Modi says he has nothing to apologise for


New Delhi: Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi has said he has nothing to apologise vis-À-vis the Godhra riots.
“I have nothing to apologise for,” he said in an interview to a news channel.
Defending himself against allegations of being callous to the plight of Gujarat after the post-Godhra riots, he said, “why are you being generous? Do not forgive Narendra Modi, if he has done anything wrong. Hang him publicly if you find him guilty.”
Throwing down the gauntlet at the Congress-led government, he said: “nobody will be happier than the government at the Centre to see Modi in a tight spot. So why haven’t they acted against me.”
The Chief Minister attacked the media for its “uni-dimensional” view of him, the channel said in a release.
On the release of terrorists during the Kandahar plane hijack, he said, “why was the Congress silent then? They should be put in the dock over their silence. There was an all party meeting and that party too attended it. There was a consensus on the issue.”
