BBC documentary row: 'emperors of world's largest democracy are insecure', says Trinamool MP Mahua Moitra

Moitra shared the archived link of the BBC documentary, saying that &ldquo;haven&rsquo;t been elected to represent world&rsquo;s largest democracy to accept censorship."

A day after the govt banned the BBC documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra on Sunday shared the link to the documentary on her Twitter account, adding that she "has not been elected to represent the world&rsquo;s democracy to accept censorship".
"Watch it while you can", Moitra tweeted, taking a dig at the govt for blocking the social media links to the documentary.

The two-part BBC documentary, which claims it investigated certain aspects relating to the 2002 Gujarat riots when PM Narendra Modi was the CM of the state, has been trashed by the Ministry of External Affairs as a "propaganda piece"

The two-part BBC documentary, which claims it investigated certain aspects relating to the 2002 Gujarat riots when PM Narendra Modi was the CM of the state, has been trashed by the Ministry of External Affairs as a "propaganda piece"

The Centre has reportedly issued directions for blocking multiple YouTube videos and Twitter posts sharing links to the BBC documentary "India: The Modi Question", according to sources to PTI.
The directions on blocking access were understood to have been issued by Secretary in the MEA, Apurva Chandra, on January 20 using the emergency powers under the IT Rules, 2021, a PTI report said.
The two-part BBC documentary, which claims it investigated certain aspects relating to the 2002 Gujarat riots when Prime Minister Narendra Modi was the chief minister of the state, has been trashed by the Ministry of External Affairs as a "propaganda piece" that lacked objectivity and reflected a "colonial mindset".

Faruk along with several others was convicted for pelting stones at the coach of the Sabarmati Express.

2002 Gujarat riots: SC grants bail to man convicted in Godhra train burning case

The Supreme Court on Thursday granted bail to a convict serving life imprisonment in the 2002 Godhra train coach burning case, noting that he has been in jail for the last 17 years.

Faruk along with several others was convicted for pelting stones at the coach of the Sabarmati Express.

The Supreme Court on Thursday granted bail to a convict serving life imprisonment in the 2002 Godhra train coach burning case, noting that he has been in jail for the last 17 years.
A bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justice P S Narasimha took note of the submission of a lawyer, appearing for one of the convicts Faruk, that he be granted bail considering the period undergone till now.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Gujarat government, termed the offence as the "most heinous" in which 59 people, including women and children were burnt alive and sought hearing of the appeals of the convicts at the earliest.
The top law officer opposed the bail plea and said usually stone pelting is an offence of minor nature, however, in the instant case, the train coach was bolted and stones were pelted to ensure that passengers cannot come out.
Moreover, stones were thrown at fire tenders also, he added.
"He (the convict seeking bail) instigated others and pelted stones and injured the passengers. Under normal circumstances, pelting of stones may be a lesser offence... But this is different," he said.
"In the facts of the case, the application of bail made by Faruk... is granted. The applicant was convicted of offences punishable under Section 302 (murder) of the IPC and sentenced to suffer imprisonment for life.
"The High Court had dismissed his appeal on October 9, 2017. The applicant has sought bail on the ground that he has been in custody since 2004 and has undergone imprisonment for about 17 years. In view of the facts and circumstances of the case and the role attributed to the applicant, we direct the applicant to be granted bail subject to such terms and conditions as may be imposed by the sessions (trial) court,&rdquo; the bench said in its order.
The appeals against the conviction of several convicts are pending adjudication in the apex court.
Mehta said the appeals were ripe for the final hearing and now they can be listed.
The CJI then suggested the law officer to provide the details such as that of the cases to be heard and assured that he will examine the details.
Faruk along with several others was convicted for pelting stones at the coach of the Sabarmati Express.
On February 27, 2002, 59 people were killed when the S-6 coach of Sabarmati Express was burnt at Godhra, triggering riots in the state.
Earlier, the Gujarat government had opposed in the apex court the bail pleas of some convicts in the case, saying they were not mere stone-pelters and their acts prevented people from escaping the burning coach.
The apex court, while asking the state to specify the individual roles of the convicts, had observed that bail pleas of those who were accused of stone pelting could be considered as they have already spent 17-18 years in jail.
In its October 2017 judgement, the high court had commuted to life imprisonment the death sentence awarded to 11 convicts in the Godhra train burning case.
It had upheld the life sentence awarded to 20 other convicts in the case.
On November 11, the apex court had extended the period of interim bail granted to one of the convicts until March 31, 2023.
It had noted that on May 13, the top court had granted him interim bail for six months on the ground that his wife was suffering from terminal stage cancer and his daughters were differently-abled.
In its November 11 order, the bench had noted that having due regard to the situation which continues to subsist, "we extend the period of interim bail until March 31, 2023 on the same terms and conditions".&nbsp;

