“The Congress wants us to forget it; view it as an aberration. When they made Manmohan Singh Prime Minister, they stepped up this rhetoric; saying, ‘forget it now at least we have apologised and now made your man the Prime Minister. Our answer has been that the apology came 21 years late and under the Indian legal system an apology is not a substitute for punishment for murder. We want justice.”
- Advocate H. S. Phoolka, as quoted in today's edition of The Hindu

I agree that an apology here is only good enough if justice too is seen to be done, they can’t just sweep so many innocent lives under the carpet. The families will have no rest until justice is done.

After 25 years, some part of me still holds on to the delusion that I’ll wake up in the morning and tell my husband and son about this really weird dream I had, and they’ll laugh that we can just be grateful that it was just a bad dream.
