#TheCongressYears Image 1: The unforgettable Bhopal Tragedy. When Rajiv Gandhi and Arjun Singh treated human lives as trash the Gandhi family still thinks us to be.

#TheCongressYears Image 2: The 1984 #AntiSikh Riots. This is the face of a man who survived the massacre by Congress goons. The leaders who led are still in positions of power in Congress.

#TheCongressYears Image 3: The 1984 #AntiSikh Riots. Rajiv Gandhi, on whose name, half the country is named famously said..when a big tree falls, earth shakes. My country failed the bravest of the kind it has produced till date. (Picture added to thread by @AbhinavAgarwal )

#TheCongressYears Image 4: The #NellieMassacre The massacre claimed the lives of 2,191 people (Muslims) (unofficial figures run at more than 10,000) from 14 villages of Nagaon district in Assam.

#TheCongressYears Image 5: The #Energency by the Smt. Indira Gandhi. This image shows the resolution every Indian had in face of the torture the lady subjected India to. And yet, imagine being a family who lost everything then to see full page adds equating her to god.

#TheCongressYears Image 6: The Emergency. She and her son jailed hundreds, made 1000s disappear, forced vasectomy on lakhs and razed thousand of homes. Look at this picture and think, why Congress named the housing scheme as Indira Awas Yojna. Mocking us.

#TheCongressYears Image 7: The 1993 Bomb Blasts: 257 people died in one of India's worst terrorist attacks. Imagine, there was a bus in this picture. The bus was not empty.

#TheCongressYears Image 8: The Hashimpura Massacre (1987): 47 Muslim Youths were killed in cold blood. Been 31 years since then. No justice. No action. Guess who is fighting the case for justice now? Subramanium Swamy.

#TheCongressYears Image 9: The Genocide that wasnt. The undocumented exodus of Kashmiri Pandits and the indifference of State towards it. Refugees in their own country, they were subjected to conditions worst than conentration camps

#TheCongressYears Image 10: Bhagalpur Riots: A peaceful possession going to Ayodhya was attached with bombs and bottles. Official sources put the death toll at around 1,000. Others sources say nearly 2,000 were killed.

#TheCongressYears Image 11: The Shah Bano tragedy: The might of Indian state was held hostage by few radical Islamic dolts led by Salman Khurshid. The rights of a Muslim women were restroted back to stone age. Thanks to Rajiv Gandhi who reversed the proessive finding of SC.

#TheCongressYears 11 for today folks. Few tomorrow and we will keep it alive. Thanks.

#TheCongressYears And trust me, this thread is only painful for me. I find no joy or comfort in positing about the troubled past we have had. But #LestWeForget the tyranny of Congress and selective bigotry of liberals.

#TheCongressYears 1989 Bhagalpur Riots. People were killed in scores. The state and the politicians stayed quite. They share pictures from Syria because Bihar is too far. (Image 10, as pointed out by few, was from.direct action day). This image is from Jansatta (IE)

#TheCongressYears 2012: The Lathi Charge on students demanding justice for Nirbhaya. The government went overboard to do everything it could-to show the might of the state. And Nirbhaya was forgotten.

#TheCongressYears 2011: While the Raza Academy ran unbated in Mumbai destroying everything, peaceful protest of @yogrishiramdev was disbursed through excessive force in the night. Someone died that day. Who cares?

#TheCongressYears : Images 15 & 16: The Azad Maidan Riots: 2 Killed, 45 policemen injured and more than 7 lady constables molested. And what happened after that? Nothing. To please the local clerics, no action was taken.

#TheCongressYears: Image 17: 1987-1989: IPKF in Sri Lanka. The war that wasn't ours. Rajiv Gandhi, in his experiment with lives of Indian troops, sent our boys to a shadowy conflict with no front lines. (1200 Indian martyrs) (Time, Oct 26, 1987)
