-Godhra murder case and after that also commented on Gujarat riots
New Delhi. PM Modi Podcast: In the discussion of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's interview with Lex Freedman, Narendra Modi has clarified his position on various issues. Meanwhile, he has also commented on the 2002 Godhra murder case and then on the Gujarat riots, when Narendra Modi was the Chief Minister. In addition, the incident that happened in Godhra was terrible. People were burnt alive there. He said that riots erupted in Gujarat after this.
In 2002, 59 karswaks died in a fire in a box of Sabarmati Express in Godhra, Gujarat. After this, big riots erupted in Gujarat. Thousands of people were killed in these riots. Regarding the bitter memories of the Godhra scandal and the riots in Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “I would like to present a picture to you what happened in the 12 to 15 months before the Gujarat riots, such as the Gujarat riots.”
With this you will be able to guess the situation of that time. For example, an Indian aircraft going from Kathmandu to Delhi was kidnapped on 24 December 1999. The kidnappers took the aircraft to Kandahar in Afghanistan. Dozens of Indians were taken hostage. This created an atmosphere of concern in the whole country. It was a matter of life and death for the passengers.
Then, in 2000, terrorists attacked the Red Fort in Delhi. On 11 September 2001, terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center in the US, killing thousands of people. The Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly was attacked in October 2001 and the Indian Parliament was attacked on 13 December 2001. The mentality of the people was the same behind these attacks. These incidents took place at intervals of 8 to 10 months. Under such circumstances, I took the responsibility of Chief Minister of Gujarat on 7 October 2001. Modi also said that this was a big challenge for me.
Regarding the Godhra scandal and the Gujarat riots, Narendra Modi said that I was first elected MLA on 24 February 2002. It had been three days since I became a representative of the public. On 27 February 2002, we were sitting in the Gujarat Legislative Assembly for the budget session. At the same time, information about the massacre in Godhra was revealed. This was a terrible incident. People were burnt alive. Not only Kandahar kidnapping, attack on Parliament, but also an attack of 9/11, many people were killed and burnt alive after these incidents. You can imagine how tense the situation must have been at that time. This case was truly sad. Everyone likes peace.
