Your use of the word "unleashed" shows your deep hatred for him. Will you say the governor of Missouri unleashed the shooting incident and subsequent riots? Should we sentence him for life?.it was exactly the same situation back then. I agree that modi did not do a good job in controlling the mob as the head of the state but those riots were an immediate reaction to the actions of one religious group that put arsenal in a railway coach and burnt 200 people alive. 3 separate investigative committees headed by supreme court of India couldn't find any evidence that modi instigated these riots.

59 people were killed, not 200.

Isn't Modi hailed an as administrative genius, are you saying the riots were justified?

59 makes it alright?

The classic bait.

> Give a wrong number.

> Someone corrects.

> So that makes it alright?

This is the only post you've ever commented on. You're either very passionate about this subject or you're just looking to troll. Either way, I am off this thread because like @sremani said, you're doing disservice to the article and this comment thread. This is not the HN I like.

Did I ever say it makes it alright? All I asked for was given how Modi is hailed for his "Administrative skills" should he have swung into action contained the riots and brought the criminals to justice.

Isn't that what we expect from our elected officials than a horrific free-for-all?

Please stop, all of you.

"Will you say the governor of Missouri unleashed the shooting incident"

Actually, considering his ties to the police, I would.

The riots went on for 3 days with the government actively participating in arsoning, looting and murdering. It is not even close to the current situation in Missouri.

You choose to believe the Supreme court headed "investigation" committees as though they are the gospel of truth. If you're from India, do I need to remind you how the judicial system in India works? Most of the evidences have been destroyed the police and the judiciary in fact has been further victimizing the riot victims. There is video evidence of Modi instigating a mob to cut people up which has been ignored by the judiciary.

Moreover, the riots were not an immediate reaction but they were being planned since years. Thousands of weapons don't land up in the hands of rioting mobs overnight.
