My beloved countrymen,

Namaskar,

I am constrained to write to you with a deep sense of anguish. Since last eight years, canards have been spread against me. For the past one week, if we analyse the allegations leveled against me, then the truth will become evident. Truth cannot be suppressed. It is now my duty to place before you the facts that brings out the importance of understanding what the truth really is.

After the 2002 Godhra incidents, I had categorically said in the Vidhan Sabha and in public that no one is above the Indian Constitution and the law, even if he happens to be the chief minister of a state. These are not mere words. My actions have reflected this statement in its true spirit. I assure you that this will be my stand in the future.

In spite of that, some vested interests, without losing a single opportunity and with malicious pleasure and without bothering to ascertain the truth based on mere whims and fancies, have been tarnishing the good image of Gujarat, my government and me.

Recently, there has been a systematic campaign to defame Gujarat through propagation of false reports titled 'Special Investigation Team (SIT) summons Narendra Modi'; 'Narendra Modi did not appear before SIT' and 'Modi has shown disrespect to Supreme Court and SIT'. Such baseless allegations are being leveled once again against me to defame Gujarat.

I am therefore compelled to place the facts before my countrymen.

FACTS:

As soon as newspapers began reporting that Modi has been summoned by the SIT, the government spokesperson immediately said that Shri Modi is bound by the law of the land and the Indian Constitution. He has always extended his cooperation to every procedure of law. And he is committed to do so in the future.

It is a matter of grave concern and needs investigation as to why and who started spreading lies that 'SIT summons Narendra Modi on March 21, 2010'.

The purveyors of untruth failed even to think that March 21, 2010 happens to be a Sunday and a public holiday.

These purveyors of lies even did not once bother to check whether the key SIT officers, who are appointed by the Supreme Court, were present in Gujarat on March 21, 2010.

SIT had not fixed March 21, 2010 for my appearance. To say that I was summoned on March 21 is completely false. I shall respond to the SIT fully respecting the law and keeping in view the dignity of a body appointed by the Supreme Court.

The date of 21st March 2010 was invented by some vested interest and as a part of their effort to interfere in the due process of law. They wanted to paint me as a person who refused to respond to the SIT. This country has in the last twenty four hours witnessed a campaign of disinformation in which a section of the media became an instrument of the disinformers. I hope this section will now take corrective steps.


My beloved countrymen,

The people of Gujarat and this country have identified those who are defaming Gujarat continuously since 2002. But I want to tell the truth; spreading falsehoods has only one single purpose and that is to instigate people. It is a sinful action which will harm the working of a democratic state. Seen in the backdrop of events in the last 24 hours, it shows that there is a nexus among the vested interests in spreading lies against me, in order to defame me. This machination has come unstuck and the people have seen through this charade.

The government of Gujarat has always honoured and cooperated with the investigative agencies, commissions and Supreme Court looking into Godhra and post-Godhra incidents. And that is why I never thought of giving a public statement on this issue.

Despite unbearable pain, I decided to maintain silence in the belief that the due process of law would take its own course.

But now, as the lies reach a crescendo as never before, I am compelled to bring the facts before the countrymen. I also consider it my humble duty.

I hope the truth is not twisted by the purveyors of untruth to misguide the investigation. And I expect that the media would bring my deep pain and despair to the notice of the people.

Thanks,

Narendra Modi

Media-NGO nexus bolsters Modi

Chandan Mitra

For more than eight years, Narendra Modi has faced the wrath of the media and some motivated NGOs. Paradoxically, he has emerged stronger!

There is this story and I donât think itâs apocryphal. It involves Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and a leading television news anchor. This apparently happened after Mr Modi won a stunning two-thirds mandate from the electorate in 2002 despite a sustained campaign targeting him in the national, as well as local, media for his alleged role in the post-Godhra riots. When the TV personality walked into the Chief Ministerâs chamber for an interview Mr Modi got up, shook his hand and thanked him effusively. Taken aback by this unexpected gesture, the anchor asked the Chief Minister why, in spite of the hostility shown by the channel, he was being thanked. Mr Modi tersely replied, âBut for your hate campaign against me, I would not have won such a huge victory. I hope you continue to spew venom in the years to come.â

More than eight years after the ghastly mass murder of innocent kar sevaks in Godhra and the frightening reaction to that incident, Mr Modi still remains a demonic figure for most of the media. Barring this newspaper no other English-language publication presents a balanced picture of his formidable achievements. The Gujarati media, propelled by brazen financial greed, continues to snipe at him because he spurns their endless demands for official favours. English news channels spare no opportunity to haul him over the coals on the slightest pretext. Yet, Mr Modi remains the greatest Gujarati icon since Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and perhaps Indiaâs most dynamic Chief Minister with a development record that is the envy of his counterparts. Mr Modiâs 2002 assertion that the mediaâs demonisation of him will work to his political advantage has turned out to be prophetic.

