During Gujarat riots, VHP targeted and killed my father-in-law, the former M.P. Ahsan Jafri, just becausehe was a Muslim. Ahsan Jafri was neither a terrorist, nor a fundamentalist, nor even an antinational. Heserved his country and its citizens, regardless of their ethnic background, race, or religion, for 50 yearswith pride and distinction. His poems full of strong nationalism and his teachings constant with human valuesand communal tolerance are a testimony to his deep roots in the Indian culture and respect for all faiths,which those who targeted and killed him did not understand or appreciate. Of course, Jafri family did notblame the entire Hindu society for killing their loved one. Because they know that a few bad elements of asociety do not represent the entire society.
