 In an explosive submission before the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) Additional Director General of Gujarat police R.B. Sreekumar has revealed how Chief Minister Narendra Modi and his bureaucrats issued orders like "elimination" of minorities, ignoring activities of the Rashtriya Swamsewak Sangh (RSS) Sangh Parivar and distorting facts about the actual situation prevailing in the state during his tenure as state intelligence chief. He also revealed how Modi himself issued instructions to keep a watch and tap the phones of state Congress party chief Shankersinh Vaghela, his former Cabinet Minister Haren Pandya and certain Muslim police officers and municipal counselor.
| That's why Modi's damaged goods. The Indos are going to have to dump him eventually, but it looks like he's pretty well connected. And ruthless, though clumsy. |
Sreekumar, whose earlier disclosures also created a furor, has made these revelations in a blow-by-blow account contained in a "semi-official" diary annexed to his petition before the CAT. This diary contains details of his interactions as additional DGP (intelligence) between April 16 and Sept. 19, 2002 with Modi and many others in the state government. An entry of June 28, 2002 says that after a meeting to discuss preparations for the forthcoming Rath Yatra, then Chief Secretary G. Subbarao told Sreekumar, "If someone is trying to disturb the Rath Yatra or planning to spoil the same, that person be eliminated." He added: "This is the policy and well-considered decision of Chief Minister Narendra Modi." When Sreekumar objected saying it was illegal, Subbarao told him that "such action can be taken on the basis of situational logic". Subbarao was not available for comments.
| I guess his "situational logic" suggested he have his hair done that day. |
