Govt acted quickly to control communal flare up: Modi

Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday night rejected the charge that the state administration had not acted promptly to check communal riots after the Godhra massacre and said the violence was controlled within 72 hours.

"The fact is that I had given orders to the home and police departments on the night of the Godhra incident to make arrangements to control any flare up," he told 'Star TV'.

Maintaining that over 100 people were killed in police firing and over 4000 arrested, Modi said he had appealed to the people not to take the law into their own hands and help the state administration maintain order.

He termed as 'wrong' allegation that the state machinery did not act quickly to control the frenzy.
