Attacking Narendra Modi for "stalling"
appointment of the Gujarat Lokayukta, Congress today
accused him of acting like Hitler and said his "double
game" has been exposed by the Supreme Court order.
Comparing Gujarat's government opposition to
Lokayukta's appointment with Hitler's act of lockout of
institutions during his rule, the party said "these kind
of people want to come to Delhi. The Supreme Court
judgement has served a warning signal to the nation."
The Congress reaction came two days after the apex
court rejected the curative petition of Modi
government challenging the warrant of appointment of
Lokayukta by Governor.
Modi's "hyped self righteousness and the hypocrisy of
BJP" have been exposed, spokesperson Raj Babbar told
reporters at the AICC briefing, and demanded that the
Gujarat Chief Minister apologise to the people of his
state.
"The Supreme Court through its five-judges bench
order has exposed those pretending to be clean and
practising otherwise.
"It is now expected that the subversion drama enacted
by Modi by consistently playing the double game of
pitching for a Lokpal at the Centre and simultaneously
stalling appointment of Lokayukta in Gujarat will come
to an end," he said.
Babbar used the occasion to target Modi over his
"burqa" remarks and referred to German dictator Hitler
and his propaganda minister Joseph Goebbles when a
reporter asked him about former BJP President Nitin
Gadkari's remarks seeking action against mediamen
doing wrong reporting.
"You will have to face this. This is culture of Hitler and
Goebbles. In Hitler's line of thinking, those who
support them are fine but the rest have to face the
music," he said.
Accusing Modi of stalling Lokayaukta's appointment to
hide his "black deeds," the Congress spokesperson
said that the Gujarat Chief Minister "subverted" all
processes of law and governance.
"Congress party demands that Modi and BJP apologise
to the people of Gujarat...the state government has
incurred an expenditure of Rs 45 crores in paying legal
fees to various luminaries only in the Supreme Court
to stop the appointment of Lokayukta. Modi should
provide details of this wasteful expenditure," Babbar
said.
A five-judge bench headed by the Chief Justice did not
find merit in the curative petition filed by the Modi
government after dismissal of review petition and
appeal against the Gujarat High Court's decision
holding Justice Mehta's appointment by Governor
Kamla Beniwal as valid and legal.
Curative petition, which is decided generally in judges'
chamber, by the three senior most judges and the
judges who delivered the impugned judgement, is the
last procedural resort for a party to seek redressal
against the apex court verdict.
The bench dismissed the curative plea of Gujarat
which was filed after its petition seeking review of the
January 2 verdict was dismissed.
A bench comprising justices B S Chauhan and F M
Ibrahim Kalifulla had not found merit in the review
petition filed by the state government.
The petition had sought a re-look into the judgement
which had dismissed the Modi government's plea that
the appointment of Lokayukta was illegal as it was
done without consulting it.
The same bench in its verdict on January 2 had given
primacy to the opinion of the High Court Chief Justice
on the appointment issue by disagreeing with the
state's contention that the governor could not appoint
Lokayukta without its advice. source m.economictimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/narendra-modi-stalling-lokayaukta-appointment-to-hide-black-deeds-congress/articleshow/21193966.cms
