Fact 6: As on March 5, as many as 40,000 Hindus had to be given shelter in relief camps. Plenty of media coverage was given to the plight of Muslims in relief camps but no Delhi-based media covered any Hindu relief camps.
Fact 7: In answer to Parliament questions, the UPA Home Minister provided the figures of casualties during the Gujarat riots: 790 Muslims killed, 254 Hindus killed, 2,500 wounded in all and 223 missing. These details nail the lie that what happened in Gujarat was a 'one-sided affair': For every three Muslims who died in Gujarat , one Hindu was also killed.
Such heavy casualties in riot control are unprecedented in the entire history of the Indian police. The figures of casualties caused by police firing in the first three days alone indicate the ferocity of police action. Yet, the 'secular' parties and their cohorts in media even to this day proclaim unabashedly that Mr Modi ordered the police "to look the other way" to give a free hand to 'murderers' for three days. If they have any respect for the truth, they can cross-check the casualties with hospital records. The police is duty bound to carry those killed and wounded in police firing to Government hospitals.
