At a protest meeting organised by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) in front of Mini Vidhana Soudha against the Murshidabad riots, VHP leader Narsimha Mani glorified the 2002 Godhra violence and incited nationwide violence against Muslims.
He said, “The entire Muslim – dominated area was sealed off, and from night till morning, they were burned. The Godhra massacre was carried out properly — this is the power of the Hindu community. This should be repeated across the entire country. You may file cases against us when we speak about Godhra; we have no problem with that.”
