As Chief Minister of the state of Gujarat and a leader of the fascistic Hindu-right BJP party, Modi presided over the 2002 Gujarat massacre, a state-sponsored paramilitary assault on the Muslim population of Ahmedabad led by Hindu-right organizations. Two thousand were killed, tens of thousands maimed, hundreds raped or sexually tortured, and as many as 100,000 made homeless.
What the Butcher of Gujrat did were indeed Crimes against Humanity, he deserves to be punished and thrown out from active politics in India, leave alone being the CM of Gujrat.
