JASWANT SINGH'S EPULSION FROM BJP


Expulsion of Jaswant Singh from BJP shows that how much we have became intolerable toward different and difficult views.A society progress with debate ,conflict ,different views not with just uniformity of opinions .Jaswant Singh has the whole right to express his opinion ,he never says that this is his party's views .So BJP must not take the decision to expel him.This is like that no one can criticise no one -the true autocratic situation. In congress you can't criticise Nehru- Gandhi family, in BJP you can't praise Jinnah,or senior leadership.Just accept everything as it is.If this is the situation then where is democracy.J L Nehru himself said that in democracy one must have the ability to tolerate opponent's view, which we are loosing very fastly and in its place CHAMCHAGIRI is becoming very popular.Media should also not blow this out of propotion.Different views of a person is very important for the development of mind ,one must try to think at a subject from different angles.Anybody in politics is for power purpose not for charity purpose either it be Jinnah or J L Nehru. No one is holy cow but we must try to look at them from different angles not in a black-white manner.Jinnah may be the symbol of Hindu-Muslim unity but he was also the person who demanded for Pakistan- a separate nation for muslims. What might be the reasons for which Nehru agreed to have partition and at the same time promised that muslims in India will remain safe.This shows the complexity of human beings's complex decision making nature and admiration for power.This must be look in a different manner. And I think Jaswant Singh only tried to do that.He should not be expelled at least for expressing his views.You may agree with him or you may not.About his view on Patel many people may not vouch for his idea but at least can hear it for sake of hearing

ISHRAT JAHAN FAKE ENCOUNTER


In yet another major setback to the Narendra Modi government in Gujarat, Ahmedabad metropolitan magistrate S.P. Tamang, has ruled that the incident in which Ishrat Jahan and three others were killed in June, 2004, was yet another case of “fake encounter.”
In his 243-page hand written report on the encounter, Mr. Tamang has named the then “encounter specialist” of the Gujarat police, D.G. Vanzara, and others as accused in the “cold blooded murder” of the teenaged girl and three others.
Mr. Vanzara and several other policemen are already in jail in connection with the Sohrabuddin case which the State government confessed before the Supreme Court was a case of “fake encounter.”
A special three-member team of top police officers of the State appointed by the Gujarat High Court for a fresh investigation into the Ishrat Jahan encounter is seized of the matter.
Claiming that Ishrat and three others were killed in fake encounter by the police officers for their personal interests, get promotions and gain appreciations from the Chief Minister, Mr Tamang appended a list of top police officers running into about two pages who he held responsible for the fake encounter. Besides Mr Vanzara and his then deputy in the Crime Branch police, N. K. Amin, who along with Mr Vanzara was also arrested in the Sohrabuddin fake encounter case, the list includes the then Ahmedabad police commissioner, K. R. Kaushik, the then chief of the Crime Branch, P. P. Pandey, another alleged encounter specialist Tarun Barot and a host of other senior police officers.
Mr Tamang’s report said the Crime Branch police “kidnapped” Ishrat and three others from Mumbai on June 12 and brought them to Ahmedabad. The four were killed on the night of June 14 in police custody, but the police claimed that an “encounter” took place on the morning of June 15 near Kotarpur water works on the outskirts of Ahmedabad. The rigor mortis that had set in clearly indicated that Ishrat died between 11 p.m. and 12 midnight the previous night and the police apparently pumped bullets into her body to substantiate the encounter theory.
It said the explosives, rifles, and other weapons allegedly found in their car were all “planted” by the police after the encounter.
The police had then claimed that Ishrat, a resident of Mumbra near Mumbai, and three others — Javed Sheikh, a convert son of Gopinath Pillai of Kerala and two Pakistani citizens Amzad Ali Rana and Jishan Jauhar — were connected with Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba, and were coming to Gujarat to assassinate Mr. Modi to avenge the 2002 communal riots.
