I am going to talk about Mr. Narendra Modi the bad guy for press because of his questionable secular credentials post Godhra. Lot has been said in his defense and his against so I don’t want to go down the charted territory. I just wanted to discuss the contrast that leaves me baffle that one CM can become pariah because of a riot caused by him (If this is correct!)…but one late PM can get away (even gets Bharat Ratna) despite the comment he made after Sikh Riots organized by his own secular party. I will like to quote his comments: "Some riots took place in the country following the murder of Indiraji. We know the people were very angry and for a few days it seemed that India had been shaken. But, when a mighty tree falls, it is only natural that the earth around it does shake a little."
Pretty confusing…I don’t understand why a former Prime minister was and is Darling of Secular Media despite the fact that he goofed up lot many time for ex: Sikh Riots, Shahbano Case, Bofors Scam, Bhopal Gas Tragedy etc. Like to remind one thing that Sikh Riots happened due to death of a Late Prime minister, was perpetuated by the party of the assassinated Prime minister and her Son later tried to defend it. In his government India saw Bhopal Tragedy where thousands of people died and maimed and still counting and yet the beloved secular leader and his party gave free passage to an American Businessman whose company was responsible for the whole massacre. Now comes Mr. Narendra Modi, he has no immediate family and none of his family member died during Godhra Railway attack. He is held responsible for Godhra Riots because he told state police not to act as fanatic Hindus created havoc in state. Both are wrong but why one is Darling of Media and another cynosure of Media.
Our ruling Secular party take on Bhopal Gas Tragedy is forget past and lets work together for future and our secular media bought this argument. Yet when Mr. Narendra Modi after all his development work in Gujarat asks for redemption no one is giving him a chance. Hail Secular Media…
