New Delhi: In the wake of the Gujarat High Court-appointed SIT finding that the Ishrat Jahan encounter was fake and staged, the Welfare Party of India has asked the BJP leadership to sack Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.
After the killings in 2004, Gujarat police had claimed that Ishrat Jahan, the teen aged college student and her three accomplices were Lashkar-e-Tayyeba operatives and were on a mission to assassinate Mr. Modi. The four were gunned down in an encounter taken place near Ahmedabad airport on 15th June 2004.
Dr. S.Q.R. Ilyas, General Secretary, Welfare Party of India, said such fake encounters were staged just to catch the falling popularity graph of Gujarat chief minister Modi after the 2002 pogrom.
“It seems that more than the greed of the police personnel to get rewards and promotions, it was part of a larger design to create sympathy wave and raise the worst-hit graph of the BJP Chief Minister due to the communal pogrom of 2002 that killed thousands, most of them Muslims,” he said in a statement and asked BJP to sack his CM if it has slightest concern for human values.
Ilyas asked the BJP leadership, “if it adheres to rule of the law, has the slightest concern for human values and dignity and claims to be a party with a difference, it should immediately sack the Chief Minister.”
Welfare Party General Secretary further asked the central government to institute inquiry into all encounters, especially the Batla House incident that took place on 19th September 2008, in which two youth and a police officer were killed. To remove the many apprehensions in the minds of the people regarding the encounters, a white paper must also be brought out, he demanded.
