The country has witnessed horrific events throughout its history. Acts of mass violence are not new. What is saddenning to see is the attitude of the people who make comments condoning criminals. Those who support the killers (whether Godhra or Sikh/Hindu/Muslim immaterial), think how you might feel if you were among those who suffered such genocides. What if your near and dear ones got killed? Would you care who killed them? Won't you want justice? Would you like it if such killers roamed free? Moreover, in the time of the Sikh riots, (mind you, they were riots, not genocide like this), there were no news channels like this available nor the technology of small cameras. Think of the risk taken by the reporter. He would have been cut to pieces himself if he was found out. At least he has done his bit. What are we doing other than throwing muck on people? Lalu may have political motives in saying what he said but it does not make a demand for justice wrong. Let all those who perpetrate such crimes be punished ruthlessly. Let us see a really secular country where everyone is free to live without fear and no one dares to kill a human being just because they are born in some particular caste/religion. The first thing that dies in such criminal acts is humanity. I may only be dreaming but it's possible. Let no Modi, no Lalu, no Gandhi tell us to kill someone mindlessly. And yes, let there be swift justice for any who think they can harm this country. Only then we'll have hope.
