0:00Revenge was also taken from the labourer who is sitting 200 km away from Godhra.
0:04The real problem happened when Tehelka magazine
0:06Released the new video of its sting operation.
0:08He was burnt alive on the same night on the 14th at 8:00 PM in the same bakery.
0:12As the train stops here around 2000 people were waiting.
0:16National Human Rights Commission said on record
0:19That both the reports are fevering their respective parties
0:21When kar sevak were present in the whole train, and the kar sevak were to be targeted
0:30It had been 9 to 10 years since 2002 the Babri Masjid and Ram Janam Bhoomi dispute.
0:35Hindu and Muslim organizations from all over India were involved in this dispute.
0:40One such Hindu organization is Vishwa Hindu Parishad
0:43Who performed the 100-day Purnahuti Maha Yagya in Ayodhya in February 2002?
0:48And in this Yagya, many people came from all over India and people from Gujarat also reached here.
0:53Those who were coming for the yajna are called kar sevaks.
0:56Kar means hand and Sevak means one who serves
0:59kar sevak means one who wants to serve with his will.
1:02Some people also call them Ram Bhakts
1:04kar sevak came to Ayodhya from Ahmedabad by train on 22 February
1:07For the purn aahuti mahayagya
1:09On 22 February, they had to go from Ahmedabad to Ayodhya.
1:13And on the 26th they had to come from Ayodhya to Ahmedabad by Sabarmati Express.
1:16There are many events in between coming back to Ahmedabad by train.
1:21I will tell them later so that it will be easier for you to make your own opinion.
1:24kar sevak reaches Ayodhya from Ahmedabad by train
1:26Yagya ends on 25 February and
1:28The kar sevaks who have come from all over the country
1:30go back to their homes.
1:32Similarly, the kar sevaks who came from Gujarat
1:34They also take the Sabarmati train from Ayodhya to go back.
1:37On 26 February 2002 train Sabarmati Express came which was bound to Ahmedabad from Faizabad
1:42The capacity of this train was 1100 but some people stood in the train
1:46So there were about 2000 people on this train.
1:48And out of these 2000 people, 1700 were kar sevaks
1:54It is said that coaches S5 and S6 had the most kar sevaks
1:58Whatever happened inside these two coaches
2:01That later became the reason for the Gujarat riots.
2:04reports of all investigations and different committees
2:07They all revolve around S5 and S6 coaches.
2:10This train was to reach Ahmedabad but this train was late.
2:13But there is a place before Godhra, Dahod, this train reaches there at 06:30.
2:17And before moving, let me tell you one more thing.
2:19In this entire video, I will speak only about what has been said in different SIT reports.
2:24Or it is already available on the public platform
2:31After this, the train reaches Godhra
2:33There, some kar sevaks get down and buy some goods too.
2:36And as the train moves a little beyond Godhra station
2:39The train chain is pulled multiple times. This is confirmed
2:43This was also confirmed by the driver there and after the investigation
2:47It was also confirmed by all the mechanical devices.
2:51As soon as the train stopped there were already 2000 people waiting.
2:54They did not target the entire train, they targeted coaches S5 and S6
3:01Stones were thrown at coach numbers S5 and S6.
3:03attacked with a domestic weapon
3:05The windows and doors of these two coaches are closed by the kar sevaks.
3:08and then it catches fire, by the time the fire brigade arrives
3:1159 people die in that coach
3:14There were 22 males, 27 females and 10 children.
3:17After this, the train reaches Ahmedabad at 4.30 with the same burnt bodies as it is.
3:25S6 and S5 caught fire
3:27But no one understood why coaches S5 and S6 caught fire.
3:31Everyone was confused, after this
3:32VHP leaders kept these bodies in an open vehicle
3:35And took out the dead bodies from the city and took them to the VHP office.
3:39When they were taken from the city, it was live telecasting.
3:42slogans were being raised after seeing these bodies the whole of Ahmedabad was shocked.
3:47Then people came to know what happened
3:49And this thing started getting out of control.
3:51After this, the VHP leaders took the bodies to 16 hospitals.
3:54After seeing these bodies all the Hindu organizations such as VHP
3:57Bajrang dal, RSS and their leaders also became very angry.
4:01And all these people started gathering near 16 hospitals.
4:04PCR van was parked near these 16 civil hospitals which informed the control room
4:08The situation may get worse.
4:10The way people are assembling by buses
4:13The situation may get out of control
4:15And after performing normal formalities these dead bodies were gradually taken
4:19to the cremation ground by different routes. Slogans were raised on the roads through
4:22Which bodies were being carried and things were getting out of hand in those areas.
4:30And worse things happened than you can imagine
4:33At that time there were not so many
4:35restrictions on news channels and this caused more trouble. Reporters while doing ground
4:46Find areas where there were no police and live telecast also caused one more trouble
4:51The entire information was reaching the whole of Gujarat.
