State transport bus services which were discontinued during the riots in 2002, still continue to skirt minority-dominated areas.<\/p>\n<p>    Routes of over 300 Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation (GSRTC) buses that used to pass through Juhapura, the largest Muslim ghetto in the state, have been diverted.<\/p>\n<p>    Though the routes were altered temporarily during the riots, the authorities have not yet resumed buses on these routes which the residents believe to be a conspiracy to malign the area.<\/p>\n<p>    This decision is all politically motivated. It is just a part of the larger design to wrongly portray Juhapura as a danger zone,&#8221; Ibrahim Sheikh, a member of the Gujarat Lok Heet Seva Trust said.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Sangh Parivar has used Gujarat as its experimental &#8220;orange&#8221;house very effectively. In 50 years the fabric of society has changed. In a state where Hindus and Muslims used to share the same last name &#8211; and live together in relative peace &#8211; the battle lines are drawn. And the pogroms of 2002 &#8211; has divided society even more. The election results of 2004 may go some way to rectifying the fabric of society -because it is evident that it was not just Muslim votes that went to the Congress, it was also a substantial portion of Hindu votes. Now, politicians of all hues and shades should put aside party political differences and look towards a genuine policy of reconcilliation in society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two years after the Modi Government stood by and let Gujarat burn -comes a report that all is not well in the State of Gujarat.
