A number of attempts have been made by the BJP, RSS, VHP and the Bajrang Dal to prove that there is no specific evidence to indict the involvement of Gujarat CM Narendra Modi in the communal violence of February 2002 in Gujarat. However, the instances highlighted as under will give a detailed account, each verified by a number of sources, of the clear involvement of the CM and his attempt to ensure that the entire state machinery followed his dubious diktat.
In Closing
The Gujarat massacre was pre-planned and the state government of Gujarat was complicit and culpable at the highest level. Three years later, Narendra Modi remains in violation of the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998, and other international laws. The Modi government in Gujarat is responsible for the deaths of thousands of its citizens in instances of organized violence, large-scale displacement of its minority populations, continuing denial of justice and the climate of terror that permeates civil society in Gujarat even today. Narendra Modi must be held accountable for his complicity and instigation of anti-minority violence, and for the injustices and trauma that his actions continue to propagate to this date.
Who Invited Narendra Modi?
Amid such concern, Narendra Modi is preparing for his first post-2002 visit to the United States.[77] His visit is endorsed by Sangh affiliated organizations and supporters in the United States,[78] many among which undertake fund raising to sustain the work of Hindu nationalism in India, and are linked to Hindu nationalist organizations supporting Modi in Gujarat.
