I would strongly condemn yesterday's comments on Narendra Modi being mass murderer by Anna's Team member Sanjay Singh. He must look at the worst than Godhra riots that happened in Delhi following assassination of Late Indira Gandhi led by Rajiv Gandhi and his spoons.

Anna's current movement is against gross corruption being nourished under Congress regime and not against Narendra Modi. Should Anna'a historic movement fail or remain unsuccessful and hijacked, it would be none other than Anna's Team members creating animosity among political class and other sections of public from all walks of life by making scandalous and abusive remarks and propagating irrelevant criticism of developmental political leaders.

First and foremost, all victims of crime should have their status recognized by the state. Such recognition should be forthcoming whether or not alleged perpetrators are identified or arrested. Human rights standards demand that victims be treated with compassion and with respect for their human dignity throughout the criminal justice process, and that no group or category of victims should suffer from discrimination. Victims of crime should be able to have access to and participate in the criminal justice system through procedures that provide them with information, notice, and an opportunity to be heard without prejudice to the rights of the accused. Human rights standards recognize that victims should be protected and assisted in all appropriate instances, and they should have access to specialized help in dealing with emotional trauma and other hardships caused by their victimization.
