Qutubuddin Ansari, the face of the Gujarat riots, has retruned home. Seemingly consoled by the fact that NDA is no longer in power and that the BJP is considerably weakened in the state.

Ansari, the Ahmedabad tailor who pleaded with rioters with folded hands during the Gujrat riots, was given shelter in Kolkata by the West Bengal government. Ansari came to the city on August 9 last year with wife Tahera, son Zeeshan and daughter Rukaiya and settled at Topsiya in south Kolkata. The state government gave him a house and a tailoring shop at Tiljala.
