Following the recent outbreak of
violence in the Indian state of Gujararat, leading to the loss of more
than 900 lives, MEPs adopted a resolution strongly condemning all sectarian
violence in India which followed the burning to death of 58 Hindus on a
train earlier in the year. There is a call on the Indian government and
the State government of Gujararat to continue investigations into the killings
with a view to bringing those responsible to justice. The Commission and
Council are requested to support the Indian government with relief programmes
to the area.
