Fr. Cedric Prakash SJ, Director of Prashant, a leading NGO, said that the publishers and the editorial board of TIME Magazine have clearly demonstrated how insensitive and ill-informed they are to the ground realities of Gujarat and the fact, that thousands of victim-survivorsof the Gujarat Carnage 2002 are still desperately waiting for justice. TIME also proves that truth can very conveniently be surpressed in order to cater to the political agenda of a few.On the flip-side, it's not the first time, that TIME Magazine has considered it 'appropriate' to highlight thedeeds of fascists and dictators of the world.

Renowed social activist Dr. J. S. Bandukwala, Baroda, said, "The last ten years have been difficult for the Muslims of Gujarat. Muslims have been almost completely cut off from the political- administrative machinery in Gujarat. Further the absence of justice has been so blatant that even moderate people like me have lost faith in the justice system within Gujarat. Narendra Modi has done everything possible to see that the VHP / BD killers are not touched.The only case in which we found justice in Gujarat has been Sardarpura, where about 30 Patels have been sentenced to life for the killing of about 33 Muslims. Note that on the Sabarmati train case 11 Muslims were sentenced to death, while over 20 are in for life."
