D.G. Vanzara, DIG of Police (under suspension) an under trial prisoner tendered his resignation from service with renunciation of all the post-retirement benefits on the following grounds: As stated in his letter the following parts are extracted for the judicious analysis .
Vanzara letter's Point A) : A monstrous episode of Godhra train burning and equally horrible post-Godhra riots in Gujarat provided a pretext to Pakistan based terrorist outfits like Let, JeM and D gang under the direct supervision of ISI, to "convert Gujarat into another Kashmir" by exploiting the sentiments of the Muslims all over the world. It was in this context that series of acts of terrorism like foiled attack on Rathyatra; bomb blasts at Godhra, Derol, Mehlol and Lunawada; bomb blasts in six AMTS buses of Ahmedabad City; Memco scooter blast; Nehrunagar cycle blasts; firing on Shri Niraj Jain at Vadodara and on Shri Laliwala at Surat; firing on Shri Jaideep Patel at Ahmedabad; firing on Shri Jagdish Tiwari and killing of Shri Haren Pandya; fourteen attack on Akshardham Temple at Gandhinagar etc., took place in quick succession which seized common people of Gujarat with fear and apprehensions.
Vanzara letter's Point B) : Jihadi Terrorism, thus, began to spread like a forest fire in all directions of the state with all its dreaded ramifications. Everywhere the police was clueless and that phase was almost a beginning of the anarchy in the state. Gujarat, having very long coastal and land border with Pakistan, was virtually on the path of becoming another Kashmir. It was in this context that "the pro-active policy of zero tolerance for terrorism" was adopted by the government of Gujarat at the highest level of its hierarchy. The said policy of government was most efficiently implemented by the Gujarat Police in general and by Crime Branch and ATS in particular as a part of their duty whereby all terror related crimes were detected, several national and international terror networks were busted which included the number of encounter cases also. It was the Epic struggle launched by the officers/men of Crime Branch and ATS who tirelessly continued to wage war against those who had been waging war against India by working day in and day out, for years together at the cost of their health, security and family well being only and only in the greater interest of state, society and country.
Vanzara letter's Point C) : I can say with pride that my officers and men could not only successfully prevent Gujarat from becoming another Kashmir, but they were also instrumental in providing a solid atmosphere of durable peace and security in the state which, in turn as a natural corollary, elevated the image of this government on one hand and cleared the path of development on the other. I state with all my humility that, but for the sacrifices made by me and my officers in thwarting the onslaught of initial disorder in the state, the "Gujarat Model of Development" which this government is so assiduously showcasing at the national level would not have become possible.
HONEST INDIA observation : In such a big country like India at least more than 1000 alleged killings of terrorists and anti national criminals in police encounters takes place. How many of them are genuine and how many of them are fake, indeed when considered by the police as genuine are indeed believed to be fake, thus it is question beyond a fair answer presented by one or other authority; only the God can know the truth ?
According to a Home Ministry 555 cases of alleged fake encounters by police, defence and paramilitary forces were registered by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) since April 1, 2009 till February 15, 2013. Uttar Pradesh recorded the highest number of alleged fake encounters in last four years -- 138.
Manipur recorded 62 alleged fake encounters, Assam 52, West Bengal 35, Jharkhand 30 and Chhattisgarh 29 during the last four years. Out of such a large number of alleged fake encounters there was first ever conviction in Mumbai, a sessions court held 21 persons including 13 policemen, guilty for the fake encounter of alleged Chhota Rajan aide Ramnarayan Gupta in 2006, while acquitted former encounter specialist Pradeep Sharma who was the prime accused in the case.
HONEST INDIA reasons : If such is the volume and severity of the fact and truth finding ambiguity, it is a serious question for the nation to ponder upon from at least two angles :
a) Human rights abuse angel: Human rights abuse is serious offence and lacuna for any civilised democratic society, and it seems in India it is weekned completely by the political establishments, using it selectively with selfish political bias.
b) Patriotic and national interest angles : From another important aspect if the nation consider these encounters like Sadiq Jamal, Tulsiram Prajapati, IshratJahan, Shohrabuddin , Batala House and thousand of alleged encounters in Jammu and Kashmir,Manipur or Nagaland etc.
The point of importance is when the that time DIG Vanzara draws a critical picture of state of affairs in Gujarat in the above points of his letter and the IB (Intelligence Bureau of Govt. of India) vouches the seriousness of the anti national activities by the ISI supported jihadi elements implementing it, what justification India's central government has to engage the premier investigating agency of India, that is CBI to so vigorously fighting hook or cook in maligning and taming their own country's patriotic police force of Gujarat and along with officers of IB, to the level of demoralising them.
Was not it at the instance of shameless ,semi/anti national, unpatriotic, communal and dividing leader Congress Dig sir, and that is just for sake of some cheap political rivalry ?
Was not by such actions the Congress led Government playing in the hands of anti India forces like ISI or their fronts like LeT,SIMI or IM ?
Will the nation or the history ever forgive those, who are waging proxy war against the honest, obedient and dedicated officers them, by torturing and BLACKMAILING them to submission and depriving them the civil liberty, confining them away from their home for long periods by delaying the legal proceedings ; just to tame them, and for this misusing Government agencies like CBI etc. in coercion against such brave, honest and loyal officers of police or security establishments, any where in India ?
How the time, money or energy of CBI and of various Courts ,that the Govt. is using for one or two so alleged fake encounters ( that is just for selfish and personal political gain) will justify the merits and fate of thousands of such type of fake encounters cases and human rights abuse cases , murders, and lastly ever increasing rape cases remaining untouched ?
India’s premier investigating agency CBI called the Ishrat Jahan killing a fake encounter and filed its first charge sheet in the case against seven police officers. The main grudge was only the satisfaction of some of our biased political class, that has found another opportunity to indulge in scoring brownie points over each other. With the similar instructions the CBI is also probing many of such fake encounters "Only in Gujarat" ; including the 2003 Sadiq Jamal fake encounter case in Gujarat, where several officials of the Gujarat Police allegedly involved.
Another shameless investigation initiated by Congress leader Digvijay Singh in Batala House encounter, as Digvijay Singh had created a big furore going public with a demand for a judicial probe into the encounter calling it fake encounter, in which even a brave and patriotic officer of Delhi police sacrificed his life and it was alleged to be fake ( thus suspecting the loyalty of the brave slain officer). This was done only because it involved few misguided persons belonging to the "minority community", but to the utmost disgust of Dig sir the court in Delhi ruled that the 2008 encounter in Delhi's Batala House was a genuine gun battle between the terrorists of Indian Mujahideen and police. But the nation has to pay price, because some national leaders are patronising them with fake stamp.
