Yes, Modi allowed the carnage that followed Godhra train incident where Muslims were selectively chosen, rounded up and killed, while the administration and its machinery, stood by, abetted and participated in that carnage. What did Congress do after Indira Gandhi%u2019s assassination? Its leaders went to the street in New Delhi, rounded up Sikhs and burnt them alive, where thousands lost their life, just because they belonged to an identity. And Rajiv Gandhi purportedly reacted, rather coldly, %u201CWhen a mighty tree falls, it is only natural that the earth around it does shake a little...%u201D After those killings, a commission and its report which looked into those calculated-and-methodical killings was rubbished and completely ignored by the Congress. A book that detailed those riots was banned forever. Even recently Congress has not acted on Sri Krishna Commission Report which looked into riots that followed Babri Masjid episode where thousands of Muslims were killed. Indian Left has no stance of its own on such issues, and when it gets a chance to make a stand, it does a Nandigram, riddled with hypocrisies only an Indian politician can conjure up. When the nation cannot bring honest leaders to the front, the criminals, thieves and goons who confess their crimes openly in front of millions are lauded and hailed as strong and honest over the weak and corrupt leaders who are blatantly dishonest.

Indira Gandhi was one person while in Godhra whole train was burnt mercilessly. It was just congress party who did this while in Gujarat even a common hindu had hatred for muslims during that time. Where was the media and all reporters when people of Gujarat (mostly hindus) were suffering after babri masjid demolition. I am not completely against muslims, but Modi has risen only from the pro-muslim politics in India
