Who was in charge? Sajjan Kumar, Jagdish Tytler and HKL Bhagat were congress MPs/leaders without any administrative power. On the contrary, Modi was the CM and led the home ministry which directly controls Police and other administrative machinery of the state
Who got the green signal? The congress leaders or anyone for that matter can incite a crowd based on their clout but cannot lead a official meeting. Modi, in fact, held an official meeting in which he allegedly said - Lets not obstruct the Hindu rage.
Day to Day operations? MPs constitutional mandate is to participate and vote in lawmaking. CMs constitutional duty is to manage day to day operations and protect state citizens. Both groups engaged in inhuman actions but one has a much larger potential for misuse of power due to huge official machinery. In business terms, MPs are shareholders while CEO is in charge of daily operations.
Apology? In a Gandhian moment of moral clarity, Congress Prime Minister apologized to Sikhs for the 1984 riots although he was not personally involved in the same. We are still waiting for Hindutva Samrat to apologize to victims of violence in his backyard.
Why target Modi?: All 3 MPs and pussy cat Namo should be indicted by legal process. Even if that fails, conscious citizens should openly censure all 4, irrespective of their party affiliation. Political career of the 3 congress leaders was more or less finished after this incident. Modi's career has actually flourished since the crisis. There is no reason for us to give a blank check to Modi and we should absolutely question if we want a bigoted zealot to be our PM. We would do exactly the same if any one of the 3 congress leaders was seeking any senior role.
