Whats gone wrong in Gujarat is very simple. (I am not sure why many Indian Hindus are not able to see this.) A state or an individual in an official capacity cannot abet, support or participate in targeted killings of certain people based on their identity, no matter what. Such actions cannot be condoned, tolerated or excused, no matter what.
When an Islamic militant blows up a train, he is considered a criminal. When is caught, he is put in jail. He is not allowed to walk scot-free. He is not hailed as a hero and voted to power.
So, when a Hindu political leader does something illegal, he should be arrested, prosecuted and put in jail. He should not be allowed to walk scot-free, and definitely he should not be allowed to hold power.

The leader of any islamic militant anywhere in the world is his Mulla/Maulvi/Mufti. You mean to say that in the event the followers do something criminal, the leader should be arrested and sentenced and in any case definitely should not be allowed to hold power.
