9 English MediaRole Deliberately played down Deliberately played Up

10 SecularsComment Nope , Silence on whole issue 'Secularist' viewpoint was bestexemplified by the comment

Teesta Setalvad made to The

Washington Post of February

28. She said, 'Let us notforget the provocation. Thesepeople were not going for abenign assembly. They wereindulging in blatant andunlawful mobilization to builda temple and deliberatelyprovoke the Muslims inIndia.'Setalvad must be perverse tolabel karsevaks returning from

Ayodhya as those 'indulging inblatant and unlawful

mobilisation'. But that is allone has come to expect fromthe likes of such women andmen.

11 Concentrationof Riots All over India Only one state --Gujarat

12 Conviction None , all are acquitted includingFormer Ministers who leadattackers

Trials are going and somewere convicted

13 Secularists/Communistsbehaviors

Silent on Sikh riots byCOALITION AGAINSTGENOCIDE, which became

synonymous to Hindu hatingleftist front in USA. Didn'tcondemn Rajive Gandhi evenafter final report was made

public

Distorted facts anddemonizing BJP leaders andNarendra Modi

14 Congress/BJPleadersbehavior

1. Ex-PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee

risked his life to save Sikh nearhis home from Congress thugs.2. Congress leaders like JagdishTitler, Sajjan Kumar and HLKBhagat lead the congress mob.

Not a single congress leader

came forward to quell theviolence. In some casesCongress Leaders and workerstook part in riots.
