Should Modi apologise for the Gujarat riots?

A court in India has found 24 people guilty of involvement in the massacres during the 2002 anti-Muslim riots. The riots were triggered by an attack on a train in Godhra, in which 60 Hindus were killed. A team of investigators, appointed by the Supreme Court, cleared Modi in 2010 of criminal liability in failing to intervene and stop the riots, but questions have been raised about the thoroughness of subsequent investigations. Modi had taken office a few months before the riots broke out, and he's been criticised for his government's handling of the violence and accused of not acting quickly enough to stop it. So should the Indian prime minister apologise? Dr Gautam Sen and Manzoor Moghul shared their views with Nihal.
