Gujarat riots unfortunate, unfair to blame Narendra Modi for it, Rajnath Singh says

September 1, 2013

Narendra_Modi New Delhi, Sep 1: Terming the 2002 Gujarat riots as "unfortunate", BJP president Rajnath Singh on Sunday said it was unfair to blame state chief minister Narendra Modi for the incident and accused Congress and some other parties of dividing the country on religious lines.

"One of our states is Gujarat. I agree an unfortunate incident took place. Who does not agree that it was unfortunate. Attempts were made to blame Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi as if the riots were planned by the chief minister," Rajnath said.

Singh said during his personal interactions with Modi, he tries to read his facial expressions. "He looks so sad...what is wrong with the people. Is it politics?," the BJP president asked referring to charges that Modi was behind the riots.

He was addressing the inaugural session of BJP's minority morcha's national executive meeting.

He said people should ask the Muslims of the states whether they feel any discrimination under BJP's rule.

Singh also used the occasion to lash out at Congress for adopting the Britishers' 'divide and rule' policy.

"Whether Congress adopted any other policy of the British or not, they at least adopted their divide and rule policy...Congress and some other political parties have tried to sow the seeds of division in the country," he said.

He admitted that members of the minority community working for BJP find it difficult to propagate the party's policies among people due to the perception created that the party was against taking minorities along.

"The perception is away from the reality. We do not indulge in such politics," he maintained.

Mangaluru, June 11: The Saudi Arabia based Expertise Contracting Company, which is repatriating its employees to India and other countries, today allocated around 90 seats of one of its chartered flights to Kannadigas stranded in Saudi Arabia.

The Gulf Air flight took off with around 175 passengers on board from Dammam International Airport around noon local time. It is expected to land at Mangaluru International Airport at around 7 p.m. Indian time.

In fact the company had chartered the flights only to repatriate its employees. However, due to the lack of special flights under Vande Bharati Mission, the company decided to help the other stranded Kannadigas in Saudi Arabia, who had approached Saudi Kannadigas Humanity Forum for help.

A company official said that around 2,000 employees from various countries in the Indian subcontinent are being repatriated, of which 1,665 are Indians. Already hundreds of them have reached India, and hundreds are still waiting for repatriation.

“We are grateful to Expertise for allowing to travel in the flight which the company had chartered to repatriate its own employees,” said one of the passengers before boarding the flight at the airport.

Director of Expertise, KS Shaikh said the 20-year-old Expertise group, one of the largest conglomerates in the GCC operating in petrochemical and heavy equipment sectors, has more than 10,000 employees and their family members in the Gulf, mainly in Jubail, one of the largest industrial cities.

Of these, the company has chosen over 2,000 employees for the covid-related repatriations considering various emergencies. He said 12 chartered flights have been engaged to carry out the repatriation exercise to the Indian subcontinent.
