Gulberg verdict 'stain' on PM: Sachar

Former Delhi High Court Chief Justice Rajinder Sachar today described a Gujarat court verdict in Gulberg Housing Society case as a "stain" on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, considering that he was the Chief Minister in Gujarat when the killings took place.
In a statement, the former President of Peoples Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL) also deplored "communal approach" by "Hindu Chauvinists" who were resisting shifting of displaced Muslim families to a locality following demolition of their homes.
According to a report in a national daily, residents of Kapurai -a neighbourhood in Vadodara where about 300 displaced families, mostly Muslims, are supposed to be relocated following the demolition of their homes in Suleiman Chawl -have written to the Vadodara Municipal Corporation protesting against the move.

The letter states that allowing Muslims to move into the locality will "hamper the peace-loving nature here" as their "daily activity involves assaulting and abusing", the report said.
