THE RIOTS...

THE ANTI SIKH & THE GUJARAT RIOTS

It is indeed still intriguing why journalists and media have completely, conveniently and perhaps conniving too, chosen to bury the 'anti-Sikh' riots across India that killed, maimed, outraged the modesty, humiliated, looted, burnt - all of Sikhs’ exclusively, as a matter of fact, for no fault of theirs? If at all anything can be attributed to the community, it is the misguided fanatical hysteria of two Sikh guards and a group of misguided fanatical guys who imbibed it on them. Nothing noticeable has been done by successive Congress governments. The post or pre riot conspiracy & deceit was such that even the BJP that stayed in power for a few stints and other non congress parties that were in power for a short while could do nothing appreciable about it. Those who killed and ordered the killing of the Sikhs - one of the most patriotic Indian communities if not the utmost patriotic, are and were in high seats of power bestowed with the benevolence of the Cong' party. The Sikhs are perhaps the most who lost their lives serving our country. Yet they earned the wrath of the Cong’ party and nothing worthwhile was ever done about it. 


Rajiv Gandhi, the then president of the Cong' party  who was sworn in Prime Minister of India, immediately after the death of his mother Indira Gandhi nonchalantly justified  on November 19, 1984, the nation wide carnage initiated by the Cong' saying “ Some riots took place in the country following the murder of Indiraji ”even as thousands of families across the nation grieved the gruesome killing of  their loved ones by the henchmen and  hoodlums of the Cong'. “We know the people were very angry and for a few days it seemed India had been shaken. But when a mighty tree falls, it is only natural that the earth around it does shake a little” said Rajiv  of the carnage without any regret or remorse. 


I am not the least justifying the Gujarat riot or the losses suffered or the causes or whatever. But, just bringing to fore what is conveniently buried as I said earlier. After all these blatant acts, I do not understand how and why the Cong' calls  and prides itself as 'secular'? It is another thing that among Indian politicians, any one who speaks against the Hindus is secular! 

The difference in the riots that ought not to miss the concerns of ourselves – the citizens of the world’s largest democracy is that the anti-Sikh riot was orchestrated, mobilised, monitored and run by the sycophantic & fanatical goons of the Congress party against one single community. While no one knows precisely for sure how, when, where, why & what  caused the Gujarat riot, all we know is that there was a communal riot between two in which both communities lost, suffered, retaliated, restrained and ultimately refrained themselves with the intervention of the BJP government. It had become fashionable and highly self serving for the media to mislead the people; it is not that the Gujarat government or Narendra Modi who just went about shooting, killing & looting the Muslims. There indeed was a riot in which both sides lost and learnt lessons. But in the Congress initiative of engineering the anti-Sikh riots, just one community were attacked, burnt, looted, outraged, humiliated and nearly annihilated by just one political party – the  Congress; even justified  and belittled by some of their leaders including their late illustrious PMs.  Thank goodness, the Tamil Nadu Congress committee members were sober enough; else they would have done the same to the Tamils after the shocking gruesome death of Rajiv Gandhi.
