Nation: Deva Gowda for setting up Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) to bring justice to minorities

The commission should hear grievances of minorities who are victims of atrocities since 1992. They should get compensation and the guilty should be punished. "That is the only way to bring them into the mainstream ,'' he said.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was a judicial body formed in South
Africa after it successfully fought apartheid. Any victim of racist atrocity could approach the RTC to seek justice or compensation . Similarly, those accused of committing atrocities could request amnesty. Gowda did not comment on this aspect of the RTC, though.  and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was a judicial body formed in SouthAfrica after it successfully fought apartheid.
