A trinity from hell
Pravin Mishra
Dare to think about citizens in Gujarat when you have the combination of
god-Modi, guru-Asaram and shishya-Vanzara working in tandem? The wait for
Modi’s tweet is getting longer

English is a funny language. ‘Beard’ has two dictionary meanings: the
noun means a growth of hair on the chin of a man's face.The verb beard
means to boldly confront or challenge someone formidable. Even the word
‘weird’ has two meanings: the verb weird induces a sense of disbelief in
someone. However the noun weird means a person's destiny.
Long,brown,black,white…all kinds of beard are in news for weird reasons.
The charges on them range from rape, terrorism, faking terrorism, murder,
etc. All are accused of serious crime, have plenty of money and muscle
power,and enjoy significant fan followings.
The Mad Caddies is a band from California, formed in 1995. One of its very
popular sea shanties was “Weird Beard”. The lyrics read:
T h e n i g h t w a s d a r k
t h e s e a s w e r e r o u g h
t h e p o r t l a y s t r a i g h t a h e a d
t h e b o o z e r a n o u t
t h e m e n g r e w t i r e d
a n d t h i s i s w h a t t h e y s a i d:
" C a p t a i n i f y o u c a n n o t f i n d a p l a c e t o s e t h e r d
o w n t h e n y o u'll b e s l e e p i n g r i g h t a l o n g w i t h t h
i s v e s s e l i n t h e g r o u n d "
The song now has a new meaning as the captain of the Gujarat ship is in an
unprecedented crisis because of his own men who grew tired.
Suspended IPS officer DGVanzara, accused in a number of fake encounter
cases and in jail for more than six years, has written a 10-page
resignation letter from the police services, severely criticising the two
most powerful bearded men in the Gujarat government (one of them was part
of it until a couple of years ago).
The red bearded Vanzara bearded Modi government and said,“…the conscious
policy of this government which was inspiring, guiding and monitoring our
actions from the very close quarters. By this reasoning, I am of the firm
opinion that place of this government, instead of being in Gandhinagar,
should either be in Taloja central prison at Navi Mumbai or in Sabarmati
central prison at Ahmedabad.”
Vanzara also accused the Modi government of clandestinely making all
efforts to keep him and other officers in the jail to save its skin from CBI
and gain political benefits.
Vanzara said that he used to adore Narendra Modi like a god. In May
2007, Vanzara had said that Asaram Bapu was his guru. One may wonder what
would happen to an ordinary citizen in a state where Vanzara is a shishya,
Asaram is a guru and Modi is a god. Vanzara also said that his ‘god’ did
not rise to the occasion under the ‘evil’ influence of Amit Shah.
The suspended and jailed officer is angry because he and 31 other
policemen kept in different jails were used for political benefits and once
they outlived their utility they were arrested by the CID/CBI under the
very nose of this government.
This is not a battle of good versus evil; it is about unequal division
of the prey which they hunted together. On one side, Modi and Shah reaped
tremendous political dividends by faking the fear of jehadi terrorists in
the majority Hindus’ minds, their foot soldiers are paying for the crime by
being deprived of freedom and simple pleasures of life.Vanzara said,“This
government, through the dirty tactics of Amit Shah,is only managing for its
own self to swim and prosper in all directions while allowing police
officers to sink and die a natural death.”
The content of the resignation letter of Vanzara is not necessarily the
whole truth. It is a bitter admission of a frustrated police officer who
was in conspiracy with the then junior home minister Amit Shah as well as
the chief minister Modi who was and is the home minister in all the
‘encounter’ killings.
The resignation letter of Vanzara does not express any remorse
whatsoever for the killing of the innocent people but still continues to
project these encounters as the arrested cops’ duty towards the nation.
They never thought that they would get caught and would have to languish in
the jail for the rest of their lives. When the Sohrabuddin case was shifted
to Maharashtra, the shift from Sabarmati jail took away the royal treatment
that they were getting. So it’s not a change of heart on part of Vanzara
and police officers of his rank deserve no sympathy.
He has only succeeded in exposing not only himself but also Modi and
his government which unfortunately CBI could not do.
The otherwise noisy Modi birdie has not tweeted and has maintained
silence of a weird kind this time. It is now for the central government to
act if it still has some potency left in it.Declare president’s rule in the
state and arrest Modi.
