ON THE OFFENSIVE
Modi is ‘crime manager’, says Keshubhai in blog
TIMES NEWS NETWORK

Ahmedabad: Former chief minister Keshubhai Patel in his blog on Friday
referred to chief minister Narendra Modi as a ‘crime manager.’
    Reacting to the remarks of the Supreme Court that the Gujarat
government was adopting adversarial attitude in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh
fake encounter case, Patel said that instead of getting to the bottom
of the fake encounter, Modi was trying to create obstructions in the
probe.
    The SC on Thursday told the Gujarat government that it has been
adopting “adversarial attitude” in the proceedings relating to the
case of fake encounter killing of gangster Sohrabuddin Sheikh in which
its former minister Amit Shah is one of the accused.
    The bench of justices Aftab Alam and Ranjana Prakash Desai had
remarked when Gujarat’s additional advocate general Tushar Mehta was
making submissions during the hearing of the CBI's plea for
cancellation of Shah's bail.
    Patel in August had resigned from the Bharatiya Janata Paty (BJP)
and had floated his own Gujarat Parivartan Party (GPP). He said in his
blog the case of Sohrabuddin was killing of one person but three
persons were killed in cold blood and the matter needs to be
investigated.
    But instead of showing eagerness to get to the bottom of things,
Modi has been creating hurdles in the case, claimed the former chief
minister.
