Gujarat goverment has sought further time from National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) to file its comprehensive report on the communal riots in the state as the time given by the commission for filing of the same ended on Wednesday. “We have received the state governments' plea seeking 2-3 days time to file their report to the commission,” The NHRC sources told a news agency.
The commission on May 1 had given two weeks time to both the Centre and the state government to file their responses to its preliminary comments and recommendations.
While the Centre had filed its report the same day, the state government is yet to submit its detailed response. The commission had observed that the reply of the state government earlier does not respond to the contents of the confidential report of the commission and had sought more comprehensive response.
A specific reply was sought to this (confidential) report to enable further consideration of the matter in view of the allegations made which are mentioned in that report, the order had said.
