Gujarat can't be compared to '84 anti-Sikh riots: Fernandes
Ludhiana, August 13: NDA convener George Fernandes today said the post-Godhra violence in Gujarat and the 1984 anti-Sikh riots could not be compared.
The Gujarat "reaction" was a spontaneous outburst following the Godhra train incident, he told reporters here.
He said in Gujarat the Army was deployed as soon as the state government had asked for it whereas this did not happen during the Delhi riots. Also, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi was not involved in the violent incidents, he said. Fernandes alleged that several Congressmen were directly involved in the '84 riots.
