Modi stole the show as the chief ministers of BJP-ruled states addressed the convention. After the president-designate Rajnath Singh, Modi is one leader who has been the centre of attraction for the party workers.
with your posts here close to 800, i can only wish you gave a $hit about me or my compatriots and left us in peace. now our two-way conversation risks derailing the topic. Silly Billy has posted something on topic that i'd like to read.
Modi is still an amatuer at this. It will take a long time for him to eliminate minorities like Pakistan has done. All I can say is the dhoti ass is not an efficient killing machine like the lunghi ass.
There May be More Mass Graves in Gujarat - British Muslims
London based advocacy group, Council of Indian Muslims — UK (CIM) has deplored the filing of cases against Muslims, who discovered mass grave in Gujarat, as outrageous and travesty with justice. “This is what the minorities, specially Muslims, can expect under the fascist Chief Minister like Narendra Modi.” CIM’s chairman Mr Munaf Zeena said in a statement issued today. “Punishing the victims for discovering the proof of the crimes of the fascist regime and its supporters and accusing them of destroying evidence is unprecedented in legal history. The Central Government must immediately intervene and cases against the innocent people must be immediately withdrawn while an inquiry must be conducted by the CBI.” Zeena demanded. “The way Gujarat Government has reacted to the discovery of mass grave in Pandharwada and Lunavada creates doubts that there are other mass graves that the perpetrators of crimes against humanity are scared of being uncovered.” “Let Modi and his fascist colleagues know that the end of any tyrant is humiliation; and no matter what dirty tricks they play sooner or later Modi & Co will have to face humiliation and wrath of the masses.” Zeena said.
