INDIAN MUSLIM
COUNCIL - USA
IMC-USA Condemns The Massacre Of Worshippers In Gujarat
Washington D.C., 24 September, 2002: Indian Muslim Council - USA
condemns in the strongest terms the killing of innocent worshippers in
Gujarat, India. Commenting on the tragic event, IMC-USA Vice President,
Mr. Rasheed Ahmed said, "Such senseless acts of violence can never be
justified by any cause. We extend our sincerest condolences to the
families of the thirty men, women and children who were killed and we
stand in firm opposition against any further terrorist activity against
innocents in India."
According to news reports, several unidentified gunmen stormed into the
Akshardham Temple in Gandhinagar, Gujarat and went on a killing spree that
resulted in the deaths of 30 worshippers and several injuries.
In the state of Gujrat where thousands of Muslims were brutally massacred
in sectarian violence, the attack on Akshardham Temple in Gandhinagar
aggravates an already tense atmosphere in the state. IMC-USA urges the
government of India to quickly apprehend the culprits and make sure that
fascist and communal forces in the state do not use this unfortunate
incident as a pretext for violence against the Muslim population.
IMC-USA, a United States based organization, represents the interests of
Muslims of Indian origin in preserving and promoting the pluralistic and
democratic essence of the Indian society.
