Akshay responded:
I need to see V P Singh(PM of india when kashmiri pundits were 
driven out), Farook Abdulla(CM) & Mufti "Bastard Saeed in chains 
taken to refugee camps of kashmiri pundits n to let them decide 
whether they are to be lynched or left. if they r left i shall 
lynch them personally.

i need to see all surviving congressmen who were responsible for 
the attacks on sikhs taken to punjab n let victims decide whether 
they r to be lynched or not. alienating the sikhs(always our 
brothers in arms) was the worst crime against india - -i have no 
words to condemn that.

============
I fully agree with you on that.

But you quote and understand me wrong in my earlier mail. You 
quoted me partially and ignored the next sentence. The full quote 
shouLd have been "If even half of what the tribunal reported is 
true, then Modi and the accused police officers need to be sent 
into the relief camps of Muslims one by one to be lynched or 
pardoned. But BEFORE we come to such a conclusion, we need to see 
if the commission arrived at its conclusion in a fair manner." And 
I proceeded to establish that the Tribunal has NOT BEEN IMPARTIAL 
in collection and assessment of evidence.

Does this imply that I am recommending lyching of Modi & Co? I 
sure will, IF their complicity in the carnage is proved in an 
IMPARTIAL inquiry. Just as Farooq Abdullah, Sajjan Kumar, HKL 
Bhagat etc. should be subjected to same treatment.

Please read the post carefully before criticizing. You seem to 
have at least glanced through it unlike Mr. Zaveri who just read 
the opening sentences and flew off the handle. Thanks for that.

Also, I am in full agreement with you on the dangers of 
pseudo-secularism. They do more harm to minority communities by 
converting moderate Hindus into hardline. The tribunal's work is 
an example. Though I sympathize with the gujarat riot victims and 
felt that the State Govt. could have done better in quelling the 
violence (treating as a law and order problem rather than a 
politico-religious problem), I was appalled by the partiality with 
with the Tribunal approached the problem. That was the reason and 
motivation for my post.
