Prime Minister Narendra Modi should act on the Srikrishna Commission report on the 1993 Mumbai riots, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi said on Friday.

He accused the PM of indulging in "dog whistle politics" by raising controversial topics in poll speeches.

The Srikrishna Commission was set up by the then Maharashtra government to probe widespread rioting and arson in Mumbai between December 1992, following the Babri Masjid demolition, and January 1993.

One of the terms of reference of the Commission was to see if the riots, and the serial blasts of March 12, 1993, were linked.

Addressing a rally here, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief said, "Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that previous governments did not do justice to victims of the 1993 Mumbai blasts."
