| Narendra Modi's government in Gujarat has been issued a contempt notice for failing to compensate 56 people whose shops were destroyed in the state's communal riots of 2002.
The Gujarat High Court had ordered the compensation last year; because the government has still not handed over the money to those affected, the court has taken action today.
Last week, the High Court ordered the government to fund the repair of nearly 600 religious buildings that were targeted during the riots, the worst in independent India. Mr Modi's officers had fought a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) that asked the state to underwrite the renovation. | |
