Definitely disgraceful
So the Lalu appointed Bannerjee has come up with an interim report. The report has said what everybody had had expected....tone Lalu's line. As pointed out in this IE report, Mr. Bannerjee needed just 3 visits to Godhra and one public hearing in Delhi to arrive at its interim report! Arun Jaitley's reaction that the report is disgraceful is very apt. What will happen to Mr. Bannerjee if the Justice Nanavati commission decides that the fire was an act of sabotage? Will he be held accountable? Also, what was the reason for this interim report when the final report is due in March?
I would hold this as the single most anti-Hindu act done in recent past. It is an insult to the kar sevaks who died in that incident. This shows once again that the Hindu community has become passive and unresponsive to threats. Although I'm no big fan of extremism, patheitc actions like this requires nothing less than a mass protest. Not sure if the Bihar electorate can come out of petty casteist politics and throw the disgraceful Lalu out of power.
Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.
