Killing innocent people (for whatever reasons) is the crime I am referring to. There was a Hindu-Muslim riot in Gujrat. Many innocent people were killed. Human rights activists blame the CM for this as in their pinion CM should have controlled these riots without loss of any life. US administration picks up a report of these activists and denies the visa to CM.

Now US administration attacks Iraq and many innocent people are killed. If US has reasons for attacking Iraq then Indian CM also has reasons. US says Iraq had WMDs and was posing a threat to the interests of US. CM says that he had taken action and controlled the riots but as the riots suddenly flared up many lives were lost. If he had not taken these actions many more lives would have been lost.

May be many Iraqi citizens are glad but here also many people are glad whose relatives were killed by Muslims by burning a train compartments full of Hindus, the inident which sparked the riots.

Now is it not adopting double standards?