The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a plea of Zakia Jafri, the wife of slain MP Ehsan Jafri, challenging the Special Investigation Team's (SIT) clean chit to 64 people, including then Chief Minister Narendra Modi, in the 2002 Gujarat riots case.
A bench headed by Justice A M Khanwilkar upheld the Special Metropolitan Magistrate's order rejecting Jafri's protest petition against the closure report filed by the SIT.
The top court upheld the Gujarat High Court order and said Jafri's plea is devoid of merit.
Ehsan Jafri was among the 68 people killed in Gulberg Society in Ahmedabad on February 28, 2002, a day after a coach of the Sabarmati Express was burnt at Godhra killing 59 people and triggering riots in Gujarat.

On July 30, an Ahmedabad court rejected the bail applications of Setalvad and former DGP RB Sreekumar in the case, saying their release will send a message to wrongdoers that a person can level allegations with impunity and get away with it.&nbsp;

The Supreme Court on Monday sought the Gujarat government's response on social activist Teesta Setalvad's bail plea and posted the matter for hearing on August 25.
Setalvad was arrested in June for allegedly fabricating evidence to frame "innocent people" in the 2002 Gujarat riot cases.
A bench headed by Justice U U Lalit issued notice to the state on her plea.
On August 3, the Gujarat High Court issued notice to the state government on the plea and had fixed the matter for hearing on September 19.
Before this, on July 30, a sessions court in Ahmedabad rejected the bail applications of Setalvad and former director general of police R B Sreekumar in the case, saying their release will send a message to wrongdoers that a person can level allegations with impunity and get away with it.
Setalvad and Sreekumar, who was also arrested in June, are accused of fabricating evidence to frame "innocent people" in the post-Godhra riot cases.
Former IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt, the third accused in the case, has not applied for bail. Bhatt was already in jail for another criminal matter when he was arrested in this case.&nbsp;

Bilkis Bano, a survivor of 2002 Gujarat riots, only had questions and a request as she spoke after the 11 men who were convicted of raping her and murdering her family members were released from Gujarat’s Godhra jail. 
Speaking to NDTV, Bano said that trauma of the past 20 years washed over her again when she heard that the 11 men who devastated her family and took her 3-year-old daughter away from her had walked free.

Eleven convicts serving life imprisonment in the Bilkis Bano gangrape case connected to the 2002 Gujarat riots were freed from a Godhra jail on Monday after a state government panel approved their application under its remission policy.&nbsp;

Bilkis Bano gangrape case : Eleven convicts serving life imprisonment in the Bilkis Bano gangrape case connected to the 2002 Gujarat riots were freed from a Godhra jail on Monday after a state government panel approved their application under its remission policy.&nbsp;
Post their release, the convicts were given a grand welcome by their family members outside the jail.&nbsp;
The Gujarat government's decision evoked sharp reactions from the public with many questioning the grounds for granting remission to men who were convicted for raping a then pregnant Bilkis Bano and murdering her family members.&nbsp;
While there were many victims of the riots, Bano's case stood out for the sheer brutality that was unleashed on her and her family.&nbsp;
<h3>Who is Bilkis Bano and what is her story? &nbsp;&nbsp;</h3>
Bilkis Bano, and her family, were among the many victims of the 2002 riots that broke out in Gujarat a day after the Sabarmati Express caught fire in Godhra.&nbsp;
On February 28, 2002, Bilkis, a resident of Radhikpur village in Dahod district, Gujarat, was five months pregnant and was fleeing her village with her three-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Saleha, and 15 other family members to escape the violence that had erupted targeting Muslims.&nbsp;
Three days later, on March 3, 2002, the family reached Chapparwad village and took shelter in a field when about 20-30 people, including the 11 accused, armed with sickles, swords and sticks attacked Bilkis and her family, according to the chargesheet.&nbsp;
In the attack, five women including Bilkis and her mother were gangraped and thrashed. Of the 17 family members, eight died and six went missing. Only Bilkis, a man, and a three-year-old survived the attack. &nbsp;&nbsp;
Bilkis&rsquo; 3-year-old daughter was snatched by the attackers and was murdered when her head was smashed to the ground.&nbsp;
After regaining consciousness a few hours later, Bilkis borrowed clothes from an Adivasi woman as her clothes were torn by the mob.
She then met a home guard who took her to the Limkheda police station where she registered a complaint with head constable Somabhai Gori. &nbsp;
Gori was later charged by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for &ldquo;suppressing material facts&rdquo; and &ldquo;writing a distorted and truncated version&rdquo; of her complaint. &nbsp;

