Dear Shantanu.

My apologies for this OT post.Didn’t know where else it could go so posted it here.

This is a link to a comprehensive site on Gujarat riots that i wished to share.

Hope it can change public perception on Narendra Modi.

Thank you

Explain that Salil.

I wish you could make your question more clear. I don’t know how the Kashmir genocide came in this discussion on Godhra.

Yeah okay there.

Like they needed a Gujarat or Babri when the Kashmiri Muslims decided to genocide the Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley in 1989.

Explain that Salil.

What made them do that?

Don’t give crappy excuses for Jihadi fanaticism.

What is happening to the eye-witnesses? One telling examples:

The same train took her to Ahmedabad where she now lives with her younger sister. She has already got Rs.50,000 as relief and expects more. She told the team that she had heard certain Muslims saying that a lot of trouble was caused to them because of her narration of the Godhra tragedy and that she would be eliminated. A bomb was thrown into the room in which she was sleeping a day before the team met her. Fortunately, it did not explode. The matter was reported to the police who are investigating the case.

What happened to the fire department?

The Driver along with the firemen rushed towards the spot but on the way a mob led by Haji Balal, a Congress member of the Godhra Nagarpalika, stopped the vehicle and did not allow it to proceed any further. A tall well built young man stood in front of the vehicle. The mob started pelting stones at the vehicle. A fireman sitting in the front seat had to take shelter behind the driver. The headlights and the windowpanes of the vehicle got damaged. Fearing for his own and his crew’s life, the driver drove the vehicle through the mob, as it was not possible to move backwards. The mob gave in but by that time precious 15-20 minutes had been lost.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is secularism for you.

Then there was the Banerjee Report, the brainchild of a desperate-for-electoral-victory Lalu Prasad Yadav was stitched together in a hurry and provided the perfect arsenal to the proponents of lopsided justice. They claimed they had “official proof” that the fire was accidental. This report was cited widely and repeated a la Goebbels even after the courts struck down the very formation of the Banerjee Committee as unconstitutional to begin with. Yet, it continues to be peddled as “authentic”.
…
It is nobody’s claim that the perpetrators of violence in Gujarat must go unpunished but what has been done by a certain section of do-gooders in the name of securing justice for the victims of the post-Godhra violence requires critical and thorough scrutiny.
…The special court’s judgement on February 22 thus deserves credit for convicting the guilty, a rare occurrence in cases of mob violence. The fact that it upheld the Godhra train carnage as a premeditated conspiracy also confirms what Mr Narendra Modi and K Jana Krishnamurthy — the then BJP president — had stated back in 2002 on the basis of intelligence reports.
