New Delhi: Firing a salvo at Amitabh Bachchan, Congress today asked whether he endorses Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi's "role" in the 2002 "pogrom" or condemns it.
"Does he (Amitabh) condemn the role of Narendra Modi in the 2002 Gujarat pogrom of 2002 or he endorses it?...What does he say about the Gujarat massacre and fake encounters that took place since Modi took over," Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari asked at a briefing here.
His salvo at the brand ambassador of Gujarat came after Modi hit out at Congress, saying those opposing Bachchan were "taliban of untouchability".
Tewari said "if he (Bachchan) is sensible and right-thinking, he will come out strongly against it (the riots)."
He said Bachchan "should not build the Chinese Wall between Modi and the sands of Rann of Kutch by justifying" brand ambassadorship of Gujarat.

The Congress is assuming Modi’s role in the Gujarat riots was negative. Actually Modi's actions ensured that the riots were quickly brought under control and therefore his role is a positive one. Therefore everyone who is not prejudiced would endorse Modi's role. We have to remember that Modi or the Hindus did not start the riots. The riots were a backlash against Muslims for burning 59 Hindu pilgrims in a train bogey. It would have been a larger catastrophe and would have spread all over India but for Modi’s timely actions.
