Oh, and Narendra Modi didnt get a clean chit from the SIT about the Godhra massacre. Far from it. Its strange how BJP lovers seem to parrot the line that Modi got a clean chit. Here are the facts. Again, you can choose to interpret them as you wish. My sense is clean chit is not the phrase youll use at the end of it. I am borrowing here from aconspiracyofsilence.wordpress/2014/03/31/the-real-sit-facts-vs-the-modi-fied-story/ and other sources. All of this is verifiable from numerous sources. 1. The reality is not a declaration of innocence - but the SIT let the case drop because of a ‘lack of prosecutorial evidence’. And in doing so it deliberately neglected to take into account numerous depositions against Modi. 2. BJPs own Cabinet Minister, Haren Pandya who disclosed that Modi ordered police officials to refrain from stopping the Hindu backlash, was mysteriously murdered mere months after his disclosure. 3. The SIT refused to take Pandyas statement into account post his death, despite a High Court judge (Justice Hosbet Suresh) and a Supreme Court judge (Justice PB Sawant) vouching for the veracity of his testimony. 4. Sworn statements and leads offered by several senior police officers such as Sanjiv Bhatt and RB Sreekumar testifying against Modi were also deliberately ignored. 5. The former DGP of Gujarat, Sreekumar has submitted actual recordings of Modi’s Principal Secretary and Advocate General instructing him to lie to the Nanavati Commission about the riots, and multiple affidavits affirming Modi’s role in instructing police officers to allow the riots to take place. (see here: archive.tehelka/story_main11.asp?filename=ts031205Take_your_time.asp) 6. Sanjiv Bhatt himself was present at the meeting where Modi told senior officers to ‘allow the Hindus to vent their anger.’ 7. There is no dearth of prosecutorial evidence only perhaps of prosecutorial will. Two examples are the detailed evidence collected by the Concerned People’s Tribunal headed by Supreme Court Justices P B Sawant and V R Krishna Iyer that indicted Modi and also the 2007 Tehelka sting tapes, which documented confessions by Sangh Parivar activists such as Babu Bajrangi who was llater convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment, and who detailed the massacre and Modi’s role in facilitating it. 8. Ive already linked to the Tehelka sting tapes earlier - but heres one brief piece from Babu Bajrangi himself: Narendrabhai kept me at Gujarat Bhavan at Mount Abu for four and- a-half months… After that, [I did] whatever Narendrabhai told me to 9. The SIT claimed there was a lack of evidence. This was weirdly upheld by a low-level Magistrate Court in Gujarat where Magistrate Ganatra’s astounding logic was that things such as genocide and ethnic cleansing dont have relevance to Gujarat because the terms are of foreign Latin and Greek origin. In other words, Gujaratis cannot commit genocide because genocide is derived from a Latin term! Wonder if Ganatra would use the same logic to absolve Ghaznavi of his massacre because, hey, genocide and ethnic cleansing are Latin, not Arabic terms. 10. The Supreme Court itself referred to Modi and his government as ‘modern-day Neros.’ Nero, if you recall, played the fiddle while watching his citizens burn in Rome in a fire he instigated. Furthermore, the Supreme Court transferred some 2002 riot cases out of Gujarat because it did not believe that a fair trial could happen under the Modi government. And this is the fabled Gujarat governance model we should follow in the rest of India? 11. The Best Bakery case, part of the 2002 riots, had initially been tried in Gujarat courts. All the accused were acquitted after witnesses received death threats and/or bribes and suddenly turned hostile. The Supreme Court then ordered a re-trial of the case in Maharashtra, saying it had no confidence in the Modi government. The case, now free of Modi’s influence, now resulted in nine convictions as well as successful charges of perjury against hostile witnesses who were caught on tape admitting that they had been threatened by BJP officials into giving false testimony in court. These are facts. Again, some you you may see this as a clean chit. I personally see it as a very dirty chit indeed. More so, I see this as a chit I would not like to see in the rest of India again. How many more murders and massacres will we have, how many more Muslims and their sympathisers killed, and how many more such incidents will be hushed up and glossed over by the Amit Shahs of the world, now working at a national level? Is this is as bad as Tytlers and The Congress massacre of the Sikhs? Yes, and perhaps more so. Because this has the support of that bigoted organisation, RSS, of whom Modi has been a life-long loyal member. The woman-hating and Muslim-loathing khakhi chaddis have been lurking behind the scenes, waiting for years to place their puppet on the national stage. Clean chit? Perish the thought. Development? Ha ha bloody ha. Of all the things, we dont deserve a government by, for and of the khakhi chaddis. Courtesy :Mahesh Murthy
