Fact:<\/strong> We have already seen the steps taken by the Government to quell the violence<\/a>, and in saving the lives of the victims- for example in Sanjeli, Bodeli and Viramgam areas of Gujarat. Hindus were also saved from violent Muslims in many places in Gujarat, like in Jamalpur on 1 March 2002, and in Modasa on 19 March 2002 when Muslims attacked.<\/p>

The Gujarat Government spent a lot of money for providing relief to the riot victims. None other than the UPA Government\u2019s MoS for Home Sriprakash Jaiswal said in the Rajya Sabha that too in a written reply on\u00a011 May 2005.\u00a0He said an amount of Rs 1.5 lakh was paid by the government to the next of kin of each person killed and Rs 5,000, Rs 15,000, Rs 25,000 and Rs 50,000 to those injured up to 10, 30, 40 and 50 per cent respectively.<\/p>

In addition, Jaiswal said\u00a0relief was also extended by the state government to the victims of the riots under the heads of cash doles and assistance for household kits, foodgrains to Below Poverty Line (BPL) families in affected areas, housing assistance, rebuilding earning assets, rehabilitation of small business, assistance to industries\/shop and hotel and so on.<\/strong><\/b><\/p>

The state government, Jaiswal said has informed that a total of Rs 204.62 crore (i.e. Rs 2046.2 million, of those days, which will be much higher by today’s rate accounting for inflation) has been incurred by it towards relief and rehabilitation measures. The Gujarat government has also informed that they had published the data as recommended by the NHRC, he added.<\/p>

And the Gujarat Government in an advertisement given in weekly\u00a0India Today\u00a0<\/em><\/i>dated\u00a06 May 2002\u00a0said-<\/p>

\u201cAt the rate of Rs 30 per person, the Government is spending Rs 35 lakh a day\u00a0<\/strong><\/b>on providing foodgrains to the 1.1 lakh inmates of the 99-odd relief camps in the state, 47 of them in Ahmedabad.<\/span><\/p>

The relief operations at the camps are being directly looked after by IAS officers of the rank of secretary to the state Government.<\/span><\/p>

The camps in Ahmedabad have been divided into six groups. Each group is being monitored by a bureaucrat of the rank of secretary. The secretaries have been looking after the minutest problems of the inmates.\u00a0Teachers were deputed in each camp to help the children prepare for the exams and the state Health Department has been taking special steps to look after the well being of the inmates. In order to rehabilitate the rural inmates, the Government has floated the\u00a0Sant Kabir Awas Yojana<\/em><\/i>\u00a0as per the directions of<\/strong><\/b>\u00a0<\/strong><\/b>Prime Minister A. B. Vajpayee. The scheme will enable the inmates to build houses.<\/strong><\/b>\u201d <\/span>(And in these camps were 1 lakh Muslims and 40,000 Hindus as well.)<\/p>

One link: https:\/\/hvk.org\/2002\/0502\/41.html <\/a><\/p>

\u00a0\u00a0 The SIT also quotes, on page 320 of its final report<\/a>, the then Ahmedabad Collector K Srinivas as saying that 71,744 persons were provided relief in the camps between 1 March 2002 and 31 December 2002 in Ahmedabad and these camps were provided government assistance in the form of essential commodities such as wheat, rice, dal, oil, milk powder, sugar, onions, potatoes, tea, etc for a total amount of Rs 6,89,57,547,50. This comes to 689.57 crore i.e. 6895.7 million Rupees. In addition, to meet miscellaneous expenses, Govt. assistance of 4.10 crore i.e. 41 million was provided, he claimed.<\/p>

It is not just unfair but also ridiculous to equate this with Hitler.<\/p>

Hitler ordered killing of Jews, not spending of money to help them, and other Christian Germans. In the 1971 East Pakistan genocide, West Pakistani soldiers killed allegedly around 2.4 million i.e. 24 lakh Hindus (and also 6 lakh other Bangladeshi Muslims, when their leader declared that Bangladeshis are un-Islamic) and also raped at least 2,50,000 Bengali women.<\/p>

\u00a0 Hindus are regularly killed, women abducted and forcibly converted to Islam, temples attacked, in Bangladesh and Pakistan. In Kashmir, in January 1990, Hindus were given three choices by the local Islamic leaders\u2014convert to Islam, die or leave Kashmir (leaving women behind).<\/p>

\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>The Gujarat police also made 21,000 preventive arrests as of 28 April 2002. Mass murderers like Stalin, Hitler never carried out preventive arrests to save the victims. Already 488 people have been convicted for the violence\u2014the highest ever in the country.<\/p>

\u00a0\u00a0 No Islamic country seems to have punished anyone for the killings of Hindus as much as they would if the victim was Muslim.<\/p>

From 1947, Pakistan has constantly harassed the Hindus, reducing their population from 20 % in West Pakistan to less than 2 % now. In Bangladesh also the Hindu population has declined from 34 % in 1901 to 29 % in 1947 to 22 % in 1951 to 8.6% in 2011. The governments of these Islamic countries [or government of Jammu & Kashmir state of India] did not <\/strong><\/b>reconstruct houses for these Hindus, or gave them financial compensation of crores of rupees, or spent 35 lakhs i.e. 3.5 million per day on them. Nobody arrested the culprits and punished them.<\/strong><\/b> Those who order killing of others- or want others to suffer horribly, do not take the pains to do all that the Gujarat Government did.\u00a0<\/p>

No Islamic country (or India itself in Kashmir in 1990) or other mass murderers like Saddam Hussain, Hitler ever carried out preventive arrests to save the victims. <\/strong><\/b>Pakistan did not even punish killers (Zakhrani) of the tallest Hindu leader of Pakistan- Sudham Chand Chawla. He was killed in broad daylight in Jacobabad on 29 Jan 2002 while returning from his rice mill. The culprits were not nabbed, nor was any compensation given to his family. He had in fact been complaining to the so-called civil society of Pakistan for years about the threat to his life, to the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan and yet nobody did anything. If this was the case with the biggest Hindu leader, then one can imagine the story of ordinary Hindus, who have already been reduced from 20 % in 1947 to less than 2 % now.<\/p>

\u00a0Needless infuriation of Muslims by a section of the media (Left-oriented), claiming that the Gujarat Government harmed the Muslims and covering up all help given to both Hindus and Muslims, has caused tremendous damage to India. Belgium-based world-famous scholar Dr Koenraad Elst has written<\/a>:<\/p>

\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cYou wouldn\u2019t guess it from their polished convent-school English, their trendy terminology, or their sanctimoniousness, but the likes of Romila Thapar, Irfan Habib or Gyanendra Pandey <\/strong><\/b>[Leftist historians who denied the crimes of medieval Muslim rulers of India, and denied that any temple was demolished at the site of the Babri Masjid]<\/span> have blood on their hands. <\/strong><\/b>\u00a0The wave of Muslim violence after the Ayodhya demolition (and the boomerang of police repression and Shiv Sena retaliation) was at least partly due to the disinformation by supposed experts who denied that the disputed building had a violent iconoclastic prehistory [i.e. Mosque built after demolishing an earlier Ram temple at the site]<\/span>, and implied that Hindus can get away with concocted history in their attacks on innocent mosques.\u00a0 This disinformation gave Muslim militants the sense of justification needed to mount a \u201crevenge\u201d operation and to mobilize decent Muslims for acts of violence which they never would have committed if they had known the truth about Islam\u2019s guilt in Ayodhya.\u201d<\/strong><\/b><\/span><\/p>
