modinama.pdf -----read Excerpts from MODINAMA Not pro-Modi but not anti-Modi Does anyone remember who the chief minister of Maharashtra was during Mumbai riots which were no less deadly than the Gujarat riots of 2002? Does anyone recall the name of the chief minister of UP during Malliana and Meerut riots or Bihar CM when the Bhagalpur or Jamshedpur riots under Congress regimes took place? Do we hear the names of earlier chief ministers of Gujarat under whose charge hundreds of riots took place in post-Independence India? Some of these riots were far more deadly than the 2002 outburst. The state used to explode into violence every second month? Does anyone remember who was in-charge of Delhi’s security when the 1984 massacre of Sikhs took place in the capital of India How come Narendra Modi has been singled out as Devil Incarnate as if he personally carried out all the killings during the riots of 2002?” Why just distant riots, does anyone remember the fate of hundreds of thousands of Bodos and Muslims who were uprooted from their villages in July 2012 because their homes were torched and destroyed? As of 8 August 2012, over 400,000 people had taken shelter in 270 relief camps, after being displaced from almost 400 villages. The Assam chief minister delayed deployment of the Army by 4 days even though large number of Army units are stationed right there Assam. Thousands are still living under sub human conditions in refugee camps. Why are those riots already forgotten? The worst riot in post partition India happened in 1969 in Ahmedabad; more than 5000 Muslims were killed in that massacre. But because there was no 24x7 media, no one outside got to know because those earlier riots were not documented. At that time, Gujarat was under the Congress Party’s Hitendrabhai Desai’s regime while Indira Gandhi was in power at the Centre. In 1969, 5000 Muslims were massacred in Ahmedabad alone. Has anyone documented where these 5000 families have gone? “Then there was another major riot in 1985 preceded by several smaller ones. In 1985 Madhavji Solanki of Congress Party was in power in Gujarat and Rajiv Gandhi at the Centre.During the 1987 riots also Amar Singh Chaudhury of the Congress party was the CM. This was followed by the 1990 riot. At that time again Congress Party’s Chimanbhai Patel was the Chief Minister. Rais Khan Pathan, who was the main ground level person Teesta Setalvad used till 2007 to collect all the information about the riots and mobilize victims told in a video recorded interview that he had given numerous photographs to Teesta Setalvad of rioting mobs during that period. He says, they clearly showed faces of known party workers and leaders of the Congress Party along with VHP/ Bajrang Dal and BJP cadres. He also alleges that Teesta never mentions or show pictures of Muslim mobs attacking Hindu homes and business establishments. He claims that when he began pointing out to Teesta and Co that they were presenting one sided picture of the riots, that they studiously avoided talking of attacks on Hindus, the losses they suffered, the thousands that were rendered homeless and sought shelter in relief camps, she let lose a propaganda campaign that he had been bought over by the VHP and finally threw him out of the organization without as much as giving him notice or chance to explain himself. He alleges that Teesta has never released those pictures which implicate Congressmen. Those particular photographs have simply disappeared. She has refused to give him copies of pictures he sent her from ground zero.
