Rahul says that 2002 Gujarat riots and 1984 anti-Sikh riots are different.. #Rahul-vs-Arnab. Elaborating, he says that although innocent people died in 1984 riots, something which should not have happened, the Congress government was trying to stop it. The opposite happened in Gujarat in 2002, where the state government was allowing the riots to take place. #Rahul-vs-Arnab
