Wide spread allegations about Nrendra Modi are: Modi had given a free hand to extremists to go on a killing spree which lasted for several days/weeks and the army was called only after 3 full days.

Guru Prasad cites the news reports of The Hindu - 4 in numbers - to refute the above allegations and draws the following conclusions:

-Train was burnt on Feb 27th, 2002.
-Riots started on Feb 28th.
-Army was called on Feb 28th itself within hours.
-Army began flag marches on the next day
i.e March 1st (Feb in 2002 had 28 days)
-By March 3rd, riots were under control
.


Special Investigation Team appointed by Supreme Court had given Modi a clean chit stating that apart from calling the army immediately, Modi had deployed special police forces - Rapid Action Task Force. From this, it is quite evident that the riot was in control within 72 hours.
