Anti Terror Bill of Gujarat.

Dear Sir,

Rightly rejected the Gujarat Control of Terrorism and Organised Crime (GUJCOC) bill by the President of India, which was prepared on the line of POTA, TADA. President did not endorsed the law and returned back to the Gujarat Government. In fact, BJP is always advocating such types of draconian laws, which is misused very badly and the victims of such types of legislation are the Muslims and not Hindus.  Modi Government of Gujarat is always remains forward to suppress the livelihood of Muslims. 

President has rightly returned the eight-year-old Bill to Gujarat, as the state government had not made amendments in certain clauses, which was proposed and suggested by the Union Cabinet in the said legislation in 2009. The center’s objection was on some provisions of the Bill, include Clause 16, which allows admissibility of confessional statements of accused before a police officer during trial and Clause 20 which says that no accused of an offense punishable under the proposed legislation will be released on bail if the prosecutor opposes it.

There is no terror bill in Gujarat but still Hitler Modi destroyed very badly to the youth power of Muslims.  There are at least 25 to 30 encounters take place in Gujarat after 2002 communal riots, interestingly all encounters are fake and 90% deceased are Muslim youths.  In every encounter, the same fabricated story the deceased was the terrorists of LeT or JeM and were on the mission to kill Hitler and Paravin Togadia the Master Mind of Hindu terrorist Organisation VHP.  If GUJCOC would have passed, think how Modi would have destroyed the Muslim youth.

Some facts should bring on record as far as discrimination faced by the Muslims in Gujarat by the Judicial system.  Special court on March 01, 2011 Tuesday pronounced the death penalty for 11 convicted in the Godhra train burning case and handed down life sentence to 20 others.

Special judge P R Patel considering the case as "rarest of rare" pronounced death penalty for 11 out of the 31 convicted in the case while 20 others were sentenced to life imprisonment.  Still Gujarat Government was not satisfied with the verdict and challenged a trial court's decision to acquittal of 61 persons in the Godhra train burning case in Gujarat High Court and sought death sentences for 20 convicts who awarded life imprisonment in the case. An appeal challenging the trial court's verdict in the case was filed in the high court.  

On the other hand on 07 March 2012 at Ahmadabad 6 Hindus acquitted by the court, due to poor investigation by the police in a 2002 riots-related case. One Firoz and his mother Hamida Banu were burnt alive by six Hindu hooligans when the two were on their way towards Rakhial Crossroads on April 21, 2002. The victims were on a motorcycle when the duo was intercepted by a mob near Parmanand's Chawl in Gomtipur area. The accused pore petrol on mother & son torched on road in broad daylight. However, the police failed to produce the case in proper manner which resulted them acquittal.  Not a single culprit has been punished for the communal riots 2002.

It is very ironical in communal riots innocent Muslims set on fire, but the culprits are acquitted due to the poor case filed by the police. In other hand the innocent Muslims have been arrested by the police on the false charges of Terrorism with strong case registered against them and they are still in Jails, or in some cases awarded with death penalty, where we are going, is it justice.

A large number of innocent young Muslims are being victimised by the police on the charge of being involved in various terrorist acts the Human Rights Commissions which should have taken cognizance of such violation of human rights have been treating this with casual indifference.” This was the central concern expressed in ‘What it Means to be a Muslim in India Today’, a report on two public tribunals held in the country during the past three years on discrimination against minorities.

After that all, Mr. Modi started observing the fast for Sadbhavana.  Question is, what is the use of Sadbhavana without any result. Mr. Modi wrote an open letter to the people of the Nation and Gujarat and dedicated his fast to the society and basically aims for the unity, harmony and brotherhood.  Is it possible for the Muslims of Gujarat to forget the horrible communal riots.

a.  Do the Muslims of Gujarat forget the deaths of uncountable youths?

b.  Do the Muslims of Gujarat can forget the death of every member of the family?

c.  Do the Muslims of Gujarat forget the only bread earner of the family who lost his life in the communal riot? 

d. Do the Muslims of Gujarat forget the chastity of their sisters and daughters? 

e. Do the Muslims of Gujarat forget the worship places, which had been vandalised in the communal riots?

Mr. Modi sent out the first signal of his willingness to reach out to the minorities.  Merely observing fast in the Air conditioned Room with all facilities is not enough. If at all Modi is repenting for whatever goes wrong in the year 2002 and he indeed want to win the hearts of the Muslims across India, let come out with some concrete solutions.

1.   Punish all the culprits involved in the horrible communal riots in Gujarat in the year 2002. Babu Bajrangi, Jaydeep Patel, Maya Kodnani et al, including all the police personnel and bureaucrats.

2. Compensate and rehabilitate the uprooted families with his personal pocket and state fund.

3. Appoint any member of the family in Government Job. Police, Administration, Judicial service.

4   Rebuilt all the worship structure razed during the communal violence.

5. Pass a bill to reserve 20% Muslims in Gujarat assembly and in Government jobs.

6.   Educate Muslim youths.

7.   Pass communal violence bill in Gujarat.

Can Modi deal with these all questions appropriately?  Merely fasting and speaking sweet with no result is not enough there should be some concrete solution, if Modi is sincere in his effort and indeed want to repent for his misdeeds remove the communal monster from Gujarat.  If he is not; then; Mr. Modi you cannot win the hearts of the aggrieved Muslims and Muslims of India. Still Gujarat is the hub of communal minded people. It will take long time to remove the seed of communalism from Gujarat but efforts should be with positive intention and not with an intention to get political mileage.

If Mr. Modi deals appropriately even the first four points as stated above then he can able to win the hearts of the Muslims unless his fasting is looking more politically motivated and home work for the election.

It is prayed: 

1.    GUJCOC bill should not allow to pass by the centre in future, it is surely misused on the Moslems only.

2.   Any other relief as deem fit and proper.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,
