godhra riots

20 years since Godhra carnage, lest we forget

When other Indian celebrities, like the Khans who rule Bollywood, are not attacked for their religion, would it not be unfair to claim Faruqui is 'targeted' for his religion?

The Milli Gazette, which claims to be the leading newspaper for Indian Muslims, justified the Godhra train massacre.

The arguments were inconclusive and will be heard again on December 1. Congress leader Kapil Sibal is representing the petitioner in the case.

Tripura incident has again brought to the fore that the absolutely brazen behaviour of shooting from the hip and shrugging off responsibility of actions is a trick as old as time.

This comes after organisations such as Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad registered protest against the conducting of the show. They had accused Faruqui of insulting Hindu gods and goddesses and hurting the religious sentiments.

Bajrang Dal leaders had threatened they will disrupt Munawar Faruqui's show for having insulted Hindu gods and goddesses in name of 'comedy'.

Bajrang Dal activists have pledged that they will not allow 'comedian' Munawar Faruqui to perform in Surat, Gujarat.

While Mitra did not explicitly compare the incident with Mamata Banerjee to the Godhra carnage, that he believes that the incident would 'lead to Godhra like riots' could mean only one thing.

How the 59 Karsevaks who were burnt alive were never the victims of violence for the 'liberals'
