I'm not in favour of unprovoked violence. But #GodhraRiots was started by Islamists by burning alive Hindus in a train coach- a tragedy which has no parallel in modern human history. In all the current discussion around Godhra, this seminal event is conveniently skipped. 1/n
The riots that ensued, the riots which was instigated by Islamists (like as always, backed by white collar Muslims) had proportionate response- people have the right to & they should never surrender this right. This event marked the beginning of new resilient Hindu society 2/n
which will not be a mute spectator to the carnage of their kith & kin by Islamists- happening since centuries. Godhra was Hindu society's 'enough is enough' moment, which learnt its lessons (albeit slow) from Kashmir Pundit genocide again by Islamists 3/n

Ahmed Patel,a shrewd politician obviously wanted his hold on his state Gujarat to remain unchallenged. Everyone knows he was one of the brains behind the dynasty,so he must have been alarmed to see a common man spear heading the Bjp campaign in Gujarat
He must have started observing him very keenly when Modiji was given important organizational work in the party,including Advani ji's Rath yatra. Like all politicians,Modi ji must have been scrutinized and I can just imagine the alarm/shock Patel must have felt when he found out
#CJI Chandrachud led bench has extended bail for Abdul Raheman Abdul Majid, a convict who co-conspired in carrying out the Godhra Train Carnage, on account of his wife suffering from Cancer & Children being specially abled #Godhra

🪡 While upholding the findings of the Special Investigation Team that gave a clean chit to @narendramodi in the #ZakiaJafri case, SC added that SIT had “come out with flying colours”.
Q: When exactly did Modi learn of the massacre on 28 Feb 2002—and how well did SIT quiz him?

2️⃣ In his reply to SIT in 2010, Modi claimed he learnt of the #GulbergSociety massacre only at a meeting that evening, at 8.30 pm.
Really?
While a mob of thousands attacked a Muslim pocket in #Ahmedabad, the CM—who *also* held the home portfolio—was unaware for 5 full hours?

In his 2014 book, ‘The Fiction of Fact-Finding: Modi and Godhra’, Mitta reveals how #SIT bought into Modi’s claim with barely any challenge.

Instead of working to get justice for karsevaks burnt alive (women & children, in particular)in #Godhra, these tendencies supported non-state actors to file concocted cases against the then Guj CM @narendramodi

27-02-2002: It broke out like an epidemic of viral flu. We may have been through several such epidemics, but nothing prepares us for the slaughter of men, women, children and even domestic animals. Never forget that the history of the human race is cruel. Watch this space...
I spent seven years (1998-2005) working as #Gujarat correspondent of @TheWeekLive. The pieces I'm posting here were written mostly in 2002 and chronicle the sequential turn of events, as I witnessed them that fateful year, beginning from where it all begun theweek.in/webworld/featu…
The above was an exclusive cover story for The Week's July 7 2002 issue. Took about three months to piece together the jigsaw puzzle that was #Godhra investigations at that point amid the mayhem and blood letting all around. I wrote about it all much later

Gujarat has been a peace loving state.
But what happened all of a sudden that Godhra incident happens, train catches fire and riots erupt. The entire state starts burning in the fire of murder, rape and violence. Who got political mileage from this scandal?

#GodhraMassacre shows no act from any Muslim, including roasting children to coal will make 'secularists' blame Muslims for any communal act. Whether Muslims attack VHP/RSS office in Chennai or whether Hindus kill Muslims, media will always blame Sangh Parivar like in #Godhra(40)
On 27 Feb 2018 2 more were convicted, & 3 acquitted. Outrage should be on acquittal of 63 accused earlier (like after Best Bakery case) & no death for 34 #GodhraMassacre convicts. They all deserved death! Media of course, silent, no demand for death even for THIS crime! (41)

Judge Abhay Thipsay joined Congress in 2018 after his retirement, had convicted 9 out of 17 accused in Best Bakery case in Feb 2006 despite no credible proof. Thipsay claimed that Hindus carried out the 2008 Malegaon blasts when nothing is proven yet esakal.com/saptarang/form… (1)

Author Mushrif went to d extent of implying that Muslims were wrongly blamed for d July 2006 Mumbai local train blasts, which killed 187 people & by extension, that those blasts were done by ‘Brahminists’ since the title of his book was ‘Brahminists bombed, Muslims hanged’. (3)
