Modus Operandi

A verdict of Ahmedabad court and a statement by BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi followed by it made a buzz in recent political scenario. Mr. Modi published a blog post invites vocal uproars. It was after 11 years became vocal prior to the victims. These eleven years in sot a short time, and 2002 massacre is not dissolved into history. for the last eleven years it was alive and it got new dimensions when BJP announced Modi as their Prime Ministerial Candidate for 2014 elections. Recently Mr Modi has been acquitted by Ahmedabad court from the charges of a massacre held in Gujarat during 2002.

Prima facie Modi was suspected in this case. But the investigating agencies were ‘failed’ to produce evidences against him in court. It might be legally correct. But there is a larger implication of Social correctness. Many former bureaucrats and high level official who worked under Modi like Sanjiv Bhatt and Sharma are still vocal bout Modi’s involvement in the riot. According to Sanjiv Bhatt, ‘the SIT has done as much harm to this country’s ethos as those lying politicians and those blood-thirsty mobs which ran riot in those dark days. What misfortune that we had to expect anything half-way good to emerge out of their investigations. It’s a grave, dastardly fraud perpetuated upon us by the same inhuman system that failed to deliver justice during the ’84 riots, the 92-93 riots and the terrible Bhopal Gas tragedy!’

A mere confession like statement is not at all a closure to the issue until the justice delivered. Though I am not a linguistic, the tongue that Modi used in his statement is not appropriate for a confession which suppose to address the survivors and nation. Literately the statement did not serve anything to justice. But it reflects an eye towards Delhi. By this strategy BJP can pull a minority in Muslim community into chaos and can make them not to vote against him. But it will not happen in a larger level.

There can be no closure to 2002 without Justice and Reparation; and there can be no Justice and Reparation without Truth and Genuine Remorse.