This article is not meant to be an ode to Mr Modi; he hardly requires more adulation than he already gets. But the manner in which the English-language media recently went ballistic over the SITâs decision to summon him for questioning underlined the visceral hatred of this section of the so-called secular news dispensers towards him. Having tried strenuously and failed repeatedly to dislodge him from the Chief Ministerâs chair the media now clutches at straws. Last week they again demanded to know: âShouldnât Modi resign now that the SIT has summoned him?â This poser didnât go far, because being called for interrogation is hardly ground for an elected Chief Minister to put in his papers. Many senior politicians, some of them holding high office, have appeared in court to testify after chargesheets were filed against them and trials commenced. It is not even clear if Mr Modi will have to physically appear before the SIT or merely send the Stateâs Advocate-General to reply on his behalf. In fact, after the Supreme Courtâs observation in a related case last week that the SIT was set up to oversee proper conduct of the probe and could not also appropriate the right to investigate, even the legal validity of the summons is in question.

The media then fell back on tried and tested tear-jerkers, recalling in lurid detail the atrocities perpetrated during the post-Godhra violence, without even a cursory reference to what happened in Godhra itself. It was conveniently overlooked that following tantrums thrown by various motivated NGOs, fresh trials were ordered by the apex court in several cases of mob violence. In the gruesome Bilkis Bano case, in which the pregnant woman was not only brutally killed but allegedly the unborn foetus also ripped out of her stomach, the Gujarat Police filed charges against 18 people. After a fresh trial, this time outside Gujarat, the same 18 people were convicted. Now it transpires that the doctor who conducted the post-mortem testified recently that the ripping of the stomach and murder of the unborn child was a figment of some peopleâs macabre imagination. So much for the hyperbole about the subversion of the investigative process by a âcommunalisedâ Gujarat Police! Exactly the same happened to the probe into the Best Bakery incident, proving yet again that the shifting out of trials from Gujarat has made no difference to their outcome.

This brings me to the crux of the matter. Certain dubious NGOs, obviously on the payroll of Mr Modiâs political opponents, have been getting their way with the courts through sheer lung power, nuisance value and âsecularâ credentials. They got cases shifted out of Gujarat, kicked up enough ruckus through a sympathetic media to get the SIT installed by the Supreme Court, and used every ploy in their arsenal to fulfil their political paymasterâs objectives. These NGOs have been guilty of forging signatures in the distribution of relief to riot victims, and stand accused of behaviour towards those who did not toe their line. Best Bakeryâs Zahira Sheikh learnt this the hard way and served a jail sentence for perjury because she could not bear the NGOsâ torture and changed her statement in court. The same NGOs are now livid with the SIT, which in many ways is their brainchild.

Because there is no FIR or chargesheet against Mr Modi, they think the SIT too has been indoctrinated by Mr Modiâs brand of Hindutva. They have publicly accused some members of the SIT of being the Chief Ministerâs sidekicks. The NGO concerned seeks to be the complainant, advocate, judge and hangman all rolled into one! I recall one of their ilk, the Narmada Bachao Andolan (also anti-Gujarat and anti-Modi) using abusive language against Supreme Court judges because the verdict on Sardar Sarovar didnât go in their favour. An avuncular Bench of the court let off the rabble-rousers, including a well-known anti-national litterateur, with a mild warning. The social and media clout of these professional disruptors and diabolical breast-beaters is truly incredible.

It is, therefore, with some amusement that I followed the same mediaâs incandescent rage against Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati last week. Her money-mala at the BSPâs 25th foundation day rally was undoubtedly crass and exhibitionist. But it wasnât a political crime the way the media portrayed it. For decades, politicians have been weighed against coins at public meetings and the funds thus collected were viewed as donations from âadoringâ supporters. Many of Ms Mayawatiâs actions run counter to accepted social norms as well as aesthetics. Installing statues of oneself is not something Indians (irrespective of caste) are comfortable with. Ms Mayawatiâs political opponents have every right to question the use of public money for such activities. But in gunning for the garland of notes, the media should have recalled how Chaudhary Devi Lal had made it a habit to have his formidable bulk measured in coins.

By cocking a snook at the media and accepting yet another garland of notes 48 hours after the first, she has not just brazened out the criticism but probably enhanced the admiration with which her core supporters behold her. In the end, the media diatribe may have ended up as a much needed booster for the embattled leader. Isnât it time our media pundits stepped out of their air-conditioned ivory towers and conducted a reality check for themselves?
