"It is very strange and saddening to see that when such acts are perpetrated against minorities, all political leaders rush to issue statements of condemnation. But when persons belonging to the majority are subjected to similar perpetration of heinous crimes, not a single political leader has so far issued a statement condemning this barbaric crime. Such acts of senseless violence should be condemned no matter who is responsible for them and no matter who the victims are. It is not as though a crime is a crime only if it is committed against the minorities and not so if it is committed against the majority community. This should be viewed as a crime committed against humanity. It is not only the minorities who enjoy rights under the Constitution. The majority has rights too."
~~~ J. Jayalalithaa (1948-2016) speaking on the Godhra incident...and very boldly reminding everyone that it was the Sabarmati Express Massacre that led to Godhra – the only prominent non-BJP leader to do so.
Respect for this, Amma. And also for the compassionate side of yours described in this article. Rest in peace.
