i agree with u mr.B.raman.the denial of visa to mr.modi is really a shocking fact.many at time people of different countries do acts which are very bad and are a shame for the mankind but US has never cancelled their visa or did something of that kind.i am really shocked over this atitude of US government.they have shown that do not have guts to say something in public and have cowardly did this job.whatever happened in gujarat was a shame to the nation but he was again elected the chief minister of the state.so how can a country denya visa to a person who has been constitutionly elected by lacs of people.this is very horrible incident and i really condemn this action of theirs.

If what happened in Gujarat is a shame to the nation, then those responsible should be dealt with appropriately. It is common knowledge that riots are a means to political polarization, an election after which can only support the majority community on precincts of the candidate being from the community and not based on leadership qualities. Moreover, laws in US dont have it that constitutionally elected leaders of other countries should be provided with visas. But it does have it that leaders with history of religious persecution be prohibited. Who are we Indians to argue upon the laws of another nation? Lets set our houses right before complaining of other houses. The fact that another country has lopsided rules need not make our Modis less culpable.
