We must convey our feelings of shock, disgust and outrage to Asma Jahangir.
There is no way she was not aware of the symbolic significance to going to
the Chief Minister's house in Gandhinagar and meeting the man who not only
presided over the massacre of 2002 but whose administration did everything
to stop the process through which the victims could get relief and justice.
Asma Jahangir is absolutely wrong in saying the the state government of
Gujarat is taking measures to ensure that the victims could get relief. The
said fascist government has consistently been taking measures in the
opposite direction. If Asma Jahangir cares for her credibility, she must
take back that disgusting approval which flies in the face of facts. These
facts have been put together in the course of the past six years by India's
brave civil society and media. I feel deeply embarrased and ashamed that the
leading light of our country's human rights activists has tried to negate
the work of Indian human rights activits and journalists. Asma must act to
save her lifetime's work from getting destroyed.
