Now when the special investigation team (SIT) has nailed the Gujarat’s state police in the killing of college girl Ishrat Jahan and her three friends in 2004, the time has come for the media and others who had spread canard against them to apologize. Following the killing a hysteria was created by some in the media that how young and educated Muslim youths were getting involved in terror activities.
A concerted effort was made by politicians and the state government to prove that the youths’ killing was right. But after more than seven years of investigation they stand exposed. Will they apologize to the family members, who from day one had been shouting that Jahan was a victim of police atrocity?
Nothing like this will happen because our politicians are shameless creature. Chances are high that many will come up with another story that as UP election is nearby the Congress is trying to expose the BJP. Whatever the political game, the fact is that the court-appointed investigators have confirmed that the youths were liquidated by the state police in a staged shootout.
In 2004 the Gujarat police had claimed that the girl and others were on a mission to create chaos and bloodshed in the state. But, on Monday the SIT dropped the bombshell claiming that Jahan, a 19-year-old girl from Mumbai was killed earlier than the shootout date of June 15, 2004. Others to be killed included at that time were Javed Sheikh alias Pranesh Pillai, Amjad Ali Rana and Zeeshan Johar. The cold blooded murder was justified by saying that the youth were linked to the Pakistan-backed terror outfit Lashkar-e Taiba.
The SIT version only brings more trouble for Narendra Modi under whose rule thousands of Muslims were butchered.
Now all eyes are on the BJP that is girding up for the UP Assembly elections.
The right-wing press and some journalists too need to clear their stand. It would be interesting to see which newspapers make it a lead story tomorrow.
