New Delhi, Aug 02: The CPI (M) today assailed the BJP for opposing the NHRC move to approach Supreme Court in the Best Bakery case saying it established its "culpability" in the communal carnage in Gujarat. "It is normally the job of the government to ensure that justice is delivered to the victims and action taken against the culprits who unleashed the state-sponsored genocide against minorities in Gujarat last year," CPI (M) polit bureau said in a statement.

Condemning BJP for calling the NHRC move as "anti-hindu", it accused the ruling party of getting into a confrontation with every constitutional authority and institution in the country in the pursuit of its "vicious communal agenda". "The BJP's culpability in the communal carnage in Gujarat is now established by their opposition to prevent the delivery of justice in this case," the party said. Bureau Report
