Mumbai riots - tit for tat
by reformer on Oct 26, 2007 12:04 PM

The people who critcise Shivsena doen't know anything about mumbai riots. They simply sit somewhere in India and try to comment on Mumbai riots. The people who crying over trageting muslims are either blind or pretending to be like that.
Mumbai witnessed 3 riots. One was right after babri demolition, where lots of hindus were targeted. mostly were common people, who had nothing to do with politics. (So called secularist, pls note it) and in second riots, police force was targated. That time, congress was in goverment. Being secular, they didn't try to save so called fanatic hindus and police force. Nobody like so called Human activists Mahesh Bhat & Shabana Aazmi and Abu aazami came forward and tried for peace making. And third riot happened and we know about it. ShivSena got support in mumbai. overall sentiments were " Only sena can save hindus and mumabi".
This was just "tit for tat". I don't know whether its right or wrong. but this is history. So don't blame sena alone. Try to find out reasons behind it.

Even recently, a couple of years back, 2 police constables were killed brutally in a day light in Bhiwandi. The reason,the community wanted to shift the police chouki away from mosque. Since government is secular, nobody was arrested. God knows what happened to the families of those poor police. As usual, english media kept mum over it. since those were police, why mahesh bhat and shabana aazmi will bother to take a press conference and protest?
