Pardon me for displaying my ignorance on his issue. Both posts below claim of an "original attack". But neither said who did the "original attack". The link provided by Santosh to the story in The Telegraph does not claim who "orchestrated" the attack. (see below) If the attack was orchestrated, then there should be a trail of the conspiracy. Let's have some names or institutions, instead of more innuendoes and what someone "believes" on either side of the divide.
Even if there was an original attack, this looks like a repeat of the Gujarat riots saga. Who ever starts it, the chaos spins our of control with loss of life and property, most of the brunt suffered by the minority. Then to claim the government could / cannot "do much to stop it" is specious. Do we want another Gujarat or Rwanda type event ... who and however it was started? >From the Telegraph: Though the Swami believes that the “violence was spontaneous”, the attack on him “was orchestrated”, to eliminate him. “And that has put the region’s Hindus on the defensive,” he said, while talking to The Telegraph Kind Regards, GL ---------------- Miguel Braganza AFTER attacking the vehicle with a swami and injuring his driver and POLICE security officer, can one truthfully claim that the violence was unprovoked? If the answer is an assertive YES, I am your fairy godmother! --------------- Santosh Helekar > The interest of communal harmony would have been better served if this official religious body had acknowledged that these horrendous acts of violence also involved, and were most likely provoked by, an attack on a swami, as had been mentioned by Miguel and others. http://www.telegraphindia.com/1071228/jsp/nation/story_8715577.jsp
