(6 May, 2002) - "Whatever happened in Gujarat was worth criticising and shameful. I was right when I said that this is a stain on the country (maathe pe kalank). The situation cannot be trivialised by saying that this kind of thing keeps happening in Gujarat.
'It is told that Gujarat has a riot every two years. They have curfews for many days. For many days, the law and order situation remains bad.
