Killing Of Muslims In Gujarat

EDM number 1502 in 2006-07, proposed by Andrew George on 17/05/2007.

That this House observes with sadness the recent fifth anniversary of the horrific murders of the Dawood and Aswat family members and extends its deepest sympathies to the family and friends of the victims; deplores the decision of the Gujarat authorities not to investigate these horrific crimes properly and uphold justice by convicting those responsible; notes that during a Home Affairs Select Committee visit to Delhi, the then Foreign Secretary, Shyam Saran, said that he would `leave no stone unturned' to get justice for the Dawood family; applauds the recent decision of the United States not to grant a visa to the Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi for severe violations of religious freedoms; further notes that the Chief Minister of Gujarat is the subject of a civil prosecution for genocide and crimes against humanity; calls for the Indian government to accept the British Government's offer of UK police and forensic assistance; acknowledges the efforts of the right hon. Member for Pontypridd in assisting the family via meetings with the family as well as the Indian Foreign Minister, Mr Menon, earlier this month and his forthcoming meeting with the Indian government; further calls upon India as the world's largest democracy and a secular country to be true to the values this entails and deliver justice for the grieving families of the innocent victims; condemns racism in all its guises; and calls for reconciliation between the people of all faiths in memory of Sakil, Saeed, Mohammed, the 3,000 Muslims killed and the thousands of women raped during the Gujarat massacre.

This motion has been signed by a total of 46 MPs.
