No one is leaving the Congress of the hook, so no need to hide behind the Congress. Just because Congress was wrong in '84, that is enough to justify the BJP to do the same in 2002?
Please don't put words in my mouth, I never condoned any violence.
Just ponder on this, if the Gujarat govt. had nothing to fear and were honest in all investigations, why did it take until the SC intervention in 2007 to BEGIN the riot cases PROPERLY.
Saying that the riots were bad but "not as bad" as Teesta is saying is just reprehensible. If she did fabricate allegations it was stupid of her. Because with the real cases, there was just no need.
I don't claim that the hands of all members of the Gujarat government are entirely clean.
As regards Teesta, she alone can say why she has been fabricating stories. She may have felt the need because the real stories were not melodramatic enough.
I mentioned the apology to show that atleast the Congress considers the violence wrong. Apology without justice is ofcourse meaningless. But do we have any proof that the Modi adminstration regrets the mindless violence in part fueled by members of his administration like Kodani? Have they morally owned up to their responsibility to protect their Gujaratis irrespective of religion and pledged to prevent any such future events? Has Modi devised a plan were in the future if Ex-MPs call him informing about the security situation, he will give a prompt response?
Modi has gone beyond the Congress by stating that all those responsible for violence should be punished. On the other hand, the Congress makes meaningless apologies while continuing to look for ways to get the murderous Congressmen off the hook.
That is what Roopa Mody is saying about what Jaffrey told her about what Modi had allegedly told him. Who knows what Modi actually said?
There are many contemporary news reports that indicate that Modi was trying hard to curb the violence. Read the links that I posted.
I am not claiming that everybody in his cabinet had clean hands. Some of the people implicated in the violence were kicked out by the BJP. They joined the Congress and are now walking free as Congressmen.
Secularists need to deeply introspect - how is it that accomplished liars and fabricators like the abhorrent Teesta are being given national and international awards, while the some of the people who committed the violence are walking around as Congressmen?
And it's not just Teesta - there is a whole industry of people who earn their bread by propagating falsehoods about India - read the link about the so-called "sting" conducted by Tehelka on Babu Bajrangi.
These phenomena have occurred many times in recent history. There is very strong evidence showing that Gandhi was assassinated by colonial interests with the complicity of elements of the Congress, using Godse as a useful idiot. The real culprits went free, while RSS was banned in the aftermath. See
Assassination of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia . Also see Rajinder Puri's articles
Mahatma Gandhi's Assassination and
An Interpretation: Why Gandhi's Silence on Partition? for essential background.
Interestingly, it is the same pattern that is to be seen in the violence that followed the brutal assassination of Swami Laxmananda Saraswati in Kandhamal by Christian factions of the Maoist Party. There was a whole industry of people that was hell-bent on implicating the RSS - but the interim report by the investigating commission makes it clear that the violence was essentially a local phenomenon.
