Irani admitted she gave an unconditional apology saying: "The party leadership told me not to become a victim of propaganda, and advised me if I consider something to be the truth, then I should stand by it. It was Narendrabhai's greatness that he did not take my statement wrongly and finally the courts acquitted him. I thank him for his largeheartedness."
Irani said, during the 2002 riots nearly 5,000 Muslims were sheltered in Ahmedabad's Noorani mosque by the administration, but during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, the Congress government did not try to protect Sikhs in a single gurdwara.
