Document accuses Centre of delayed response and alleges the state government had failed in 'civic mediation and statesmanship'

New Delhi: A report by a panel of retired judges and a former Union home secretary has accused the central and Delhi governments of “glaring failures of constitutional duties” during and after the February 2020 communal riots in the capital.

It has accused the Centre of delayed response and the state government of failing in “civic mediation and statesmanship” and in providing adequate relief later, and cited reports of police complicity in the violence that killed 53 people, mostly Muslims.

The report  has also highlighted the incendiary speeches by BJP leaders, and the police’s failure to act against them.

A note of dissent from one of the panel members, who withdrew before completion of the report, disagreed with the “very generalised inference” of “police complicity”. But the member did not rule out “some cases where police complicity with Hindu mobs did contribute to violence”.

The report has, like several earlier probe reports on the Delhi riots, demanded a commission of inquiry “to establish the factors that led to the violence and issues of accountability and reparations in its aftermath”.

The panel, called Citizens Committee, was led by the former Supreme Court judge, Justice Madan B. Lokur. It included a former chief justice of the high courts in Madras and Delhi, Justice A.P. Shah; a former Delhi High Court judge, Justice R.S. Sodhi; a former Patna High Court judge, Justice Anjana Prakash; and retired home secretary G.K. Pillai.