4:53Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Godhra
4:56Baroda, Surat riots are going on everywhere
4:59For 3 days, the riots continued in Gujarat. 790 Muslims
5:03and 254 Hindus lost their lives
5:05And in Godhra, 59 people had already died.
5:08This is the official figure, the unofficial figure is more than that.
5:12On February 27, there were riots everywhere.
5:14Things got out of hand on 28 February when
5:17Naroda Patiya reaches Naroda village.
5:20There was a Gulberg Society in Chamanpura Ahmedabad
5:23Where Muslims were the majority and Congress MP Ehsaan Jafri also lived here.
5:28There were 29 bungalows and 10 apartments in this society Upper middle-class business families lived there.
5:34On 28 February at 9 am
5:36The crowd start gathering near the society
5:38and slogans are raised.
5:40The people of the society get scared seeing this and call the police back to back.
5:43No one comes from the side of the police after that
5:45people also reach out to congress MP Ehsan Jafri for help
5:48Ehsan also calls the police, chief police and the leaders for help
5:53But there's no help.
5:54And the crowd starts entering the society.
5:58And houses are set on fire
6:00Along with Ehsan who was Congress MP, 69 people have lost their lives.
6:05All the houses are damaged and 18 houses are completely burnt
6:10Except for one family out of these 18 families, no one has returned to this society to date.
6:15In October 2017
6:17Aaj Tak news channel published footage of Tehelka's sting operation
6:21It has 14 VHP and Bajrang Dal activists including ruling government MLA
6:25Were discussing how they have done that
6:28After the SIT discussion in 2016 11 people were sentenced to life imprisonment.
6:33On the same day one of the biggest incidents of the Gujarat riots. Naroda Patiya of Ahmedabad
6:37And next to it is the village Naroda which lasts over 10 hours
6:42And this one event has the highest number of deaths.
6:45When Gujarat shut down a crowd of 5000 attacked Naroda Patiya to take revenge.
6:50It seemed that someone was trying to start riots between Hindus and Muslims
6:54under proper planning.
6:56A crowd of 5000 starts attacking from 9:00 am
6:59And the attack lasts for 10 hours.
7:01Everything was burnt with an LPG cylinder. People were brought outside the house and killed.
7:06Where the weapons came to the mob, is a mystery to date.
7:09Even the big investigation team could not find out this to date
7:12Where did these people get weapons from?
7:15The houses were burnt, and women were assaulted
7:21The mastermind of the whole incident was Babu Bajrangi His sting operation was done by Tehelka.
7:25And publish the video
7:31That the government fully supported him in fact police were also present there
7:35They also supported him and said that there are many dead bodies, and it will be very difficult to manage them.
7:40separate the bodies.
7:41And later on, Babu Bajrangi gets life imprisonment.
7:44But what he was saying in the video could not be confirmed in court.
7:47To be honest, nothing has been confirmed in the court.
7:50Based on theories whose names came in these theories,
7:52All of them had to be released due to a lack of evidence. You must have heard the name of
7:57Maya Kodnani a lot. It's a very famous name. She was given a punishment for 28 years
8:01for organizing the whole event. Her name came and due to lack of evidence, she was released
8:06After the incidents of Naroda patiya, Maya Kodnani won by huge votes
8:10And she was also made a cabinet minister
8:13But due to this case, she had to leave this position.
8:16Next day on 1st March Hanuman Tekri is an area in Vadodara
8:19There used to be a bakery by the name Best Bakery. 14 people were hiding here.
8:23Out of the 14, 11 were Muslim and three were Hindu who worked in a bakery
8:27These 14 people were burnt alive on the same night and due to lack of evidence,
8:33no one has been punished to date. When questions were asked from the government on this situation
8:38So the government said that they took all steps in their capacity, but the crowd was too much
8:43And it was a reaction to an action in which the government had no role
8:47because of the crowd
8:48Letters were also sent to call the police from Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh,
8:50where there was a Congress government but the opposition didn't help
8:56The government also said that the Chief Minister had called the SIT after reaching Godra on 27th.
9:00And curfew was also imposed near Godhra so that the situation does not get worse.
9:05At that particular time
9:06from 400 villages of Gujarat 6000, Haj pilgrims were coming back to Gujrat
9:11The Gujarat government maintains their complete security
9:13and bring them home with full security.
9:15But the thing is that when the government did so much, at that time
9:18Even after that, why are questions being asked to the government to date?
9:21From Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ji to the opposition, why it is being said that
9:25why is Rajdharma not followed?
9:26There are many reasons behind blaming the government. Sanjiv Bhatt
9:30Who was the senior police officer in the Gujarat intelligence bureau
9:33At the time of the 2002 riots, He said in the recorded statement of the court that
9:37information had started coming to him from PCR regarding the situation will get worse
9:40The dead bodies of kar sevaks should not go from the city and from different places
9:43The police were also reporting about the riots But they could do nothing.
