WEB DESK
Former Supreme Court Judges Justice Kurian Joseph, Justice Vikramjith Sen and Justice AK Patnaik visited the riot-affected areas of Northeast Delhi on Friday to get first-hand idea of the situation there.
Talking to media Justice Kurian Joseph said that the situation in the area very appalling. “We went there to ascertain the prevailing situation there, and not to check who is culpable. We have seen people who lost their homes, those who lost their valuables, their vehicles etc.. The situation is relief camps is worse. People there are afraid to return to homes.”, he said.
He requested the Legal Service Authorities to start a help desk by organizing lawyers, whose presence at those relief camps will give assurance to the riot victims. Justice Joseph also urged V-Cs of the Law Universities in Delhi to send the students to these places to do volunteer service where they could learn more about the Constitution values, the duties of the State etc. They need to understand that India is not about a religion, caste, race or language, but Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (the world is one family), he said.
