Dear Anand Gangoli

You have been on this list for at least 5 years since Gen VK Singh's DoB controversy arose and your brother officer added your email

You are right. I have not seen the earlier mail stressing the point. It is possible that I was not on the circulation list earlier. But now that I have somehow come on the circulation list, I feel I am entitled to have my say.

Earlier contributors  have rightly expressed deep anguish towards the loss of life and property resulting from the riots related to the opposition to CAA. Clearly there have been excesses from both sides. There is no doubt that in retrospect we can suggest many ways in which the government and the police could have responded to the problem and minimised the damage. But the fact remains that it was the opposition to CAA that was the primary  cause of the riots/ loss of life and damage to public and private property. Considering what the CAA specifically  says, was such violent opposition justified or was it politically motivated? What exactly are the provisions of that CAA that would justify such violence? Those opposing the CAA must be specific rather than make vague allegations about the act being communal and anti Muslim.
