Modi took firm steps in Gujarat: M M Joshi

Addressing a joint meeting of the Council of Foreign Relations and the Asia Society in New York, he said the Bharatiya Janata Party government, which had an unblemished record of four years, had nothing to gain from allowing the riots to continue.

The criticism against Modi was politically motivated, he said, adding that the Centre and the state government took immediate action after the trouble broke out.

Asked about continuing violence, he said these were sporadic incidents, which sometime resulted in clashes, but asserted that by and large the situation was under control.

The government, he added, was taking all measures to apprehend the elements behind the riots and create confidence among the people.
