Man remains man

It is really coincidence that the statement made by Gujarat Chief Minister Mr. Narender Modi in 2002, " Muslims be taught a lesson to ensure that such incidents do not recur ever again" and the one attributed to our late Prime Minister Mr. Rajiv Gandhi in 1984 just after the Sikh riots has same tone and texture. Does it not prove that man remains man whether in BJP or Congress? His sense of belongingness to the community to which he is born takes precedence over his constitutional responsibilities and human approach when put to test.
