Issues & Concerns
HIGHLIGHTS:
•Incidents (Major and Minor) of Mass Targeted Violence that have seen an increase over the past two and a half decades, approximately—Christians are also a target
•Regular and Systematic Attacks from the State in Terms of Round-Ups, Arrests, Intimidation by the Police despite the accused in mass crimes being from majoritarian groups;
•The failure to prosecute the guilty combined by a cynical climate of impunity enjoyed by the political representative, the administrator and the policeman who is in positions of authority and power when these attacks take place
•All these Attacks are Violative of Article 14, 21, 25 of the Constitution of India
••Wings of the state have displayed distinct partisanship, anti-minority bias as is clear from the recent firings at Dhule, Maharashtra 2013 and Gujarat 2002 (14 districts)
•Such targeted violence has made a large section of our population vulnerable and victimized
