To the idiotic dumb Ghetas of Dai who are made to believe that Bohras were not targeted during 2002 due to the so called dua, barkat and azeem shaan of their Dai, herein below is an article from Times of India which appeared in 2002 which gives a synopsis of what happened in ONE city alone !! There are numerous such instances of Bohras being attacked, looted and their establishments burnt in the ENTIRE Gujarat :-
BJP and Modi let us down, say Bohras
Rajkot: The peace-loving and trading community of bohras in Rajkot believe that they have all the reasons to be unhappy with the ruling BJP and the Chief Minister Narendra Modi whom they voted for just a week before riots erupted. "we have given everything that the BJP and Modi demanded for during the electioneering and yet this is what they gave us in return" was the common refrain when this correspondent talked to a cross section of the community.
As many as 200 shops and 20 houses were destroyed by mobs in the aftermath of the Godhra tragedy. It is also no secret by now that a senior BJP leader from the city who was spearheading the election campaign of Modi, in close co-ordination with the RSS had systematically targeted the community, their trading houses and homes.
"It was neither by default nor mob fury. It was a systematically orchestrated plan to inflict injury on the community" said a senior Bohra community leader wishing anonymity for obvious reasons. He said the BJP leader constantly contacted the RSS cadre in the city through mobile phones and instructed on the next target for mob fury. Even a BJP leader confirmed this act and remarked
"things are beyond our control. the remote control is somewhere else ."
The community, virtually living in fear, are keeping a low profile.
Ammel saheb Kauserali at the Noor Masjid in the old Rajkot area told TNN "The loss to our business is running into crores." The head of Dawoodi Bohra community Syedna saheb declined to comment on any controversial issue, but said "let allah give them sense. why punish innocent people? instead punish those who perpetrated the crime."
When asked what would be their next step, Kauserali said "Ask for dua for peace and tranquillity. We allowed the BJP to organise a meeting and Congress was also allowed to express their views. while no fiat was issued, the final voting decision was left to individuals."
Ameel saheb was, however, critical of the role of the Police Commissioner Upendra Singh, who "failed to act in time that could have saved some property and houses."
However, some other members of the community were more forthcoming.
"we have been wronged for no fault of ours and despite the fact that the community stood solidly behind Modi, he failed to stand by us in our times of crisis." The community members do not rule out the involvement of "someone from within" in the attacks. a community leader said "otherwise,
how was it possible that shops even without a signboard were looted? It is amply clear that someone from within the community was guiding the mobs." When contacted, BJP leader Vijay Rupani said "the riots which spread like wildfire after 4 pm could be the handiwork of unknown people." Defending the acts of the VHP, Rupani said that "it could be that the bohras were targeted as their names and surnames were similar to the ones of the Muslim community."
