Gujarat govt moves bill seeking death penalty for hooch-makers
By our correspondent
Gandhinagar, DeshGujarat, 15 July, 2009
The government of Gujarat has moved a bill, seeking penal action upto ‘death penalty’ for those convicted in spurious liquor cases. The bill also calls for a punishment upto life imprisonment for bootleggers.
The other proposals in the bill seek punishment of upto 10 years for the makers of illicit liquor, persons responsible for its transportation, those who stock such liquor and those involved in its sale. In no case, the punishment would be less than seven years.
Also, the proposed amendment in the law include the provision that police officers and other officials concerned are liable for punishment for up to one year for negligence in discharging their duties.
The government has taken this decision in the backdrop of recent illicit liquor tragedy in the state that killed 142 poor slum dwellers.
Sources say, the law will be passed within three days.

Why doesn’t Gujarat Government pass a law for death penalty for polluting our fresh water Mother rivers?
Does the government does not believe that the poison from pollution kills innocent lives? Isn’t that a crime of mass proportion?
Isn’t that an act of terrorism against Bhaarateeyans by the commercial jihadis?
In vapi-Ankleshwar belt the criminal industries are openly throwing all kinds of deadliest poisons into our Mother rivers for cheap unethical profits, and our people are dying a slow death, and Gujarat Govt. only writes love letters to the industrialists in a repeat of goondaraj Kangress.
Why has NaMo failed completely to take on the silent terrorism rampant due to the GPCB corruption and lethargy?
Stopping pollution is really the role of the Home ministry and they have failed to save the lives of lakhs of villagers suffering from pollution in their Mother rivers allowed by the characterless corrupt elements in the Govt.
If we cannot protect and save our Mother rivers, we would cease to exist as Hindus.
The RSS and VHP also have failed miserably to stop the menace of deadly pollution, illegal liquor prevalent in poor areas and the criminal rapes of pollution on Mother River devataa.
The RSS and VHP are supposed to be the foot soldiers for the BJP Government. They need to perform their volunteering role of being ground-level eyes and ears for the BJP Government, instead they are more interested in becoming the brain of the Govt. this is totally ridiculous, and thus Sangh Parivar is fast losing its grip all over Bhaarat and slowly in Gujarat. Unity comes from following your (unique, undictated, complementary) role. There is only one organization that we all belong to, that is our Bhaaratmaa nation.

Folks, while I admire your jaagruti to support Government for seriously curbing illicit intoxication of citizens and for upholding our values and principles (to make it easier to arrest and detain illegal elements started during the goondaraj Kangress rule.
TO ALL GUJARATIS, you must know that pollution of our fresh river waters is also a killing business, and it only destroys us like the intoxicating alcohol.
Why can’t orgs like the Sunnis, and Shias, and Swaminarayans, Jains, and Bapus urge their followers, their fellow Hindu businessman/workers to stop their industrial plants from polluting our fresh water Mother rivers?
Why can’t there be a death penalty for pollution?
We have to keep our Gujarat clean at any cost, even if it means arresting the investor looking to Gujarat as a dumping ground of industrial waste. From Vapi-Ankleshwar, innocent children and citizens are suffering from rampant pollution thrown into Daman Ganga, Bhagvaan nadi, along the golden corridor. Why are we degrading the value of our life by allowing our Mother rivers to be raped and killed by the gutter industry?
When will our Gurus/Maulas guide our hard-working people to sacrifice a little laziness and a little unethical-illegal-immoral profit to produce without cleaning pollution?
When will our Government persuade our GPCB staff to sacrifice their bribes for safety of our Mother rivers and her children?
When will our farmers stop using deadly fertilizers/pesticides and resort to Hindu way of organic farming?
When will our women stop applying pollutant polycarbon chemicals on their makeups so that they can live a little longer?
Why can’t we be a little smart about overcoming bad habits of silent terrorism and resort to a religion of sustained development as found in Hindutva.

