On Tuesday night (Oct 11) it seems gas balloons burst on being singed by candle flames
outside Sanjeev Bhatt’s house. It scared the small crowd there, Bhatt’s
father-in-law fell down and rumours of a blast had a short life. Hard to fathom
what the candle light activists were doing with balloons. I suppose gas
balloons are symbolic of the gas bags that have pronounced Bhatt completely
innocent of any crime and a victim of a witch-hunt. Never mind. All the candles in the world are
unlikely to end Sanjiv Bhatt’s troubles soon.
So who are these gas bags? All the usual suspects, of course! There is
Teesta Setalvad, Shabnam Hashmi, Mallika Sarabhai, the leaders of the pack. All
three are established and exposed liars. One can sympathise with Mrs.Shweta
Bhatt (Sanjiv’s wife) and understand her dismay on these events. But instead of
taking saner counsels to work for her legally she has allowed gas bags to
holler and shriek mindlessly in defence of her husband. The three angels on her
side have acquired so much disrepute that anything they now utter is suspect.
Shweta stated that her husband was not a criminal and does not have a
history of offences. That Bhatt was being treated like a ‘terrorist’ in
custody. That his life is in danger. She writes to P. Chidambaram and complains
about the threats. None of these seem a natural response but more a tutored act
that has all the ingredients of a drama that the media so loves. The story of
Sanjiv Bhatt is not that of a ‘whistle-blower’ as the media so dearly likes to
call him. It is an extraordinary case of how and why an IPS officer chose to
reveal information and file affidavits against Narendra Modi, nine years after
the Gujarat riots of 2002.
The one lesson that is lost on many activists is that whatever the
media crooks hype usually turns out to be a huge propaganda of untruths. The SC
order on September 12 sending the Zakia Jaffrey case to the lower court stunned
many of these media mullas who had hoped the SC would rap Modi. It didn’t
happen. Latest information also suggests that neither the SC nor the SIT had
considered Sanjiv Bhatt’s affidavit in the SC. This only means that his
affidavit does not contain reliable evidence against Modi. The motive of Sanjiv
Bhatt to come out of the blue and file that affidavit incriminating Modi in the
riots must remain under serious question. It doesn’t help that some Congress
politicians have been revealed to have lent him support in his misadventure.
This document here
chronicles the extraordinary history of offences by Sanjiv Bhatt. He is not the
whistle blower or the angel that media has tried to portray him as. But he
suits the huge anti-Modi industry propelled by the three stooges (Teesta,
Shabnam, Mallika) and comedy channels like NDTV, CNN-IBN and TimesNow. It would
also appear that much prior to his affidavit in the SC, Bhatt would probably
have been extensively communicating with these activists. Since the exposure of
fake affidavits of Teesta Setalvad the media didn’t really have much to shout
about against Modi. The Bhatt affidavit gave the campaign a new lease of life
for the anti-Modi propaganda.
It is not just Sanjiv Bhatt but the law will sooner or later catch up
with Teesta Setalvad. Here’s more from DeshGujarat:
Public prosecutor S.V.Raju says “.. Bhatt’s allegation against Modi was simply
to divert the attention from the main offense he had committed. Raju also said
that adding involving the names of Modi and late Haren Pandya in affidavits was
to attract media attention….Bhatt had suppressed the fact that he had
approached the Supreme Court for bail on the very next day of his arrest on
October 1. The bail plea was later withdrawn from the SC registry on the same
day and Bhatt’s lawyer Syed placed the fact on record only after filing bail
application in local court here on October 3”.
And if that is not enough a case of murder has been registered against
Sanjiv Bhatt for a custodial death in 1990 in Jamnagar (Guj). The Jamnagar court will soon file a
charge-sheet against Bhatt and other accused policemen in the case. Still, the
defence for Bhatt continues to pour from none other than Team Anna. This Team
Anna is slowly turning out to be a political tool for unknown elements.
Suddenly, its member Shanti Bhushan announces Modi is the most communal person
and he is willing to defend Sanjiv Bhatt as a lawyer. Bhushan goes on to add “Bhatt
was being persecuted only because he had filed an affidavit against Modi”. No
sir, he is not being persecuted, he is ACTUALLY being prosecuted. And as a
lawyer, this moron should let the law prevail instead of making political statements about the Congress
or the BJP or Modi.
As for the media the best comment yet comes from Rajeev Srinivasan in
an article at Firstpost. He describes how this cottage industry of hate and
manufacturing consent operates: “Then there are the various characters who keep
popping up like jack-in-the-boxes. The Fiction-Writers Posing As Journalists.
The Activist Accused By Witnesses Of Tutoring Them To File False Affidavits.
The Angry Dancer. The Police Officer 1.0. The Police Officer 2.0. That Police
Officer 1.0, who was once the media’s favourite, has trashed Police Officer
2.0, its current favourite, does not seem to bother the media at all”.
Sanjiv Bhatt has spent 12 days in jail and is still fighting for bail.
Whether he gets bail or not a long legal battle awaits him. Candles will not be
enough, he may well need a bonfire.
