Any Attempt To Destabilise A Growing India Under Modi Should Be Thwarted By All Nationalists

R K Mattoo

The Country Should Not Fall In Trap To The Ecosystem Diverting Focus From Development Under The Modi Regime.

At The Same Time, The Modi Led Bjp Government Should Continue To Focus On The Develop

Ment And National Interests And Avoid Any Shortcut, Accusing The Well Established "Ecosystem" Of Some Political Parties Of Trying Their Best To Divert The Country's Attention From Main Issues Modi Must Keep His On Dynastic Parties And Assert That The Eight Years Of His Government Have Been Dedicated To The Country's Balanced Development Social Justice And Social Security While The Bjp Has Brought Development Into The Mainstream Of National Politics, Some Political Parties Have Been Playing With The Country's Future For Their Momentary Benefits.

For Their Selfish Interests, The Parties Look For Small Tensions And Weaknesses In The Society To Pour Poison Into Them And Incite People Some- Time In The Name Of Caste Or Regionalism. It Is Essential For The Bjp Which Is Moving Forward With Its Dream Of Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat To Keep Cautioning People Against These Forces And Parties.

How The Ecosystem Of Opposition Political Parties Have Been Trying With Their Full Strength To Distract The Country's Attention From Its Main Issues.

Let Us Be Aware Of The Fact That A Powerful Anti-India Lobby Has Been Working Overtime For The Last Few Years To Destabilise And Defame The Country's Polity, And Its Vibrant Economy Despite The Overall Recessionary Trends And The Slowing Of Economies All Over The World, India Under The Dynamic Leadership Of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Has Faced The Situation Boldly And Taken Hard And Forward-Looking Economic And Political Decisions. It Has Handled The Pan- Demic Well, And Managed The Economic Turbulence Caused By The Ukraine-Russia Wa The Situation In India On All Fronts Is Excellent And The Future Is Looking Bright. The International Monetary Fund Estimates That India Will Grow By 6.1% In 2023-24, The Fastest Among Major Economies, Including The United States (Us), Japan, And China. Inflation Is Expected To Fall Too, To Between 4% And 5% Over The Next Few Years.

India Is Set To Be The Third-Largest Economy In The World Very Soon. The Government's Adept Handling Of The Oil Situation In The Wake Of The Ukraine War Is Well Documented. As Is The Country's Diplomatic Response, Spearheaded By The Pm Himself And Ably Executed By The External Affairs Minister. Which Has Made India A Voice Of Reason On The Global Stage.

This Year, India Has The Chair Of The Powerful G20, And Also The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Together, Its Economic And Geopolitical Success Has Made The Country The Cyno- Sure Of Many Eyes-Both Internally And External-

Hence The Attack. First In The Form Of A Dia- Tribe By Pakistan Minister Bilawal Bhutto At An International Forum, Then The Ill-Conceived Docu- Mentary Series Made By The Bbc After "Pro- Longed Research Of Two Years"

The Motive Appears To Be To Defame India And The Indian Political And Economic System, Throw- Ing The Country Into Chaos Interestingly, Trigger- Happy Public Litigation Costs And Opposition Par- Ties Have Lapped Up The Opportunity.

In Any Case, Challenging But Interesting Times Are Ahead. And As We All Know, Pm Modi Loves Challenges Because He Knows Well How To Convert Them Into Opportunities. History Shows That During The Last 22 Years Of His Active Political Journey, Starting From November 2001, He Has Converted Adverse Situations And Challenges To His Political Advantage.

He has been constantly attacked, including at a personal level, by politicians, activists, and others with vested interests who have targeted him for what happened during the 2002 riots in Gujarat. A judicial commission under the chairmanship of a retired supreme court judge, justice G T Nanavati, went into all the details of the Godhra train carnage and subsequent riots in Gujarat and submitted a detailed report. This report has nowhere indicted the pm, then the chief minister of Gujarat.

The Supreme Court constituted a special investigation team (sit) under the chairmanship of R K Raghavan, retired Indian police service officer and former central bureau of investigation director, to investigate some of the sensational riot cases in Gujarat. The sit did a meticulous and fair job for 14 years and submitted regular progress reports to the supreme court, which often expressed satisfaction over the reports submitted, and recently closed the monitoring part of it. Apart from con- ducting further investigations, sit was mandated to pursue the prosecutions in the special courts as well. Sit not only secured convictions in various cases but also successfully extradited one of the accused who was in the United Kingdom.

In A Nutshell, The Perpetrators Of The Riots In Gujarat Have Been Adequately And Appropriately Handled By Investigating Agencies, Which Include Local Police And The Criminal Investigation Department, As Well As The Courts. This Was Achieved When Modi Was The Chief Minister Of Gujarat And Neither He Nor His Colleagues In The Government Tried To Interfere With The Administration Of Justice.

Pm Modi Also Submitted Himself Before The Sit For Questioning, As Mandated By The Supreme Court Which Wanted It To Inquire Into The Allegations Made By Zakia Jafri Against Him And Others With Regard To The Alleged Role Played By Them During The Riots. The Sit Did A Comprehensive Job And Submitted A Report To The Jurisdictional Court That Accepted It. This Was Further Challenged By The Petitioner In The High Court And Subsequently, In The Supreme Court, And After A Detailed Hearing, The Matter Was Settled Finally With The Apex Court In A Detailed Order Accepting The Closure Report Of The Sit, Meaning Thereby That The Allegations Leveled By The Petitioner Were Found To Be Wrong And Baseless.

Against this backdrop, where is the relevance of the BBC documentary? Raking up an old issue with mala fide intent speaks volumes of the conspiracy. PM Modi is definitely going to gain from this. This will be a tight slap on the face of detractors and conspirators.
