Shah's resignation: BJP says designs of CBI will be exposed

New Delhi: BJP on Saturday stood behind Gujarat Minister Amit Shah, who resigned after being charged with murder in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh case, saying the "mischievous designs of the CBI" will be exposed in court.

"We have always had the highest regard for our judicial system and always cooperate with law, so there will be a legal fight in the court," BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said.

He maintained that though Shah has resigned, the party was fully with him and will be raising its voice against "abuse of CBI for political purposes."

"He will fight against the mischievous designs of CBI in the court and the truth will be upheld," Javadekar said.

Shah, a close associate of Chief Minister Narendra Modi, resigned from the state ministry, a day after CBI charged him with murder in the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case.

Sohrabuddin was a gangster who graduated to a terrorist. It was the Central government which first tipped off the Gujarat government about Sohrabuddin. Therefore the Gujarat government's revelation that Sohrabuddin was on his way to kill Narendra Modi is credible. They were not in the mood to take things easy and treat Sohrabuddin as a son-in-law as the Congress would have done and has done in the case of Afzal Mohammad. It was such non-nonsense approach by the Modi government that has kept Gujarat largely terrorism-free all these years. Now the CBI, under Congress tutelage, wants to link Amit Shah (and maybe eventually Narendra Modi) with Sohrabuddin's pre-terrorist days as gangster and discover a motive there. If they can say that the motive was other than killing a terrorist, they can divert the public focus from terrorism and take the halo away from the strong men of Gujarat who kept the terrorists at bay. The insidious anti-national plot of the Congress must be exposed.
