Tehelka’s Sting gives Modi an acute pain

Oct 26: The Tehelka magzine’s latest outbreak by the sting operation on Godhra carnage culprits has once again shell shocked the whole country with Gujrat’s Chief Minister Narendra Modi landing up in a big trouble. The sting operation focused around the culprits, who worked behind the curtains to give the planned massacre a destination.

Tehelka, which has added a new concept of activism to media and in its recent discovery, has claimed that it has unquestionable evidence related to the massacre of Muslims, physical assault on their women and destruction of their property during Godhra carnage.

It was not a surge of anger but a planned genocide, which was executed by senior functionaries and activist of the Sangh Parivar, including BJP, VHP, Bajrang Dal and RSS with the help of state authorities and police under the kind cover of Chief Minister Narendra Modi.

Tehelka conducted an inclusive sting operation and the programme was exclusively aired on Aaj Tak and Headlines Today on Thursday night.

The ghoul of Godhra is back to lime light, this time to expose the horrendous crimes, which has given a scar to our nation.

The sting operation, which lasted for six month has tried to capture a bird eye view over Godhra carnage and those who incited the massacre.

The programme has directly pointed towards Chief Minister Narendra Modi, and his well-wishers at that time. In a shocking revelation the sting captured several of prominent leaders of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), Bajrang Dal, RSS and BJP making statement that laid the blame on Chief Minister directly.

The sting showed Babu Bajrangi, a Bajrang Dal activist now with Shiv Sena telling the reporter that Modi gave them three days time to finish off their carnage before the law stepped in, he is a main accused in the Naroda Patiya area killings that saw hundred of Muslims butchered to death.

Haresh Bhatt was ostensibly caught on the camera saying that he too was present in the meeting when Modi was giving three days time to do whatever violence they wanted to do. He told that Modi thanked them after three days of rampage and Naroda patiya killings.

Bhatt claimed that they even made crude rocket launchers used in the anti-Muslim pogrom and violence.

Tehelka claimed that Dhawal Jayanti Patel revealed that VHP made lots of bombs in the factory owned by him.

Praveen Togadiya, a prominent VHP leader was also projected to have incited the mob at the time of massacre.

The BJP reacted sharply, charging that Tehelka was acting as “CIA (Congress Investigating Agency) while Congress has welcomed the sting operation by Tehelka.

The dark history of Godhra Massacre

The gruesome act which was a blot on our nations history dates back to an unfateful day of February 2002, the ill- fated coach of Sabarmati Express, which was flamed, 58 people were burnt alive including 25 women and 15 children at Godhra station.

Vociferous Modi and other VHP leader alleged that the act was a planned act to kill the ‘Kar sevaks’, who were travelling on the Sabarmati express.

The post Godhra violence rage occurred largely between February and June. The violence was instigated after unsubstantiated rumours endorsed by VHP leader that three Hindu girls were kidnapped during Godhra train attack. Several of towns were boiling with the heat of riots, killing innocents, assaulting women and children and demolishing many religious monuments of Muslims.

Many Human Rights watchdogs raised various questions on Modi’s administration and his in capabilities to handle the issue at a proper time.

With the state election knocking at the door, this has created much trouble to Modi who was founding himself clogged in self-generated controversies.

It seems the time of despair has come for Modi when his own party members are revolting against him.

He could not have imagined that his past deeds will erupt at such a time when he wants to evade those queries the most.

Recently in an interview to Karan Thapar, Modi left him astonished when Karan asked him to say sorry for whatever happened in Gujarat during those riots.

The question raised by Karan made him so uncomfortable that he walked out abruptly from the interview.

He is passing through the same Newton’s law, which he has quoted for the riots, which created controversy that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

Also the revelation suggests that the Godhra carnage was not the result of a riot as it was not a sudden outburst but a war that was planned in advance.

I commends tehlka news that it has revealed the true story atlast.This has given me fresh justification for the creation of pakistan.Had we not migrated from india now we would have been slaughtered by extremists.What to speak of those who cut the liberal muslim poet in to pieces and pulled out the foetus from the disembowelled muslim mother's womb.

My dear Indians, I appreciate the way tehelka has conducted the sting. over centuries to go behind, our country had been a symbol of inter religious and inter cultural unity. But to attain their selfish ends, certain anti-national elements, in the veil of their fake patriotism, are creating mass communal imbalances. some people may be shocked due to this sting. now they are raising questions over the dignity of tehelka. here the issue is not the dignity of tehelka. the issue is how to do justice to the victims of Gujarat riots. we shouldn't be depressed off a sting conducted against those whom we love. our love towards them shall pe personal only. when it comes to the interests of the nation, we have set aside our personal affections and raise tones for justice. Then only these anti-national elements will be defeated in their attempts and justice can be done to the victims. I hope this sting will open the eyes of judiciary system and the culprits will be given the due punishments.
Jai Hind.

People like Narendra Modi should be hanged for what have they done. I am ashamed calling myself an Indian. Shame on us that we cannot punish a mass murderer.

I don’t like any political party,I don’t expect much from today’s politicians,their motto is just make money but still from so many dirty politicians I see Mr.Modi as different and positive personality for making INDIA good to great country.For them who think Mr. Modi is villain I like to bring their notice to following.
1. Whats meaning of doing this now?Why date of tape showing 2000.01.01?Why tahelka always target BJP?Tahelka gets money from where?It is a time to make sting operation to the authorities of Aaj Tak & Tahelka.
2. What about the peoples died in Train?Who was responsible?Why Aaj Tak & Tahelka r not searching truth for that?
3. Very watchfully go through the statement of Babu Bajarangi about a pregnant women as per him “FIR main likha hai ki maine…�. indicates that he was repeating the statement written in FIR. Due to this kind of some clips I have doubt that huge editing is done in this.
4. Even if Mr. Modi is behind it, I salute his power & control.Show me a person who can control this kind of persons even to policemen,Show me a person who can successfully proceeds maximum period as CM even when persons from his party,opposition,election commission,media & some others creating problems against him.Show me a person who can bring peace,safety & all kind of development to the state after this.
5. A naked truth is after Godhra riots there is less communal riots in Gujarat also all the Rathyatra conducted peacefully otherwise go through the history of Gujarat you will came to know what was happening every year before accident of Godhra.Check history of riots in Mumbai before and after 1992,it is self explanatory.
Common friends don’t build complex against Mr.Modi,ask person from Gujarat regarding him,visit and see Gujarat,b Indian and observe u will definitely change your attitude.Also very important don’t trust media now they r not trustworthy. Peoples of Gujarat knows best,they will show d same in election.Wish INDIA hv Mr.Modi as PM.

This is the pinnacle of journalism. Now, Mr.Modi and his parivar, stand exposed like Hitler and his coterie. This is fantastic piece of journalism. Kudos to the Tehelka team. Let the nation see and shocked of what happened. This country belong to every one. Not for Hindus alone.

There were die-hard fans of Hitler too. Manoj Dias is victim of propaganda which describes pre-Modi Gujaratis as children of raped women.

I am staying is gujarat since last 30 years and this was the first time i am proud of Mr. Modi as I can walk without fear on streets of ahmedabad/Gujarat I have seen those days when our girls / wife’s / mothers were raped / abducted several times and were killed in front of us by Muslim groups that time nobody had mercy on us, we were beaten / burn and killed like animals by Muslim groups that time Tehalka / Tejpal were sleeping this is the first time somebody like Modi has done a good job he is great man he has reminded me of Sardar Patel he has done nothing wrong. He is innocent, and this time i will strongly support Mr. Modi.
