In 1984, we had heard a statement comparing the massacre of innocent people to "shaking of ground when a big tree is uprooted". and in the late 90's a lady came forth and apologized to the families of massacred people for all the carnage which happened in 1984. These statements come from 2 people from a family wherein power runs in their blood. Also, one of these 2 became a PM and the second one very close to becoming one. I have a simple question to ask. Is this kind of arrogance in 1984 fit to come from a PM? And an apology after almost 15 years? Is it not a slap in the face of folks who saw many of their own near and dear ones get massacred? And what triggered the tree to get uprooted? Her own policies and headstrong atrocious agenda on Bhindranwale and Khalistan? If you get hit by a truck while crossing the road when you have been absolutely careless enough not to watch the traffic, would you still want your supporters to bash up the truck driver just because you got hit? This can never be justified. But for 30 long years, people never though once of turning back the pages of history and learn lessons. The place where all this happened, may I ask how much development has been made? May I ask if ladies are safe? May I ask if pollution levels are under check? Also , may I ask if problems existing in 1984 have been tackled and solved? No one will answer now. 2002 is so much etched in memory that it is the convenience of memory loss to see the good side of the coin. When Modi asked for a fair inquiry for the Sabarmati express incident, the committee says the fire was triggered inside. Wow....Someone sitting inside will bolt the doors from outside and ignite a fire to kill helpless men, women and children. Brilliant!!!!! As a newly sworn CM of the state, Modi asks for help from Maharshtra, MP and Rajasthan Govts. All governed by Congress. What he gets is a blunt refusal to help. He still manages to get things under control and is chosen back in power not once, not twice but thrice in a row. This happens through the same democratically driven process. I feel the development in Gujarat is for all to see. And this when brick bats were being hurled from all directions and Modi was still walking on his one point agenda of development. From a carnage to horse trade inflicted new Govt is what Delhi is today. From carnage to an ever evolving development and a superior level of administration is what Gujarat is today. Voters of India, take your pick.....
