Scores of victims of Muzaffarnagar riots staged protest at Jantar Mnatar on Monday demanding justice to the riot-affected people. The victims, during their protest, held State Government and district administrations responsible for violence and demanded action against the accused of the riots who are still roaming freely in the region.
The protestors also demanded adequate compensation, clothes, utensils and other articles of those who are still living in relief camps. Nearly 12,000 people are still residing in 17 make-shift shelters across Muzaffarnagar and Shamli districts.
On Monday, around 12 pm, hundreds of refugees, living in various relief camps, staged protest in national Capital under the banner of Aligarh Muslim University lawyers Forum. They blamed that the victims have been living in shelters without any help from government and local authorities since three months. Children, old and women have been dying daily due to due to severe cold as there is no arrangement of winter clothes and medical aid in the camps. In last one month, around 70 children and 30 others have lost their lives while residing in these camps.
Brinda Grover said that they have been fighting to provide justice to the riot victims and will approach Supreme Court also.
