Presenting you Vajpayee's "ethical" politics in three instances:

a) In one of his speeches ahead of Nellie Massacare in Assam he said, "Foreigners have come here and the govt does nothing. What if they had come into Punjab instead? People would have chopped them into pieces..1/n https://twitter.com/swarup58/status/1342319409155645441
and thrown them away! Soon after his speech violence erupted in Nellie and more than 5000 Bengali Muslims were killed in that Massacre.

b) Vajpayee spoke about leveling the ground before Babri demolition! Vajpayee said, "Sharp and pointed stones have come out...2/n
No one can sit there. The ground has to be levelled. It has to be made fit for sitting. Arrangements for a yagya will be done, so there will be some construction." The Babri Masjid was demolished the next day.

c) Vajpayee said Muslims don't like to live in co-existence...3/n
Gujarat saw one of the worst communal riots in 2002 where more than 3000 Muslims were massacred in the broad daylight. Later, at the BJP national council meet, Vajpayee said, "We should not forget how the tragedy of Gujarat started. Who lit the fire? How did fire spread?"...4/n
Vajpayee went on to say, "Wherever Muslims live, they don't like to live in co-existence with others, they don't like to mingle with others; and instead of propagating their ideas in a peaceful manner, they want to spread their faith by resorting to terror and threats...5/n