9:47According to him, the government held a meeting in the evening in which the police chief
9:51bureaucrats and It was explained to everyone that this is a reaction to action.
9:55People's anger will subside in two-three days and everything will be fine you don't need to interrupt
10:00In a 2007 November report in Outlook magazine Haren Pandya
10:03Who was the Home Minister of Gujarat at that time he confessed
10:07He was also present in the meeting on the night of 27 February.
10:11Where government high authority was telling them not to interrupt between and later on
10:14He was murdered by an unknown person which is not known to date
10:18The team was formed to investigate the Gujarat riots and the SIT that was constituted.
10:21Many questions have also been raised about it. The Gujarat Government formed a special
10:25Investigating team for its investigation, the Nanavati committee, was asked to investigate both
10:28the Gujarat riots and the Godhra incident together and this committee was led by a
10:32retired judge of the Supreme Court G T NANAVATI
10:36Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ji was appointed at that time when the Sikh riots took place.
10:40At that time he was quite famous because
10:42He had even called former PM Narasimha Rao for questioning.
10:46But when it came to the Gujarat riots
10:48He did not call any of the government authorities for questioning.
10:51And gave a clean chit to everyone without questioning
10:54Many people questioned the government about this thing too.
10:57You have kept your close ones for investigation.
11:09This blame game was going on after that
11:10The Nanavati Commission submitted its final report of 1500 pages,
11:1345000 affidavits, and statements of thousand witnesses to the court.
11:19In which all the activists of the Gujarat Government, RSS and Bajrang Dal were given a clean chit.
11:24And it was also told in the Nanavati Investigation Report that
11:27The burning of the train in Godhra was pre-planned
11:31And the mastermind was Husain Ibrahim and Nanu Mian
11:35At that time, there was a BJP government in both the state and central places.
11:38And the Nanavati Commission's investigation was already underway.
11:41So no separate investigation was started but after 2 years in 2004
11:46When Congress's government comes to the centre after victory
11:48So the first thing that Congress does as soon as it comes to Central
11:51forms a separate committee for the investigation of the Gujarat riots
11:58And what came in the report was the same
11:59that Congress leaders were saying for the last two years.
12:02Umesh Chandra Investigation Committee said
12:04It was not a pre-plant attack but
12:06it was an accident the way the Nanavati commission was inclined toward a particular group
12:12In the same way, the Umesh Chandra Committee was formed by the Center.
12:15In that too an attempt was made to please a particular community.
12:18Many mistakes were made in the rush of elections in the same year.
12:23A common man who wants to know the truth, who should he believe?
12:25The Nanavati Commission says it was a planned attack
12:28On the other hand, Umesh Chandra's committee said that it was an accident
12:31India's top investigating officers were telling a completely different thing
12:35And see the coincidence
12:36Both the Investigation Committee put the version of their favourite leader before the court.
12:41After seeing all these things, the National Rights Commission said on record
12:45Both the reports are favoring their respective parties.
12:48which is a big mistake
12:50This has a long-term effect on society.
12:52And people's faith is reduced from law and order, both the committees were telling their versions
12:57Apart from this, an independent investigation was conducted which was named "Concerned Citizen Tribunal"
13:02There were many retired judges and activists on this committee the investment they made
13:07It was completely different from the story going on so far.
13:11The full report of this commission has been published by outlook
13:14Let me tell you as it is line by line what Outlook has published. As per the Tribunal report
13:19When kar sevak was going to Ayodhya from Gujarat only kar sevaks were on that entire train.
13:24And as soon as the train left from Ahmedabad to Ayodhya in between
13:27from Lucknow many people joint coach S5 and S6 without a ticket
13:32And as per the railway IGP minister Mr PP AGJA, something was wrong in S5 and S6 at that particular time.
13:41According to the report of the tribunal which has been published in Outlook, people who were sitting on the train
13:44They fought at many stations and this news was published by the newspapers of nearby places,
13:53But this way revenge was taken. The revenge was also taken from the labourer
13:57Who was sitting 24 km away from Godhra? What was the fault of those people?
14:01Govind Makwana whose 22-year-old boy got burnt in S6 when his body was being taken to the crematorium
14:06So there were a lot of crowds and everyone was furious. He said no to everyone with folded hands,
14:11I do not want to take any revenge. This was published by the Times of India in March 2002
14:16In this entire incident, an FIR was registered against 1500 people out of which 31 people were punished
14:22And out of those 31 people, 11 people were hanged and later on, those 11 were converted.
14:27to life imprisonment,63 people had to be released due to lack of evidence. This is the very
14:32an unfortunate incident of our history because of which many died. There is always a lesson
14:36to learn from such incidents. Such an incident should not happen again.
