Indian Muslims in the UK are planning to file cases against Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and home minister L K Advani for their failure to sack Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi in the wake of communal violence in the state. “It is not only Modi, we are now thinking of filing cases against Prime Minister Vajpayee and home minister Advani as well because by not removing Modi, the central government has become an abetting and patronising party in the continuation of his anti-Muslim pogroms,” Council of Indian Muslims (UK) said on Friday. In a statement, chairman of the council Munaf Zeena said, “We are in the process of seeking the counsel's advice. We want to show our concern that in today's world this sort of approach is totally unacceptable and people who perpetrate crime are brought to justice.”
He said that they were exploring all avenues including filing of cases in India, the Belgian court, the international court of justice in the Hague and the US.
