Gujarat's longest lasting riots
by on Oct 06, 2007 02:30 AM

When father solanki was CM. Gujarat's longest lasting riots were engineered to crush anti-reservation movement by importing D Gang members from mumbai and using local gangsters like Abdul Latif. This riots permanantly changed demographic makeup of old ahmedabad neighbourhood where mostly non-khamvadi hindus were forced to abandon their anchestral property. One family refused to leave. They were burned down along with their home. The event is called dabgaarvaad massacre. Father CM instantly crushed freedom of speech by passing gag order against publication of this news. One newspaper Gujarat Samachar printed the news. Within few days Gujarat Samachar Printing Press was burned down. Most of the gangsters who committed this crime were never tried in court. Few others like accused in dabgaarvaad massacre were tried in court and were set free for lack of evidence. Govt. choose NOT TO APPEAL in higher court.