LOOKS LIKE ALL OTHER LEADERS HAD CREATED AND SUPPORTED THIS PROBLEM FOR NAMO TO TAKE CARE JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE IN 60 YEARS, SUPPLIERS, MAKERS,SELLERS AND DRINKERS ALL SHOULD BE PUNISHED. DEATH PENALTY OR LIFE TIME PRISON. TAKE ALL THEIR PROPERTY,SELL AND USE THAT MONEY TO SUPPORT FAMILIES WHO LOST A BREAD WINNER. GOVERNMENT MONEY SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR THEIR EXPENSE SINCE FAMILIES KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM OF DRINKING AND DID NOT REPORT SO THEY ARE GUILTY TOO.

@ hari,
write something new for a change! what is the point in raving and ranting on a public forum, why don’t you approach the authorities and bring about the change yourself.

During NDA tennure, then Home Minister Advaniji expressed his views that there should be death penalty for the rapist.
In Islam -death penalty for adultry
– death penalty for sourcery(JADU TONA)
– death penalty for drug trafficers or anybody encourage evils in society
modiji’s views are good but let us see whether SANGH parivar will allow him to focus these views.

real bharatiya: Why is that you have to bring ‘your’ religion everywhere…..no wonder you guys seem so obnoxious the worldover….
the religion you are referring to is not democratic….it is one of the shrewdest reengineered cult on this planet….and moreover if you read the news article, it states “upto” death penalty not definitive death penalty….i hope you understand the difference, the difference between a jungle and a city…..

sunny,
Great suggestion!
A tree वन or a tulsi वन in in every village. Trees help to contain the spread of dust in air and enhances cleanliness. Tulsi is the ONLY plant effective to curb global warming. Bhagvaan Shree Krishna saw it coming and thus initiated Tulsi mahatmya
An OM center will enable entire community to feel like a family. No trust/management please.
An library will keep idle people busy in reading, as supposed to chattering, a most common site in villages
And a slew of other measures you suggested are awesome

@ tintin
Point well taken. You are right.
Complaining to authorities and even to Narendra Modi saheb was done as the first resort for the last 2 years, but nothing effective so far. Even narandramodi.in was tried, but no response on the matter. And worse, no change in ground situation either.
We continue to suffer with poison thrown into our fresh water Mother rivers. This problem is not too different from the hooch tragedy.
People are only interested in money, not in life. This is not called economy and development.
The goondaraj Kangress got us into this quagmire and BJP continuing with those policies.
At the district and taluka level no change in situation, things go as they used to during the goonda Chiman Patel rule, and so people question the purpose for voting the BJP.
RSS, VHP, BJP talk Hindutva only in words. As for the Mother rivers and her children they silently suffer frm the poison. One of the promise of Hindutva is, We grow up and show some maturity in administration.
जय श्री राम!

Oh well ok i can understand your plight why not start a massive signature campaign or better still approach the environment minister if it helps?
July 17th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
@ tintin
I already been writing to the environmental minister, GIDC, the secretaries, the district collector, but of no avail. A ministry of deaf and numb. Behaving like the goondaraj Kangress ministers with Only money in their mind.
None of us were affected by the hooch tragedy, yet we discuss about this in the forum. Why?
Just because you are not affected by the poisonous pollution in fresh water Mother rivers doesn’t mean you should try to pull down someone trying to spotlight on this issue in the public forum? The purpose of public forum is precisely to draw attention to the greatest disaster of Gujarat where millions are affected in golden corridor from the abuse of Mother rivers as gutters for waste disposal.
When saner voices are demanding arrest and death penalty for the hooch tragedy, why aren’t they mindful of a similar tragedy of larger scale due to the plight of our environment and Mother nature, thrown to the wolves by the Gujarat administration? Especially when they claim to be Hindutva!
Henceforth, I am going stop writing in this forum because I have no intention to enforce upon you. If public prefers to be deaf and dumb, so be it. GOD save Bhaaratmaa.
जय श्री राम!
