BJP shocked over probe into Modi’s snoopgate

May 3, 2014
Hyderabad, May 3: Attacking Congress over the appointment of a Commission of Inquiry to probe the 'snoopgate' issue allegedly involving Narendra Modi, the BJP today said the next government will review all the committees appointed post announcement of the Lok Sabha elections.

snoop"All committees appointed after the announcement of elections will be reviewed and the government of the day coming into office will have every right to review the decisions," senior BJP leader Venkaiah Naidu told reporters here.

Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde had yesterday said that a judge will be appointed to conduct probe into Gujarat 'snoopgate' before counting of votes in Lok Sabha election.

"I want to assure the people..these steps of the Congress party will boomerang," the Rajya Sabha member and former BJP national president said.

Asked if such committees will be wound up, he said "..if necessary, yes. Those with ulterior motives will have to go."

"They (Congress) are shameless…They are unable to resolve the problems faced by the country and suddenly now at the last moment they have got frustrated and disappointed and are setting up commissions only with a view to defame (BJP)…but it will heavily cost the Congress and it will boomerang on them."

"Once our (NDA) government will come into power whatever decisions were taken post announcement of the elections will be reviewed," Naidu added.

The UPA government had declared that a judicial commission to probe 'snoopgate' allegedly involving BJP's Prime Ministerial nominee will be in place before the Lok Sabha poll process comes to an end on May 16.

Reacting on the violence in Assam, he demanded explanation from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress President Sonia Gandhi on the matter. "Why the PM is silent when the situation is violent?"

In the wake of a massive controversy over Narendra Modi's interview to Doordarshan, Naidu alleged, "DD has been misused. Prasar Bharati has become the Prachar Bharati of Congress. There has been black-out of Narendra Modi and projection of Congress."

"Prasar Bharati CEO Jawhar Sircar has written to the Board saying Prasar Bharati should be given more autonomy. We have information that clear cut political instructions were given to Prasar Bharati that Narendra Modi should be blocked and all focus should be on Rahul and Sonia Gandhi," Naidu claimed.

He further demanded the government if it was sincere then it should alongwith DD publish the details of the time allotted to each political party and leaders (coverage on DD) and bring out a white paper on the same.

Reacting to another query on Congress leader Digvijay Singh's relationship with a woman journalist, Naidu said, "He is busy with something else and I wish him best of luck."

Jan 7: A Delhi Court today issued death warrant against four convicts in the 2012 Nirbhaya gang-rape and murder case. The hanging will take place on January 22 at 7 am.

During the hearing, the prosecution said there was no application pending before any court or the President right now by any of the convicts and the review petition of all the convicts was dismissed by the Supreme Court.

On Monday, the court had reserved order on issuing of death warrants against four death row convicts.

Today's order comes days after mother of the victim in the 2012 Delhi gang-rape and murder case moved the Supreme Court on opposing the plea filed by one of the four death-row convicts seeking review of its 2017 judgement awarding him death penalty.

The apex court had on July 9 last year dismissed the review pleas filed by the other three convicts — Mukesh (30), Pawan Gupta (23) and Vinay Sharma (24) — in the case, saying no grounds have been made out by them for review of the 2017 verdict.

The 23-year-old girl was gangraped and murdered by six men on a moving bus on 16 December 2012. The main accused, Ram Singh, allegedly committed suicide in Tihar Jail during the trial. Another accused was a minor at the time of the commission of the crime and was sent to a reform facility and released after three years.

Aug 3: Iqbal Ansari, who was a litigant in the Ayodhya land dispute case, has decided to gift a 'Ram nami' stole and a copy of the Ramcharitmanas to Prime Minister Narendra Modi when he attends the bhoomi pujan ceremony for the Ram temple here on Wednesday.

"Yes, I have received the invitation from Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust for the bhoomi pujan ceremony. I will certainly attend it. The dispute is over now after the court's verdict," Ansari, 69, told .

"Our Prime Minister is coming. I will meet him and give him a 'Ramnami' stole (with Ram's name written on it) and Ramcharitmanas as a present," Ansari said.

His father Hashim Ansari, the oldest litigant in the Babri Masjid-Ram Janmabhoomi land dispute case, died at the age of 95 in 2016 after which the son started pursuing the case in the court.

Talking about Wednesday's ground-breaking ceremony to mark the beginning of the construction of a grand Ram temple here, Ansari said, "I belong to Ayodhya. All this (temple's construction) will change the fate of Ayodhya. We all want our child to get better opportunities".

He further said, "I respect sadhus and saints. I am happy to have received the invitation for the ceremony. I think it is Lord Ram's will that I attend it".

When asked what he would have done had the court decided the case in his favour, Ansari said he had wanted the construction of a school and a hospital on the disputed land.

"I feel the city needs development. The future of our children should be safe and secure and they should get employment. Dispute in the name of religion should end now and we should let the city witness a new beginning," he said.

The Supreme Court had in November last year paved the way for the construction of a Ram temple by a Trust at the disputed site of the Babri Masjid's demolition in Ayodhya, and directed the Centre to allot an alternative 5-acre plot to the Sunni Waqf Board for building a new mosque at a "prominent" place in the holy town in Uttar Pradesh.

The state government has allotted a five-acre land in Dhannipur village in Sohaval Tehsil of Ayodhya for the mosque's construction.
