Are these really true?

Justice U.C.Bannerjee Report considered Godhra's train fire incident as "accidental". Justice G.T.Nanavati remarked that it could have been an "act of terror".
Now Justice G.T.Nanavati commission says only few local congress leaders initiated 1984 riots against Sikhs and absolves the Congress party and the Government headed then by Rajiv Gandhi. The report seems to have asked, "How could a Prime Minister be held responsible for each and every action in a police station or a particular district in Delhi? ". In the same breath, it also finds fault with the then Home minister P.V.Narasimha Rao that he did not act decisively.
Is this really justice made to work? Or we were naïve enough to believe the media then?
Hope the media will now find time to write a few critical articles on these issues amidst their tight schedule of running around clicking and flashing gory pictures of wave and fire victims.
