The most disingenuous ppl right now are those who are deliberately calling Kejriwal complicit in this pogrom, and building this narrative for posterity.
Anger against his slow response is one thing, lying is totally another.
Best stick to facts, else you lose credibility.

And pls don't use "ppl are angry with Kejriwal, they feel betrayed, and are therefore venting" as an excuse to peddle lies.
There is NO excuse to peddle lies.
Call him out for his inadequate response. Fair.
Call him complicit, or a perpetrator. Grossly unfair.

And you KNOW it.

It's important we stick to facts. Once a narrative is created, it will stick - for generations.
Powerful ppl can easily create the narrative they want.
We owe it to the truth that it be recorded faithfully, and be passed on to future generations.

Making a generic observation.

We're all human, we have biases. And we do get emotional. I do too.
But if we allow our biases to cloud our reasoning and judgment, we run the risk of being unfair to someone, just cos we don't like him. Or supporting someone who has done wrong.
Human failings - but wrong.

It always makes sense to factor in the power dynamics of the parties involved. To ignore sth as glaring as this, is, in itself, a kind of injustice.
This is one of my pet peeves against Indian judges who don't do enough of this.
Consider facts, consider power dynamics, both.
