Know the facts

Over last one month almost every news article on Gujarat elections mentioned one ugly word about Gujarat riots - "pogrom". Yet our so-called "secular" media avoids using this word when (on rarest of all occasions) they write about the 1984 anti-sikh riots executed by Congress following Indira Gandhi's assassination by her Sikh bodyguards.

Every Indian voter who is concerned about communalism in India should read about what happened in 1984. Mentioned above is a good link from wikipedia. Only thing the wikipedia article does not mention is that in 5 days of rioting, 2733 Sikhs were killed (these are official figures, real figures might be higher), while the entire government machinery watched in silence. (On 4th Nov 1984 alone, 1000 Sikhs were killed!). Compare these figures with 254 Hindus and 790 Muslims killed in over two months in post-Godhra riots in Gujarat.

Know the facts, then read your favourite newspaper.
