Here is the relevent paragraph from the article, ‘Judge me from my performance’, says Prime Minister ':

Quote:
He [Prime Minister Manmohan Singh] also said, the tragic issue of 1984 riots cannot be kept alive for always as those who were raking it up were only trying to get political mileage out of it.
I must respond:

Why, thank you for clarifying that, Mr. Prime Minister. I had thought that
the other survivors as well as myself were trying to obtain justice and
proper respect for our shaheed sons, brothers, fathers, uncles, and
daughters, sisters, mothers and aunts and all the others sacrificed by the
mobs on the altars of Indira and Rajiv.

Mr. Prime Minister, pray tell, what "political mileage" does a Canadian
grandmother get from reliving these painful memories on a daily basis?

Mr. Prime Minister, whether you like it or not, you will be judged by your
words, as well as your actions.

Mr. Prime Minister, I believe you owe us a big apology.
