The following is a statement, issued by seven eminent persons, against the Gujarat government’s action against Citizens for Justice and Peace activists fighting the Zakia Jafri case:
Indian citizens have just got a disturbing glimpse of how the state would deal with dissidents and human-rights defenders should Narendra Modi come to power nationally. Hardly had the ink dried on a magistrate’s judgment exonerating Modi in the Zakia Jafri case, when the Gujarat police filed a First Information Report against Teesta Setalvad and other Citizens for Justice and Peace activists on patently trumped-up charges.
Eleven months ago, the police had dropped investigations into these very charges after CJP activists explained what they were working towards. The sudden filing of the FIR is evidently in anticipation of CPJ’s decision to appeal against the Jafri case judgment. This follows Gujarat’s well-established pattern of harassment of critics, the intention being to intimidate and silence them. Any attempt to prevent the early filing of an appeal will subvert the process of justice. Such intervention is contrary to the norms of our Constitution and speaks of an anti-democratic mindset.

FACE BOOK POST


If one goes, 
by the IMPUNITY with which the Swamy Nityananda's, Sakshi
Maharaj's,other  Sadhvi's and Sangh
Pracharak are FLOUTING the LAWS on EQUALITY 
before law of all, including Minorities, by RUNNING the GHAR VAPASI,
LOVE JIHAD, and other OBNOXIOUSLY PUNGENT anti-minority campaigns, without a
SINGLE SOUL in the Government, let alone MODI, objecting to these OPEN and BLATANT
provocations  against the Minorities, it
is hard to say WHETHER we are HEADING towards a FASCIST REGIME as TEESTA
SETALVAD is CAUTIONING OR we are ALREADY there, considering the FACT that
JUDICIAL PROCESSES are getting subverted to GET ALL the "FAKE ENCOUNTER
CRIMINALS IN UNIFORMS" out of prisons on one pretext or the other and
REINSTATING them and even PROMOTING a few of THEM !

AND also , the FACT that those LEGAL
PERSONALITIES like TEESTA SETALVAD who were in the FOREFRONT to get JUSTICE for
the VICTIMS of the 2002 Gujarat ANTI-MUSLIM POGROM  are being implicated in to, purportedly FALSE
CASES to harass them endlessly, is another KIND of SUBVERSION and MISUSE of the
JUDICIAL process EXACTLY the WAY it was done by the FASCISTS in ITALY and the
NADZIS in Germany !

So, our SECULAR CIVIL SOCIETY needs to NOW
BUCK UP and get up to FIGHT & DEFEAT 
this RAPIDLY DEVELOPING MENACE 
that otherwise is very LIKELY to irrevocably RUPTURE  the PEACE in our SOCIETY  that is very VITAL  for ANY KIND OF DEVELOPMENT and PROGRESS!


















India a secular state UNDER MODI&RSS watch?A JOKE!
