Fact<\/strong>: This photo has been used repeatedly throughout India and the world. The victim, Qutubuddin Ansari, is seen pleading for mercy to the rioters. Many questions that arise (and some of which were raised by the then RSS chief K S Sudarshan [1931-2012] in his speech in Nagpur on 4th<\/sup>October 2003), are:<\/p>

1-A MASSIVE CLUE IS GOT ON THIS PHOTO BEING FAKE<\/strong>\u00a0(means taken after the incident\u00a0 by the photographer asking the victim to pose thus, or taken when Ansari was genuinely in such a position but definitely after the incident was over)\u00a0looking at the bandage on the poor victim\u2019s face. This suggests that after the incident was over, bandage was applied to his face, and then the photo was clicked.\u00a0 If this photo was clicked with the mob targeting him and he pleading a bloodthirsty mob for mercy, how did he have the time to apply bandage on his face?<\/strong><\/p>

2-Also, it seems scarcely believable that the victim is pleading to rioters to spare his life on the first floor of the building, no rioter is seen in the photo, the photographer Arko Dutta was present at that very moment in that building to snap this in his camera and the rioters did nothing to either the photographer or the victim and allowed him to snap such a clear photo of the victim.<\/strong><\/p>

3-How and why did the rioters leave him alive and not kill him?<\/p>

4-How was the photographer allowed to take the photo by the rioters? Why did they not attack him?<\/p>

5-How, at least, did the rioters not destroy his camera if they would have left both Ansari and the photographer alive?<\/p>

And\u00a0 a couple more:<\/p>

6-Can the photographer, Mr. Arko Datta of the Reuters,<\/em>\u00a0explain any of the above questions?<\/p>

7- Can Mr Ansari answer any of the above questions and other questions which may be raised on this issue?<\/p>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Here it must be said that the poor victim Qutubuddin Ansari is reported to have said \u201cThis photo was taken after the mob had left my house. The police were there and I was very scared and at this time the photo was clicked\u201d.\u00a0 This is what has been said by a senior journalist of Gujarat. However, we could not get such a newspaper report available today on the web. But to be fair, we also could not get any report in which Ansari claims to be pleading before a mob to spare his life. So it is possible that Qutubuddin Ansari himself denies that he was pleading to a blood-mercy mob.\u00a0In this report it is said by a Muslim website itself that he was pleading to security forces (after the mob had left) and not to a blood-thirsty mob.<\/strong><\/p>

Someone must now pin-pointedly ask him about this. If Mr Ansari claims that he indeed was pleading before\u00a0 a bloodthirsty\u00a0 mob, then it must be asked to him as to how he had bandage applied on his face. The poor guy is also fed up of the constant use of his photo and harassment and has urged the media to leave him alone many times,\u00a0starting from as early as August 2003.<\/a><\/p>

We repeat here that we have utmost sympathies for the victim, Mr Qutubuddin Ansari since he was no doubt a victim of the riots.\u00a0 But that cannot be a license to concoct a fake photo and circulate it the world over instigating innocent people to terrorism.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

These are just 2 of the\u00a0true photos of Godhra victims<\/a>. Will the media dare to show them worldwide? This section of the media will circulate the fake photo of Qutubuddin Ansari worldwide which is highly inflammatory. The lies of the media have caused many innocent Muslims to turn fanatics. If the Muslims (and also the secular- liberals) had known the guilt of Islam in roasting Hindus in Godhra, and seen the gruesome photos of Godhra, they would not have been needlessly instigated by the post-Godhra riots (which were also not one-sided).<\/p>
