Whether Jagdish Tytler or any other congressman ever gets jailed for the 1984 riots is a moot point. The fact is, even after 23 years, not a single `secular' congressman has been punished. Dharam Das Gupta and HKL Bhagat are no more. Sajjan Kumar, though sidelined by Congress several years after the riots, is exonerated. Jagdish Tytler was in the Ministry in the present UPA government before he was sidelined, but he also stands exonerated by the CBI. The Congressmen, who draw attention to the Gujarat riots repeatredly, say they have apologized to the nation for the massacre. When did they apologize? In 2005. In other words, massacre in 1000s, apologize and then move on in life. But the so called secular brigade never rakes up this massacre. Is it because the victims are non-muslims and the perpetrators of the crime are deemed to be secular? The PM of the country calls Gujarat a genocide. Then, what about the anti-Sikh riots? Was that massacre also not a genocide? Why the PM of the country, a Sikh to the boot, does not call it so? Why CPI(M, with Nandigram blood on their hands, consider the anti-sikh riots as a genocide? Why the Teesta Setelvads, Tarun Tejpals and other seculars do not consider the 1984 riots as a genocide? In fact, the 1984 riots is the trend-setter which has taught the politicians that they can not only get away with individual murders, but also get away with mass murders. It is indeed amystery!

The govt fears that sikhs will retaliate again if the issue is raked up. so they try to hide in a corner about it.
