Godhra v/s Marad
Kerala sits on riot report indicting Cong govt, Muslim League
KOCHI, APRIL 25: The judicial commission probing Kerala’s worst communal massacre in Marad in 2003 has severely indicted almost every arm of the Congress-led United Democratic Front Government: politicians, police officers and top bureaucrats.
It has also found that the massacre was a planned conspiracy involving extremist organizations, including those funded from abroad, organisations, it said, successive state governments have used to cultivate "vote banks".
...
So if the report is about Godhra, oops... post-Godhra, then the report (even if it is concocted by the great secular Lalu) occupies the media for years. But take Marad, where 8 Hindus were massacred, then it is time to sweep the report under the carpet. Pseudosecularism doesn't get more typical than this.
