The above words from the footsoldiers of the Sangh Parivar in Gujarat captured in the spy camera of the Tehelka, exposesthe cruelty and inhumanity with which innocent Muslim minorities were killed during the communal pogrom in 2002. The Tehelkaexpose has also confirmed what was always known, that the 2002 violence in Gujarat was a State-sponsored one. The Chief MinisterNarendra Modi and his government were fully responsible for this gross violation of human rights and subversion of the Constitution.This comes out clearly from the statements of the murderers of Gujarat themselves: "If I didn't have Narendrabhai's support, wewould not have been able to avenge Godhra...because the police was standing right in front of us, seeing all that washappening, but they had shut their eyes and mouths...We had good support from the police...because of Narendrabhai"The gut-wrenching revelations of the pre-planned and cold-blooded massacres of children, women and men and the collusionof the Chief Minister, other Ministers of the BJP government as well as senior police officials in the mayhem which continued for threedays in March 2002, is a reminder of the threat thc:Jt communalism poses to the people of our country in general and minorities inparticular. It is a matter of national shame that these communal killers of the RSS-VHP-Bajrang Dal, far from being prosecuted forthese inhuman crimes are roaming scot-free, due to the immunity provided to them by the Narendra Modi government. The public.
prosecutors, who are supposed to argue against the offenders in court, have turned out to be RSS hacks, busy in sabotaging the.
cases by bribing and intimidating witnesses and ·managing" the judiciary. One of the public prosecutors captured in the spy cameraeven said that among the judges heading the ongoing judicial probe into the Gujarat riots, Justice Nanavati is trying to make moneywhile Justice Shah is favourably disposed towards the rioters. All this raises fundamental questions regarding the fate of the riot casesand justice for the victims.The Supreme Court, which has taken upon itself the responsibility of passing judgements on everything under the sun, fromhow to tame monkeys in the National Capital to strikes and demonstrations by common people, should deeply introspect about the rotthat has set in the criminal justice system in the country. Not only have communal riots continued to occur in India post-Gujarat, like inMau or Mangalore, buf the rioters are being encouraged to perpetrate mindless violence because they know the e'ase with which thecriminal justice system can be manipulated. Since the Gujarat riot cases are pending with the Supreme Court, it is imperative that asuo motu cognizance is taken of the prima facie evidence provided th~ough the Tehelka revelations and the guilty, from the BabuBajrangis to Narendra Modi and all the culpable police and judicial officers, brought to book without further delay.The UPA government, which came to office with the mandate of upholding secularism and combating communalism, cannotremain as a silent spectator. It is sickening to find Congress leaders in Gujarat trying to downplay the Tehelka expose, for the fear ofhurting majoritarian sentiments on the eve of the Gujarat assembly elections. The reason why Gujarat continues to remain as thehotbed of communal fascism in India, as was seen in the fakQ encounter of Sohrabuddin Sheikh or the attack on MS Universitystudents and teachers in Baroda, is because the Congress as the main opposition party has abandoned its COJl1,mitment towards.
secularism and democracy. Narendra Modi cannot be defeated unless the people of Gujarat are mobilized on a firmly secular platform;pandering to soft-hindutva sentiments by accommodating BJP rebels and only talking about development issues forgetting about theGujarat carnage of 2002 will not serve any purpose. The Rajiv Gandhi Foundation, which is headed by Sonia Gandhi, had selectedGujarat as the "best governed state in India" in January 2005. Such a distorted view about governance and development is alsoreflected in the UPA government's dilly-dallying over the implementation of the Sachar Committee recommendations and tabling of thePrevention of Communal Violence Bill in Parliament. The Congress leadership seems to have forgotten the severe punishment insuccessive elections following the shameful capitulation of Narasimha Rao during the demolition of the Sabri Masjid in 1992.SFI-AISF appeals to the secular and democratic minded students of JNU, who had played a historic role in the aftermath ofthe Gujarat riots in 2002, by repeatedly hitting the streets in large numbers and contributing to the isolation of the communal thugs ofthe RSS-BJP, to rise once again to lend active support to the cause of ensuring justice to the riot victims of Gujarat and punishing theculprits, including the modern day Hitler, Narendra Modi. The ABVP, which represents the communal politics of the RSS-VHP-BajrangDal in the campus and glorifies the likes of Narendra Modi, should be thoroughly isolated. It is also noteworthy that the ABVPcandidate for the Joint Secretary post in these elections was recently made out of bounds from the Lohit Hostel for physicallyassaulting a student from the minority community. The Vice-Presidential candidate of the ABVP was also made out-of-bounds fromPeriyar Hostel earlier, for indulging in violence. It is clear that the ABVP-JNU Unit has lived up to the reputation of their brethren in theSan h Parivar. Such forces should be iven a fittin rebuff. .