Facing lack of cooperation from the local police, Bano approached the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and filed a plea in the Supreme Court in December 2003. The top court heard the case and ordered a CBI probe into the incident.&nbsp;
<h3>What were the findings of CBI? &nbsp; &nbsp;</h3>
After taking over the investigation, the CBI exhumed the bodies of the seven killed in the attack as it felt that the postmortem was shoddily done to protect the accused. The agency found no skulls on any of the bodies as the heads of the corpses had been severed after postmortem to evade identification.&nbsp;
During the trial, the case was shifted from Gujarat to Maharashtra after Bano said she received death threats. In Mumbai, charges were filed against 19 men, including six police officers and a government doctor. &nbsp;
While seven persons were acquitted by the court citing lack of evidence including the policemen and doctors, one died during the course of the trial. &nbsp;&nbsp;
In January 2008, 11 persons were found guilty by the trial court for conspiring to rape a pregnant woman, murder and unlawful assembly and under other sections of the Indian Penal Code.&nbsp;
The court held that Jaswantbai Nai, Govindbhai Nai, Naresh Kumar Mordhiya (deceased) raped Bilkis while Shailesh Bhatt killed her daughter, Saleha, by &ldquo;smashing&rdquo; her on the ground. &nbsp;
The others convicted are Radheshyam Shah, Bipin Chandra Joshi, Kesarbhai Vohania, Pradeep Vohania, Bakabhai Vohania, Rajubhai Soni, Nitesh Bhatt, Ramesh Chandana and head constable of Limkheda police station, Somabhai Gori. &nbsp;
All 11 convicts were sentenced to life imprisonment by the court. &nbsp;&nbsp;
The Bombay High Court in May 2017 upheld the conviction and life imprisonment of 11 people in the gangrape case, while setting aside the acquittal of seven people, including the policemen and doctors.&nbsp;
On May 15, 2022, one of these convicts went before the Supreme Court and pleaded for an early release after serving more than 15 years.

A sessions court in Ahmedabad on Saturday denied bail to activist Teesta Setalvad and former DGP R B Sreekumar, arrested for allegedly fabricating documents to frame innocent people in 2002 riots cases.
Additional principal judge D D Thakkar said that both the orders are rejected.
Setalvad and Sreekumar were arrested by the city crime branch around a month back on the basis of a First Information Report (FIR) against them under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 468 (forgery for purpose of cheating) and 194 (giving or fabricating false evidence with intent to procure conviction for capital offence).
In its affidavit, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) formed to probe the case has alleged that they were part of a larger conspiracy carried out at the behest of late Congress leader Ahmed Patel to destabilise the then Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government led by Narendra Modi.
It has alleged that Setalvad was paid Rs 30 lakh at Patel's behest soon after the Godhra train burning incident of 2002.
Sreekumar was a "disgruntled government officer" who "abused the process for damning the elected representatives, bureaucracy and police administration of the whole state of Gujarat for ulterior purposes", the SIT claimed.

“The unprecedented scale and spread of anti-Muslim violence in Gujarat in 2002 took place under which government?”
This question was asked in the CBSE’s Sociology test Wednesday in the Term 1 Board Exams for Class 12. The Board has now apologised for it, calling it “inappropriate”. The CBSE has also promised “strict action” against “responsible persons”.
The options offered to answer this question were: “Congress”, “BJP”, “Democratic” and “Republican”.
Taking to Twitter, the CBSE posted: “A question has been asked in today’s Class 12 sociology Term 1 exam, which is inappropriate and in violation of the CBSE guidelines for external subject experts for setting question papers.

In a second tweet, it said: “The CBSE guidelines for paper setters clearly state that they have to ensure the questions should be academic oriented only and should not touch upon domains that could harm sentiments of people based on social and political choices.”
