Ok, i will make it short (yeah right π)
Modi saab was appointed as Gujarat CM by then PM ABV.
Hardly anybody knew Modi saab in Gujarat. To his credit, hw was tea glasses at railway stations as a child. Chailwala.
His parents forced him to get married... and he ran away one day.. never to come back. (π Therez a huge contrast here between Ganghiji and Modi saab π)
He was RSS youngmen, the organization thats been tarnished holier-tha-thou english media in India.. but for the record, they turn up to help on scene of natural disasters first and they leave it last. Cameras dont matter.
Fats forward.. he was appointed as Gujarat CM by Modi in crisis. Gujarat is safe heaven for BJP.
Come 27 Feb. 2002. A train is coming back to Gujarat carrying so many "Kar sevaks" nobody is killing anybody.
5 Kms away from that station, a mob is all well n prepared to put the whole train on fore and make sure nobody escapes from either sides of the train.
That mob belonged to a particular community and is funded by local Congress leaders.
The train is 2 hours late.. half of the mob ppl leave the place. May be bored, may be God has just pumped their hearts.
2 hours late? How much kerosene they have.. how many bottle bombs they have.. everything needs to be worked out ( I have read an interview of the person involved in it).
The train comes... more than 2 hours late.. (Indian standard time).. in remote place. One of the 17 guys in the train who r part of this horrible crime.. pulls the chain.. and stops the train.
Next.. throwing bottle bombs at the windows.. and trying to show that they will come into the compartments and kill them. The ppl on the door closed the doors. Thats what the "gentlemen" on the other side wanted.
They went onto keep throwing anything that is loved by fire.. with their sward opened if anybody comes out of that boggy, will be butchered. Therez no way to go anywhere for victims. I have seen victims from Twin towers just letting go and fly coz heat is too much to handle... as tragic as its is... they had that ONLY choice. Sad sad sad sad.. Godhra "Sabarmati express" didnt even had that choice.
The news spread like wild fire.. all over the world esp in Gujju community.
The local newspapers (as always) giving the every single detail as it comes.. (Gujarat samachar, sandesh, dainik bhashkar.. etc..) The local congress leader didnt even let the cops, ambulence or fire trucks to go the place. For 3 hours. they were on standstill.
The same local newspapers posted the charred bodies of women n children and that was very irresponsible thing to do.. those pics were so horrific.. it angered the whole community.. which is otherwise very tolerant.
BACKLASH.. what do u expect? Majority should just keep calm and be sensible.. so that minority can get away with anything?
What happened next .. well, Modi was slapped by a common man. Modi the rookie politician back then asked help from maharashtra and MP govt.. but they denied.
So he let the authorities in Police dept to handle the serious case. Well, cops had already made their mind up. 90% of them r hindus. Ok, let the mobs do what they want, we will just watch unless we need to interfere.
It just went went on n for for months.. if figures interest u.. there were 4 muslims killed compared to one Hindu. In the backlash.
BTW, HE IS ONE OF THE HIGH PROFILE POLITICIAN WHO FACED "SC " AND GOT THE CLEAN CHEAT RIGHT THEN N THERE.
So, back to the topic... π Its not abt being 16 years old boy, had few drinks and smashed the car and killed some1. Cops wud take care of what happened and what will happen after that.
I actually dont even know if salman has chose the right path to peace. π denial is gonna eat him up from inside.. tarikh pe tarikh.. gonna make him outdated.. but untill then BW will milk him π aa jao bhaiya... dudh nikalo.. baad me to slaughter house jana hi hai.. π
