The expose on Gujarat!

Come election times and all the politicians go crazy, big time. Gujarat is no exception, Gujarat which had seen some rather ugly communalistic episodes had been slowly recovering. Now, it is time for the elections in Gujarat and accusations are flying thick and fast. These accusations all concern one major political party and one man in particular, Chief Minister Narendra Modi. Thelka which had carried out a sting against the Modi group had claimed that the ruling party at that time which was Narendera modi and the BJP were by and large, responsible for the attack on a certain community. These are the people who were in certain positions of power and they had not done much to stop the riots and what is shocking is that in certain cases they had even made available weapons to the rioters.
As to whether the accusations are true or not, it is sad to see that the Fourth estate become a tool of the politicians. This is the time of the elections and as such any news of this kind which is bound to disturb the communal peace and harmony and thereby disrupt the Democratic election process, should have never been aired at such a time. I think that serious action should be taken against the agency behind the sting operation. It is important that the persons who were guilty of rioting should be punished but most certainly not at the cost of the election! Furthermore, the so called sting just aired hearsay's of certain people and contained no proof of any kind. It seems that the sting operation was almost designed to throw the election off the track. Serious action should indeed be taken against the people behind the sting operation as any one would know that any time an election is scheduled to take place, almost anything can happen and it seems that is about to happen now in Gujarat!
