Thread: The #Massacre at Best Bakery
On March 01, 2002, the Best Bakery area was attacked and burned down by a deranged mob of #RSS situated in Hanuman Tekri. The Best Bakery case was a symbol of the 2002 #Gujarat carnage.
Its controversial nature attracted the allegation of the State Government, implying the government’s compliance in it. During the incident, a mob targeted the Sheikh family who ran the bakery and had taken refuge inside...,
...resulting in the deaths of 14 (11 #Muslims including family members and 3 Hindu employees of the bakery). This case has come to symbolize the carnage in 2002# Gujrat riots (and the alleged State Government complicity in it) that followed the #Godhra train massacre.

@India_NHRC Let me wish NHRC on its Foundation Day today. We fondly recall long relationship @peopleswatch @HRDA_India & #AiNNI have enjoyed right from 1995 onwards. Been a journey of accompaniment - very pleasant & cordial on occasions & extremely critical on others too. (1)
We genuinely wish #NHRC on this historically very imp day. Chairpersons & Members come & go in NHRC but #HRDs stay on forever & always engage wanting only one thing to happen - that the NHRC becomes more diverse, effective, transparent, accountable and also independent. (2)
NHRC is a founding member of @AsiaPacForum & @Ganhri1 that it has also chaired on occasions. No longer time after 29 yrs & entering its 30th yr to only celebrate the day. @MaryLawlorhrds @cvoule. Time to demonstrate to global community. @hrw @UNHumanRights @DrAliceJEdwards (3)

Modi’s speech on human rights at #NHRC today exposed his problematic & incorrect understanding of human rights. Most unfortunate part was that there was only one passing mention of the constitution, but references to ‘tradition’, ‘culture’ & religion could be found throughout.
1. A constant Hindutva talking point was repeated by Modi; that human rights & duties are dependent on each other. No. Rights against state always trump duties. Duties are not enforceable, rights are.
People in power failed to discharge their duties. This resulted in a deadly second wave where people died without vaccines, oxygen & hospital beds

Calcutta High Court hearing case in relation to West Bengal post poll violence.

#calcuttahighcourt #postpollviolence #WestBengal
Adv Subir Sanyal submits even today people are not coming out to give complaints.

Sanyal says an independent agency should probe. Does not want governmental intervention.

"So according to him every investigating officer in State is tainted,". Kapil Sibal.
Bench says NHRC was asked to submit report and should confine to it.

"You (NHRC) should not tell how to go forward based in report. That is for petitioner and State to argue."
