Modi defiant as Cong labels him 'Mr Death'

Posted: Dec 05, 2007 at 0000 hrs IST

Ahmedabad, December 5: Playing the communal card ahead of the assembly elections, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi has justified the killing of Sohrabuddin Sheikh in a police encounter asserting that "he got what he deserved".

Addressing an election meeting at Mangrol in South Gujarat on Tuesday, Modi questioned the crowd as to what should have been done to a man who dealt with illegal arms and ammunition, to which it shouted back "kill him".

"Then if I have done anything wrong, let the government of Sonia Gandhi hang me," he said.

"The Congress President Sonia Gandhi speaks about terrorism. But she has lost the right to talk on this because even after a year of Supreme Court's verdict, confirming the death sentence of Afzal Guru, in the Parliament attack case, nothing has been done towards adhering to the apex court's order," Modi said.

The fake encounter of Sohrabuddin and later the death of his wife Kauser Bi in mysterious circumstances stirred a lot of controversy.

Earlier, the state government had admitted in Supreme Court that Sohrabuddin was killed in a fake encounter. Three IPS officers including DIG Border range D G Vanzara, who was formerly heading the Anti-Terrorist Squad of Gujarat police, were arrested in connection with the case.

Cong labels Modi 'Mr Death'

New Delhi, December 5:

Labelling Narendra Modi ‘Mr Death’ after his Sohrabuddin remarks, Congress today stepped up pressure on the controversial Gujarat Chief Minister, asking the courts and the Election Commission to take suo-motu cognisance of his election speech.

The party also said it will take appropriate action against him if it comes to power in the state.

"There are no two views that if we come to power, we will take appropriate action (against Modi)," Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi said.

Alleging that it was for the first time in global political history that a sitting Constitutional authority has admitted to ‘cold blooded murder’, he said the phrase ‘merchant of death’ was not just ‘appropriate’ but in fact too mild for him.

"Is this not Mr Death himself speaking. This is a clear admission of guilt. Here is a pre-planned, deliberate, designed, cold blooded murder," Singhvi said.

He said the courts should take suo-motu cognisance of the admission made from a public forum and should convict him for cold-blooded murder, adding he wondered whether his next admission would have something to do with the disappearance of Kauser Bi, the wife of Sohrabuddin.

"This gentleman has conducted clear and gross contempt of the courts up to the apex court where several cases pertaining to the Sohrabuddin issue are pending," he said.

Singhvi also called upon the courts to expedite and conclude the trial of the Sohrabuddin cases.

He said the Election Commission (EC) must immediately take suo-motu cognisance of Modi's speech as ‘it is meant to affect the on-going electoral process in the state’.

Gujus are the most narrow minded Blood suckers of India

sonia by laxman singh on 06 Dec 2007

Gujarathis are hard working , enterprising, successful buisnessmen. They were the first to go to Africa and became very successful. They do not have to buy life insurance if they elect Modi. Good luck to others. Buy a good life insurance, make sure it covers the terrorists blasts.Remember Sonia is busy to find out why terrorists die with the police, then worry about innocent civilians

India need a strong leader like Mr Modi by Sonu Anand on 06 Dec 2007

i am with Modi. Congress just want to support muslims and in long term wants to finish hindus. It clearly reflectsfrom theway they r talking now a days. is there any one instance where congress has talked abt hindus. No. Why they r always blaming Hindus -- we have always shown tolerance and we as hindus respect other religion but now even after doing all this if we r to be blamed all the time its better to become intolerant and think of ourself else our very existence in our own mother india seems to be in danger. If i am anywhere wrong dont feel shy to correct me. And support Modi and BJP.Jai Hindustan

sonia gandhi by laxman singh on 06 Dec 2007

AICC- All Italian catholic committee. ReasonDefense minister- AK Anthony, Cabinet minister- Oscar fernandesAICC general secretary- Margaret AlvaAndhra cm - Rajsekar reddyAll this are christians , for the proportion of population representation is overwhelming. So for a good position in congress need to be a catholic or christian. US might have outsourced few clerical jobs, But India has outsourced its PM post and other important portfolios to Vatican.The way congress is delivering , wont be surprised if everybody is going to vote Modi as PM. No country can afford a terrortist Bombing every month killing hundreds.Terrorists are roaming in India free expect in Gujarath.Even indian and pakisthan muslims have to see what islam has really given them. They cannot not even stay in saudi or gulf statees or malaysia without a visa. Saudi and Gulf states subsidise oil to US, but they do do not reduce a penny to India with the second highest population of Muslims. Besides a policeman is hurt , Indians are charged with murder in malaysia. But a terrorist bombs a parliament no body has courage to punish him.Why even employ police or security, whose live do not have any values if a terrorist goes unpunished . It is time a country stands back and look a t the real truth.

