This incident comes after Godhra police called 52 local clerics on Sunday and asked them to disclose who funded the local madrasas and what kind of training went on there_besides being asked to “disclose” details of the funds they received from Pakistan.
Leaders of several prominent local Muslim religious organizations who took part in the “community watch meeting”’ presided over by Godhra Town Inspector MS Patel are now fuming over the humiliation. Top police brass in Bharuch has sought to disown the event. Godhra Superintendent of Police JR Mothalia says he had “no clue about any such meeting.”
