Now, Gujarat cops make 'terrorists' shout pro-Islamic slogan
Ahmedabad: A second video of a mock drill has been surfaced in Gujarat that shows the police unit stereotyping terrorists from a particular community.
The latest video is of another anti-terror mock drill at Narmada dam site in Kevadia area of Narmada district. It shows policemen holding two dummy terrorists who were shouting "take our lives, if you want. Islam Zindabad (long live Islam)".
Reacting to the Surat episode that came to light on Wednesday, Chief Minister Anandi Patel admitted it as a "mistake" to show people posing as terrorists in the drill in skullcaps.
Narmada Superintendent of Police Jaypalsinh Rathore said an inquiry will be conducted into the issue.
"I came to know about this incident (of projecting terrorists as Muslims) through media. If such an incident has happened, we will conduct an inquiry and take necessary actions against those responsible," he said.
"The mock drill was a routine police exercise which was conducted a week ago in Kevadia area," Rathore added.
Senior Congress leader Rashid Alvi said, "Since Prime Minister and BJP have come these things are happening on a routine. PM should change his attitude and make sure these incidents don't take place."
The anti-terror drills were conducted ahead of the two high-profile events being held in the state - Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (January 7 to 9) and Vibrant Gujarat Investors Summit (January 11 to 13) - both in Gandhinagar.
