This is the lowest common denominator of vileness that hirelings and lackeys of the Sangh Parivar.
First, the figure is probably not 2500. That correction is the only relieving element in this utterly vicious post.
Second, it was a planned and directed attack by a group of Sangh Parivar bodies, including BJP, VHP and Bajrang Dal, on the Muslim community, with the passive help of the state. Policemen were instructed by both the Chief Minister and the Home Minister, according to the testimony of senior police officers who managed to come out of the repressive net of information suppression years after the events.
Third, there were Hindu casualties as well. Not every attacked locality, not every defenseless man, woman or child, gave up without a fight. The frenzied rage of the rioters themselves helped a pitiful few of their victims to resist and fight for a few brief minutes before being murdered. That is what the 200 odd Hindu casualties is about. It was not at all a clash between two communities, it was an outright act of barbarism by frenzied mobs. The leaders of the mobs have bragged on camera about their triumphant feelings at having committed these massacres with relatively few losses. Those camera records are the most sickening instances of inhumanity that are to be seen.
Conflating this with the Sikh massacres of 1984 is the worst kind of subterfuge, in moral terms, but also the stupidest.
Those criminals are still being sought. Even today, concerned citizens, not Sikhs, have testified, and are also moving actively to seek justice in the name of the law. Those riots were equally by a political party against an isolated community, and equally to be condemned, equally to be punished. It is bizarre to think that some fools equate the slow pace of justice against those perpetrators with the slow pace of justice against the Gujarat massacre masterminds. That is itself, without these scummy dregs realizing it, a loud confession that both were guilty, both evade punishment by using their grip on the levers of government administration to obstruct investigation at every level.
For the vilest part, the family and personal slanders and slurs, this has been the stock in trade of the filthiest elements of the Sangh Parivar. To remind readers of their peculiar, perverted view of the world, these are the ***** who said, in public, on record, that Muslims did everything in reverse, that while Hindus ate with their right hands, the Muslims did so with their left; extending this, that Hindus ate with their mouths. What can be filthier than these comments? That is the exact, precise group that ainsinuated that Feroze Gandhi was not a Parsi, after all, but that from his first name, his provenance was clear. Our member, @
vsdoc, a Parsi of high lineage who has possibly since left the forum, testified bluntly that Feroze Gandhi was well known within the community, and that they did not know why the Sangh Parivar felt that he was a crypto-Muslim (as if that matters to anyone but the foul creatures that make up the Parivar).
I have opposed the Congress for forty years, but they never stooped to the vicious levels of the Parivar. Only utter swines could come ut with this libels, and repeat them so readily at every opportunity.
