MODI HAS NOT APOLOGIZED FOR THE 2002 RIOTS Why does one apologize? what is the motive behind it? An apology is only effective when you never repeat the mistakes of your past. There has not been a single riot (at-least nothing major) in Gujarat since 2002. If we put this in contrast with the Samajwadi Party who claims to help Muslims, there have been over 100 rioting incidents in a year in UP! Modi has let his actions speak for themselves and the Muslims of Gujarat are his witnesses. Critics cite his Gaurav Yatra speeches (he delivered after the 2002 riots) as a sign of hate mongering. Having gone through his speeches extensively, I realized that it was mostly aimed at leveraging the charged political atmosphere at the time. Every politician including Gandhiji has utilized the element of rhetoric to put his message across. If Modi had really given hate speeches, he would have been penalized under the law. I don’t recall the opposition at the time dragging Modi to courts…I don’t blame them because there wasn’t any case.
