Sanjeeev Bhat's quest for Truth has tasted its first success. It takes guts for
a Government officer to take on a hostile fascist government. Sanjeev Bhat has
risked his life and job by holding Narendra Modi as a criminal responsible for
the 2002 Godhra riots. With so much flak against government officials for
corruption and collaboration in denying people's rights, this one act of
bravery should have been hailed across the country by the people who were
screaming their lungs out for a Jan Lok Pal. Instead we see a small crowd to
welcome Sanjeev Bhat back home from jail. The so claimed champion against
corruption Anna Hazare has done nothing more than mildly stating that what
Narendra Modi did was wrong. The former cop Kiran Bedi who is also in the fore
front of the anti-corruption movement only tweets that the legul buck stops at
the PHQ. The queue of NGOs to dance in the sunshine of Anna's tamasha are not
seen anywhere in the case of Sanjeev Bhat. And this is the hypocri
sy of the middle class in particular, the very ones screaming that politicians
and government officers are not upright. But what is the response and support
when one politician or officer decides to stick his/her neck out and gets
harassed by the government? A total silence?
At the moment Sanjeev Bhat has emerged as the true Gandhian. He has shown that
he is not a coward by refusing the court's solution to a compromise and
prefered to stay in jail till he rightfully gets bail. This is Gandhiji's real
Satyagraha. Long Live officers like Sanjeev Bhat in a fascist regime.
