In India, the coalition led by Hindu nationalists states that it supports the opposition's proposal, which expresses concern over the deadly clashes between Hindus and Muslims in the state of Gujarat. This is a concession made by the ruling coalition today, but it is generally seen as a move to control a new round of heated debates regarding the unrest in Gujarat in Parliament. In these clashes, which began in February, more than 900 people, mostly Muslims, have been killed. Early on Wednesday, the ruling coalition, led by the BJP, was able to prevent the passage of a proposal to reprimand the governor of Gujarat for failing to control the unrest and protect Muslims. Analysts say the government in the Senate could not gather enough votes to prevent the passage of a similar proposal.