MODI IS MODERN BRAHMARSHI by REDDYBHAI on 06 Dec 2007

As a constitutional authority he should have controlled his temperment and should not have uttered such words. Neither CM nor a PM has authority to decide what to do with a criminal. IT is only judiciary job.But it does not mean that Congress,Commi, etal not mr. DEATHS. They Mr.DEATHS of HINDUS and INDIA. The Congress,Commi, etal are the SHAME OF INDIA. HOW DARE THESE VOTE BANK LEADERS CALL THE BRAHMARSHI and the only true leader as mr.death?

Two faces of BJP by Syed Zainulabedin on 05 Dec 2007

BJP is the great sponsor of terrorism in India and it has encourage terrorism to meet its ends. During the 5 year regime of BJP at center three major terrorist attacks were occured including the attack on parliament. BJP failed to prosecute any of them as every know it was an staged attack just to get sympathy from the world. When US president Bill Clintion visited India the same BJP govt staged an attack in Kahsmir and Clinton himself regretted publicly at a function in New York and said that if he knew that Vajpayee govt can go that low I would not visit India.It was the BJP's foreign minister Jaswant Singh who not only release Azher Mahmood from the jail but traveled with him to Kabul and let him go to back to Pakistan. BJP is the most and worst hypocratic party in the country one side it is against the terrorism and other hand encourage terrorism and sponsor terrorism. Its has two faces one during the power and one when it is in opposition.

India of our Dream! by Kalanidhi on 05 Dec 2007

I am from south India, Karnataka near Hampi, the ruins of the last of the great Hindu empires of South. Like in the rest of India, Hampi is full of plundered desecrated hindu temples status by Islamic invaders. If anybody (even a decent muslim) visit that place they will be upset at the mentality of Islamists. Not only they ruined our cultural heritage, made hindu woman slaves(here is the origin of sati system..) and produced crores of offsprings out of those hapless hindu women, the current day muslims in south asia. They set our own blood against us, today that product of hindu woman's agony is 13% muslims in India and much of Pak/bangla/afginistan. They are contuining the culture of those foreign invaders..Only solution is total defeat of all secular apologists, it is these guys like UPA/Communist and english media/fake NGos who are the real enemy of the sanatan-dharma. As for as the most regressive practice by Taliban type Islam (not real peaceful Islam/sufyism) is concerned, it should be isolated like Nazism. The current adherents of Islam in India, real hindu offsprings of the past, should be brought back to their ancestors fold. In this nobel pursuit, we always encounter Mir-zaffers and Jaysimhas supporting Gazni all times, we should recognise these hidden traitors reborn in all these 'pseudo-secular' practioners, to make India a great cultulered and peaceloving country, where everybody in the world want to come here as in the ancient times.

jokers by Modi on 05 Dec 2007

All the Modi zealots here are jokers for whom the religion is more important than humanity and law of the land. Even followers of Hitler at that time felt that Hitler was protecting their race and culture; and we all know what happened next.The people here love to spread their personal venom against anyone who is not a blind follower of modi.

SONIA Gandhi is the Vatican Terrorist in INDIA by Ramesh Khan on 05 Dec 2007

English Media and Anti-Hindu Media set to defame Mr Modi. Sonia Gandhi is Anti-Hindu and so are her supporters Muslims want more jobs and favours for their votes. Sonia Gandhi has given more contracts to ITALY for she is from there. Next it will be Colombia as Mr Rahul loves Colombian Girl Friend so Colombia is all set to loot INDIA. USA is looting and so has Mongals and Persians Looted INDIA. UK already looted India for 200 years. Portoguese still loot India from their base in GOA where the Law is still the 60 year old Portuguese Law! Can the Media focus on these issues instead? or Its just the Money Game!

Congress threat to Hindus; should be defeated by Mrs Chaarulata on 05 Dec 2007

Congress is islamic terrorist political party and majority of its leaders and ministers has links with ISI agengs and muslim terrrorists.As congress governs the nation, muslim terrorists can't be punished by courts and police because of political pressure from rulling UPA government. None of the muslim terrorists are getting punished because of protection from Congress leaders. Congress comes to power defeating BJP with the help of 26% muslim vote banks. Modi govt did a right thing by punishing muslim terrorists as they are threat to hindus.Congress has started special drive to recruit muslim terrorists in police,army and CRPF etc.The security of 80 crores hindus has become vulnerable now.

Need more like Modi by Bhupendra on 05 Dec 2007

Congress should pay attention to killings and rapes by its communist ally in Nandigram rather than shed crocodile tears at the death of a criminal.
