“Gujarat riots were unfortunate. But when riots take place in other states, why aren’t the governments and chief ministers blamed for that?” so said the BJP president Nitin Gadkari. Sounds strange! Nobody should know better than him that the Gujarat riots have been acknowledged as extraordinary by the whole world. The anti-Muslim violence 2002 and Delhi’s 1984 anti-Sikh violence will always be remembered together. Gujarat Chief Minister has avoided many questions pertaining to the events of February/March 2002. The BJP should admit that in the planned massacre committed in Gujarat in 2002 the role of the Chief Minister was nothing like Raj Dharma.
