TOPIC: will Modi face justice?

IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt has been dismissed from service. He is the lone IPS officer from Gujarat that attested Modi instructed the police to not interfere during the 2002 riots. Even without the testimony of Bhatt, it is common sense that, even in India, you cannot indulge in the large scale slaughter of men, women, and children over a two month period without the people in power actively aiding and abetting the massacres.

Modi may do wonders for your economic well being and for your desire to assert India is a Hindu state. Maybe that is how Modi will finish up, lauded a hero. But I hope someday that our collective conscience will be appalled at how low we have fallen in choosing Modi as the PM. You cannot claim to be bothered by the crime against women in India if you support as PM the very man who controlled Gujarat when hundreds of women and young girls were reported to have been raped and burnt alive.

When the day comes for a developed and humane India to hold Modi accountable for the systemic slaughter of innocents, I hope there will be more Indians with the courage of Sanjiv Bhatt and Teesta Setalvad to help deliver justice.

Suspended Gujarat IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt sacked

Longtime Critic of Modi Is Now a Target

India’s Chilling Crackdown

Bhat was proven Guilty by Supreme Court of India in the rule of UPA (not BJP).

Here is some details from wiki:

In his affidavit, Bhatt mentioned six witnesses, who could testify his presence in the alleged meeting Modi's residence. He claimed that he had traveled to Modi's residence in the official car of K. Chakravarthi, which was being driven by Tarachand Yadav; Bhatt's own driver Constable KD Panth followed them in Bhatt's official car. Bhatt's affidavit was signed by KD Panth, whose statement supported Bhatt's presence at the alleged meeting at Modi's residence. On 24 June 2011, Panth filed an FIR against Bhatt, alleging that Bhatt had threatened him and forced him to sign a false affidavit.[20] Panth alleged that Bhatt took him to residence of Arjun Modhwadia, the state president of the opposition party, Indian National Congress. He further alleged that Modhwadia asked him to obey Bhatt.[21] Panth claimed that he was on leave in February 2002, when the riots broke out, and had already told this to the Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team (SIT).[20] Chakravarthi also denied that Bhatt was present in the meeting.[2]

There is nothing in there that states Bhatt was found guilty by the Supreme Court (for the simple reason he is not an accused unlike Modi).

You can go through the cast of characters and their claims and counter claims. But the bottomline is your belief in India: can Indians in India be systematically slaughtered on a large scale over a two - three month period without the active support/ participation of the people in power?

One would have to be clueless about India to believe the government couldn't have stopped the massacres within the first few days. Whether now or in 2002, such organized slaughters in India over an extended period of time can happen only if the government participated in the murders or supported the murderers.

The Patels agitation of 2015 tells you exactly why Modi is directly or indirectly responsible for the 2002 riots.

In the span of a day, even though the Patels riots of 2015 resulted mostly in property damage, the honorable Modi appeals for peace and agrees with the Gujarat CM's request that central forces need to be deployed. Contrast it with 2002 when Gujarat stonewalled for months all attempts to deploy central forces. Even as it was not just property that was set afire but human beings that were torched alive across Gujarat.

Contrast the quick actions of Gujarat 2015 with the murderous and deliberate inactions of Gujarat 2002 and you will understand why, even in India, you cannot loot, rape, and kill with gay abandon for months. Unless the government supports you, if not participates.

Irony of the Century- Modi says nobody gains from violence and appeals for peace that too in Gujrat, though he himself gained from 2002 violence (IMHO).

Isn't it magical that on day three we have reports like Calm returns to Gujarat ?

But magic is for babies, fairies, and the naive. Now that you have seen the government can indeed quickly control riots, ask yourself if the large scale systematic death and destruction in 2002 could have happened without the Modi government's active support and participation.

The nation in the very recent past rewarded Modi with the PM post even though innocent humans were tortured and slaughtered on his watch as CM. If this is the value you place on the lives of innocent fellow Indians, you should pause to ponder why your life and the lives of your family members should be valued any differently. Do think about that and question your conscience.

I hope the day shall come when India shows the compunction and resolve to hold Modi accountable for the horrors the nation witnessed in 2002.

Dumberdesi,

If you really feel so strongly about these issues why don't you file a case in India againsts Modi? India is a democracy and any one with issues can file a PIL.

Rather than sitting virtually behind a computer and posting with a fake screen name like a coward why not go ahead and use the legal channels? If you truly feel so strongly? FYI the supreme court of India has already acquitted Modi of all these charges so do some home work on reading those cases and judgements first before you file a PIL in Indian court system.

If not, you are nothing more than a hate spreading coward sitting behind a fake screen name and posting stuff you would not dare to say in court without evidence

100% Agree. What are the reasons to bring up the the 2002 riots issue now?
