Victory To The Mob
The Nanavati report is utter garbage. All the killers are roaming freely. Updates

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->As the news of her death spread, rampaging mobs of Hindus shouting khoon ka badla khoon se lenge (we will avenge blood with blood), armed with cans of petrol, matchboxes and lathis set upon Sikhs they met on the roadsâeasily identifiable because of their distinct appearanceâand set them on fire.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->What followed was largely condoned by Hindus and the Hindu-owned media.

Menon, editor of the Hindustan Times, wrote that they had "clawed their way to prosperity" and deserved what they got. There were few people left to share their pain. It must be acknowledged that some leaders of the Sangh parivar and the RSS, including A.B.Vajpayee, went out of their way to help the Sikhs.So did men like Ram Jethmalani, Soli Sorabjee and a few others.

People how would u characterise those riots, were they Hindu vs Sikh riots or Congressis against sikh riots, I know that there was strong anti sikh sentiment among Hindus at that time because of the Khalistan movement but would u characterise the riots as Hindu-Sikh. It does not matter if Congress organised them, were the people who did the riots Hindus or Congress party workers going on a rampage for Indira's death, can someone enlighten me here.
