Modi is 'crime manager': Ex-CM Keshubhai

Ahmedabad, September 8: Former chief minister Keshubhai Patel in his blog on Friday referred to chief minister Narendra Modi as a 'crime manager.'

Reacting to the remarks of the Supreme Court that the Gujarat government was adopting adversarial attitude in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case, Patel said that instead of getting to the bottom of the fake encounter, Modi was trying to create obstructions.

The SC on Thursday told the Gujarat government that it has been adopting "adversarial attitude" in the proceedings relating to the case of fake encounter killing of gangster Sohrabuddin Sheikh in which its former minister Amit Shah is one of the accused.

The bench of justices Aftab Alam and Ranjana Prakash Desai had remarked when Gujarat's additional advocate general Tushar Mehta was making submissions during the hearing of the CBI's plea for cancellation of Shah's bail.

Patel in August had resigned from the Bharatiya Janata Paty (BJP) and had floated his own Gujarat Parivartan Party (GPP). He said in his blog the case of Sohrabuddin was killing of one person but three persons were killed in cold blood and the matter needs to be investigated.

But instead of showing eagerness to get to the bottom of things, Modi has been creating hurdles in the case, claimed Patel.

May 28: Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Thursday asked the central government to unlock its coffers and help the needy affected by the coronavirus-induced lockdown.

In a video message posted as part of the Congress' 'Speak Up India' campaign, she lamented that even though the country is passing through a serious economic crisis with loss of livelihood due to the pandemic and the lockdown, the central government has not heard the cries of pain and trauma of people.

"We again urge the Centre to unlock its coffers and help the needy. Put direct cash of Rs 7,500 per month in the account of every family for the next six months and provide Rs 10,000 immediately; ensure safe and free travel of labourers back home, employment opportunity and rations; and also increase the number of work days under MNREGA to 200 days to facilitate jobs in villages," Gandhi said.

"Instead of loans, provide financial relief to small and medium industry so that crores of jobs are saved and the country progresses," she said in her video message on the party's social media handles.
