EC's decision on Gujarat dangerous: Gill

Author: News

Date: August 22, 2002

The Election Commission's decision to delay assembly polls in Gujarat will accentuate the 'communal divide' in the state, according to K.P.S.Gill, former security advisor to Chief Minister Narendra Modi, reports UNI.

The Election Commission's decision is a dangerous one and taken on basis of exaggerated accounts of conditions of the riot-affected and people living in the rehabilitation camps." Gill who was former director general of Punjab Police, said.

The supercop described the situation in Gujarat as 'absolutely normal' and said that when an 'avatar' comes from Delhi, there is a tendency to exaggerate things in order to get maximum relief.

"There has been no major incident of rioting or arsoning in the past three months.  Stray incidents do happen, But the situation is fast returning to normal," he said.

Gill, who was instrumental in bringing to an end terrorism in Punjab, pointed out that he was in Gujarat for about two months while the EC's visit was of a few days.

"How could the Commission jump to such a conclusion?  Did elections not take place even when hundreds of Sikhs had been massacred in 1984?" he asked.

"Did the Commission visit the interiors, the hundreds of villages have the details of what's happening in each of the villages.  It seems that then EC's decision is politically motivated," Gill lamented.

When asked that people were heard and seen expressing their grievances to Chief Election Commissioner J. M. Lyngdoh, Gill said, "The tendency to exaggerate things happens because, as they know, only 10 per cent of the relief will reach them.  The tendency i8s to exaggerate at least ten times," he added.

The former DG said that he was given the task to stop the violence, arsoning and rioting in the state. "Had I not performed there, I would not come back here.  I have a tract record where I have always accomplished the mission assigned to me," Gill said.
