Don't cross 'mandate': RSS to NHRC

July 31, 2003 21:02 IST

Taking strong exception to National Human Rights Commission's petition to the Supreme Court for a fresh trial outside Gujarat in the Best Bakery case, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh on Thursday charged it with 'indifference' to the killings in Kashmir, Kerala and West Bengal, and asked the body 'not to cross its mandate'.

Pointing to the incidents of "terrible violence" in Marad (Kerala) and continued violence and killing of innocent people in Kashmir, RSS spokesman Ram Madhav said, "What is happening in West Bengal and northeast is much more serious."

"However, the total indifference of NHRC to all these incidents and its over-enthusiasm in setting a wrong precedent in the case of Gujarat incidents is quite conspicuous," the spokesman added.
