Victims letter to Narendra Modi, Chief Minister, Gujarat

Ahmedabad,September 19 :THERE cannot be sadbhavna without justice. No amount of power or arrogance gave Midas his glass of water nor will you get your sadbhavana with all your developmental publicity. We have no ill- feelings towards our Hindu brothers and sisters despite our terrible loss and sufferings. We both are the victims of powerful political forces whose strength lies in our division.

We alone can create sadbhavana by uniting and defeating the forces of fraud and deception for vote politics.

You may be doing all this for your great ambition to become Prime Minister of the country, but we have only one small demand for justice. If you were so great a chief minister as you claim today, why could not you protect these innocent, helpless Muslims? In fact, why did you fail to protect the innocent 58 passengers of Sabarmati Express who also died in the terrible fire on February 27, 2002.

Are you celebrating the pain of the victims or are you trying to confuse the people by organising the five- star programme to give an impression that the cases against you have been closed. Have you ever peeped into the hell through which we the victims and community as a whole is going through? No, you have not and we know, you have no desire or intention to give us justice.

Why POTA was applied to only the Muslim accused in different cases and why did you not order investigation into the fake encounters.

Why you did not take action against the police officers involved.
