"In the opinion of a senior lawyer and human rights activist
Mukul Sinha: “Seven years ago, if Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and his
police had not instigated the ordinary people of Gujarat by describing the
Godhra incident as a pre-planned terrorist attack of one community against the
other, the genocide that followed from February 28, 2002 would have never
happened.”
What an outrageous
lie! It doesn’t need any statement from a CM to know what happened in Godhra.
Modi did not describe it as a ‘pre-meditated attack “of one community against
another”’ but simply as a ‘pre-meditated act terrorist attack’ which it was
only in partial. Pre-meditated it was, but it wasn’t really an act of
terrorism- but an act of barbarism. Terrorism is generally momentary, one
bullet hits and a person dies, but here the 59 karsewaks were not shot to
death. They were roasted to death, roasted to coal by a mob of fanatics.
From the report of The Hindu the next day, it seems Modi
only hinted at the possibility of the attack being a ``planned'' one, pointing
out that the train was ``attacked'' at the Godhra railway platform, where it
halts for only about three minutes.
In any case, no description from the CM had any issue. Mukul
Sinha hides the following facts.
1-

The then Prime Minister also urged Hindus not to
retaliate http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1774&dat=20020228&id=Z4UeAAAAIBAJ&sjid=w38EAAAAIBAJ&pg=6789,2011702

RSS and
VHP also appealed to Hindus to not retaliate.
This was the statement given by RSS on 27
Feb- carried in weekly Organiser dated 10 March 2002 in full (Organiser dated 10 March 2002 covered events till 27 Feb in full). A large part of
it was reported by The Telegraph of 28 Feb while The Hindu reported just one
line on 28 Feb.
The VHPs appeals were reported by The Times of India.
Gujarat VHP leaders urged ‘Every Hindu to stay indoors the next day i.e. 28
Feb’ while VHP Senior Vice-President Acharya Giriraj Kishore said ‘Hindus
should maintain calm and keep patience’.
LiesofGujarat, forcibly blaming Modi for saying: "It seems to be a planned act of terrorism" and putting imaginary words like "by one community against another community" which Modi never used!Dangerous lies out again.
