Ahmedabad, Oct 16: A five-member Congress delegation is leaving for United States to project the ‘positive image’ of Gujarat after the Godhra riots.
Talking to newsmen here today, GPCC president Shankersinh Vaghela said the situation in Gujarat was not as projected by BJP and VHP in the country and in the world.
Vaghela said Hindus have not killed any Muslim in the state, rather they have protected them from the forces responsible for the riots.
The five member delegation besides Vaghela would include Narihari Amin, one of the vice presidents of Gujarat Congress unit, Naresh Rawal, AICC secretary from Gujarat and senior Congress leaders Dr Manmohan Singh and Shivraj Patil.
