Riots In India

<b>Man behind 1984 Sikh riot whitewash defends himself</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->He is satisfied he was able to give a positive report. ‘‘I did come to some positive findings: <b>the entire Sikh community was not to blame for the assassination and to indict them as a community is wrong</b>. It was also crucial to find out who were the people behind the murderous act.’’

Justice Misra insists the riots were not organised by any political party. <b>‘‘How can you say the riots were pre-meditated. Nobody apprehended Indira Gandhi’s murder, no one could have organised the loot and murder of so many thousands of people. A serious thing (assassination) happened, a serious reaction came. It was a frenzy.’’ </b>

On the Congress’s alleged role, Justice Misra says, <b>‘‘I was not called to give a finding on the party’s role. However, how can you call a political party a murderer. The Congress is a big party, how can you tell which man on the street is a member of the party?’’</b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
But why its different when it comes to post Godhra riots?
