Nation in the hands of criminals
Prosecution witness in Sohrabuddin encounter case Azam Khan’s statement before the CBI court had revealed the role of police department in Haren Pandya murder case. Khan had said former IPS officer Vanzara had allegedly ordered the killing of Pandya. And fearing more names tumbling out in this context, Sohrabuddin and his wife were murdered. Pandya may have been killed to avoid the truth of Gujarat govt’s role in Gujarat massacre coming out in the open or before the media. As if to concur with that, a few strong evidences have also been found.
One is the claim of advocate Satish Uke that justice Loya died of poisoning (isotope) and not of heart attack as claimed. Chief investigating officer Sandeep Tamgadge in an interview to Indian Express has said Amit Shah and three IPS officers are key conspirators of Tulsiram Prajapati’s murder, who was the close aide of Sohrabuddin. All these killings happened when Amit Shah was the home minister of Gujarat. Today he is the national president of the party and perhaps the only person close to Prime Minister Modi.
With this investigation, the nexus between the government, police department and criminals under Gujarat government is out in the open. A home minister had used the power of his office to control the police. And the police were using the criminals to fulfil the requirements of politicians and would receive suitable rewards as well. Later, those criminals would be done to death and the media would praise officers like Vanzara for their ‘encounter’ skills. While in reality, the likes of Vanzara didn’t do those encounters to save the nation or control the criminals or something as important as that.
Those encounters were done to cover up their own misdoings. If the criminals could open their mouth, the true colour of politicians would be out in the open. Police officers would lose their jobs. Even governments may fall. For all these reasons, Sohrabuddin, his wife and their aide had to be killed. There are possibilities of many such murders having happened. Sohrabuddin, Prajapati, Azam Khan and others may have been goondas and criminals, but they were protected and nurtured by people who occupy high offices. This fact becomes evident as one goes into the history. There was a time when Nehru, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Morarji Desai, Indira Gandhi and Atal Bihari Vajpayee were the face of the nation. Though there were a few accusations against him, Atal Bihari Vajpayee was liked by one and all. People of this nation loved him because at the international level, his name was impeccable.
His background, his participation in freedom fight, political statesmanship and wide reading had made him an endearing leader. Schools teach good qualities of political leaders so that students get inspired by them and turn into good citizens. But how can the schools teach about the personality of today’s leaders? The answer to why goondas, rowdies and murderers roam without fear in our country lies within us. When leaders without character and values rule us, the characterless will be in the forefront of affairs.
Those who assume power with the help of criminals, will naturally be indebted to them. Their duty is more towards criminals over the common people. They do not have any vision about the country’s development or economical prowess. They are all enthused to foment more communal clashes across the nation. Hence the whole nation needs to wake up when accusations of Haren Pandya, a prominent hindu leader, his killing is aided by Amit Shah. We are submitting the country into the hands some leaders and we need to understand the effect of this.
In the list of Nehru, Shastri and Indira; names like Amit Shah and Modi figuring is the biggest tragedy of the country. Hence, Amit Shah must voluntarily resign from BJP and allow the investigation to complete. PM Modi needs to bring pressure on Shah for this to secure the reputation and integrity of the nation and BJP. With all these gruesome accusations, if Shah continues to be in the office, the difference between police and criminals would naturally be lost and criminals will most certainly rule the country.

Lost a good friend; void cannot be filled: Fadnavis mourns Ajit Pawar’s passing
Mumbai (PTI): Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday described Deputy CM Ajit Pawar’s tragic death in a plane crash as unbelievable, and said he had lost a good friend.
Fadnavis said “today” (January 28) will be a government holiday and there will be a three-day state mourning as a mark of respect to Pawar.
Ajit Pawar’s death has left a void that will never be filled, he said. “After working closely together, it is unbelievable that he is no more,” Fadnavis said.
Talking to reporters, Fadnavis described Pawar as a people’s leader who knew the state well and had a deep understanding of the issues in Maharashtra. He said it takes several years to build and establish such leadership.
Fadnavis said he had apprised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah about the tragedy. The CM said he had also spoken with Ajit Pawar’s cousin Supriya Sule and his son Parth Pawar.
“Both (Deputy CM) Eknath Shinde and I are leaving for Baramati now. Once their entire family gathers in Baramati, we will share further details,” he said.
The entire state stands by Pawar’s family and his party NCP in this hour of grief, he added.
Ajit Pawar, 66, and four other persons were killed after an aircraft carrying them crashed in Maharashtra’s Pune district on Wednesday morning, officials said. The incident occurred when the plane carrying Pawar and others landed near Baramati, they said.
Several state BJP leaders, including Ashish Shelar, Ravindra Chavan and Chandrashekhar Bawankule, expressed deep grief over Pawar’s passing.
“This heart-wrenching incident has left the mind numb. Maharashtra has lost an experienced, dutiful and resolute leader,” state minister Shelar said.
Pawar left a distinct imprint on the state’s politics through his strong grip over administration, decisiveness and relentless drive for Maharashtra’s all-round progress. “Firmness, discipline, punctuality and tireless dedication were defining aspects of his personality,” he said.
BJP state president Ravindra Chavan said Maharashtra’s politics was unimaginable without Pawar. He said Pawar was known as a dynamic leader with a powerful command over administration and an unwavering focus on the state’s comprehensive development.
He said Pawar held the record for serving the longest tenure as deputy CM in the state’s history and left an indelible mark while handling key portfolios such as irrigation, energy and finance. “With his passing, Maharashtra has lost a firm, disciplined, punctual and indefatigable leader. This void can never be filled,” Chavan said.
Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule described Pawar as a senior friend and guide. “Even now, it is difficult to accept that this tragedy has really happened,” he said. Pawar would be remembered as a true people’s leader who gave clear direction and unstoppable momentum to Maharashtra’s all-round development, Bawankule said.
Recalling Pawar’s immense administrative experience, Bawankule said he had personally sought the NCP leader’s advice on several occasions.
“The loss of Ajitdada is not merely the departure of one leader; it is a profound loss for Maharashtra itself. The nation has lost a visionary statesman, and I have lost a dear elder friend and guide,” Bawankule said, adding that the reality of Pawar no longer being among them felt impossible to accept.
