Ahmedabad, 13 August, 2011

Sometime back I was reading a national English daily and I read an advertisement published by Uttar Pradesh government narrating the achievements of the Uttar Pradesh government led by Mayavati.

One of the points highlighted as achievement was this: “374 notorious criminals carrying reward between Rs 50,000 – Rs 5,00,000 were killed by the police in self defense”.

And I was shocked to realize that here is a state where 374 criminals are encountered under one Chief Minister’s rule and there’s no uproar(perhaps because Mayavati’s party occasionally supports ruling Congress government in centre when UPA is not able to collect the numbers), while in the case of Gujarat, the central government is trying to fix the Chief Minister, former Home minister and cops for less than dozen encounters of criminals and terrorists.

Do you have heard that the Home minister goes to jail for encounter that happened in the state? Well you heard it only for this time in the case of Amit Shah who was put in jail for encounter of a notorious criminal Sohrabuddin. It’s all politics in this, damaging federal structure and tradition of healthy centre-state relationship in the country.

Read through a link given below, how S.Gurumurthy makes it clear that Shah has been fixed by fabrication.
