What about Gujarat riots? Owaisi asks Modi

Asaduddin Owaisi reminded Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the 2002 Gujarat riots after the latter called the 1984 anti-Sikh riots a "horrendous genocide." He also tweeted, "Sir @PMOIndia so where the 2002 pogrom which happened under your tenure as CM and you failed in your constitutional oath to protect human beings."

Hyderabad: AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi slammed PM Modi for his remarks about 1984 anti-Sikh riots, a "horrendous genocide".

He advised PM Modi to remember about the 2002 Gujarat riots, before imputation on Congress for 1984 riots. In a tweet, the Member of Parliament from Hyderabad asked Modi, what would he call the Gujarat riots.

"Sir @PMOIndia so where the 2002 pogrom which happened under your tenure as CM and you failed in your constitutional oath to protect human beings." The AIMIM president pointed out that the accused in both the riots in 1984 and 2002 won the elections.

The reaction came after PM Modi slams Congress President Rahul Gandhi's advisor Sam Pitroda for his remark on the anti-Sikh riots.
On Thursday, Indian Overseas Congress chief Pitroda had courted controversy by brushing off the 1984 anti-Sikh riots by saying, "Hua toh hua" (it just happened).

Since Sam Pitroda remark on the anti-Sikh riots, PM Modi slams Congress Party several times in his election rally. On Thursday, BJP Spokesperson Sambit Patra also held a press conference to point out fingers on Sam Pitroda remarks.
