Sanjiv Bhatt: a crook as a hero

 Once in a while, we have a lapse in our judgement, a gaping lacuna in our thought process. We mistake cowardice for bravery, skulduggery for honesty and a zero for a hero. Sanjiv Bhatt is hailed by a section of our people, as a brave and fearless cop. A man of conviction and gumption who stood up against the corrupt and communal state government of Gujrat and exposed its dark underbelly. Heaps of eulogy spewed on him and paeans sung in his name. Ladies and gentlemen, hold your horses. Before you are carried away by this propaganda pertaining to this "courageous" police officer, it is time to ingest some home truths.

  Leaving side all this hype and hullabaloo surrounding Sanjiv Bhatt, it is worthwhile to take a look at  his career and track record objectively. Sanjiv Bhatt's career, from its very inception, has been mired with controversy. His misdemeanors, acutely criminal in nature, predates Modi's coming to power in Gujrat. In 1990, Prabhudas Vaishnani  died of renal failure after he was allegedly beaten in custody in Jamkhambhalia . His brother Amrut Vaishnani registered a complaint against Bhatt and his six subordinates for custodial torture and murder. In November 1990, Vijaysinh Bhatti, who was 40-years old then, was taken to a police station, after he had come out of his house during a curfew. He was severely beaten and tortured, resulting in  kidney failure and being bed ridden for life. In 1996, as the SP of Banaskantha district, he implicated  a Rajasthan-based lawyer, Sumer Singh, in a fake narcotics case to get a shop vacated. He is accused of planting more than a kilogram worth of narcotics and indulging in abductions  in order to establish an alibi and serve vested interests. Subsequently, a criminal case was filed against Sanjiv Bhatt. The Bar association of Pali has alleged that Bhatt got himself appointed the Gujarat government's officer in-charge for the special appeal petition pending in the SC  and was  misusing the public money to fight the crimes he committed. The saga of transgressions does-not end here, Bhatt was at the center of a massive recruitment scam that hit Gujarat in 1996 when he headed the recruitment process as SP of Banaskantha. Ignoring the orders of the DGP, he did not follow regular procedures including maintaining records of those candidates who were successful in the police constable examinations. 

 In 2015, Bhatt was terminated from service for unauthorized absence. Let it be known that Bhatt has always had a habit of not reporting to duty, for extended periods without prior intimation, He is  a "brave" cop, with a  career besmirched with crimes and transgressions. A reputation for blatantly abusing power, implicating innocents in false cases, misusing government property and resources, recalcitrant to authority and being derelict in discharging his duties as a government official.  

  In 2011, 9 years after the Gujrat riots, Sanjiv Bhatt filed an affidavit in the Supreme court of India, against the CM of Gujrat, Narendra Modi He claimed to have attended a meeting, called by the CM during which he allegedly asked top police officials to give a free hand to the  Hindus to vent out their anger against the Muslims. Personally, I find it strange what took Bhatt nine years to file this affidavit if he knew Modi was culpable in the riots all along. Was the "brave" and "honest" cop mustering his courage all the years or did he have a sudden epiphany of sorts ? Interestingly when questioned about the huge delay in implicating Modi, Bhatt stated that in 2004, he "started sending out feelers" that he wanted to be cross-examined by the Nanavati Commission, but the Commission had not called him. Subsequently, the Special Investigation Team appointed by the Supreme Court of India concluded that Bhatt did not attend this meeting, and dismissed his allegations. In addition the SIT maintained that Bhatt had forged signatures of his superior officers to temper evidence in his favor, his descriptions of the events surrounding the riots were  inconsistent and his long silence in coming up with the revelations relating to the riots were rather dubious. 
  
Immediately after the dismissal of Bhatt, their was a  huge uproar, especially by the sickulars and liberals from the hate Modi cottage industry. The press went gaga about the "brave" cop who "took on Modi" being dismissed from service. Is simply "taking on" a powerful person imply that you are brave and uncorrupted? More so when the person "taking on" has grave criminal antecedents? Does the accusations of a tainted cop with criminal shenanigans have more weightage than the decree of the court ?

 
By the way, it is rather hilarious to see how Sanjiv Bhatt always aims his barbs at Modi in particular and RSS/BJP in general. See Sanjiv Bhatt's twitter and facebook account and you will not see a single day where Bhatt has not written about Modi or BJP. His monomania and fixation with Modi is mildly entertaining. He spends his days observing when Modi wakes up, eats, sleeps, sneezes and then finding one hundred and one reasons to criticize him. However, he is very coy about saying anything against the Congress. It is germane to mention here that Bhatt's wife Shweta contested against Modi on a congress ticket in the Assembly elections, hoping to be a great hero but ended up being a big zero when she could not  secure even a decent defeat. In the meantime Sanjiv Bhatt goes on in  social media giving a free hand to his verbal diarrhea, with a preposterous holier than thou mien, full of grandiose high falutin words, but extremely shallow in substance and logic and reasoning skills worst than a mentally retarded monkey.
 After being sacked from service, the pompous fool quotes Voltaire ---"

Dangerous to be right when govt is wrong

Lol!! The condescending fool forgets that it is the duty of the courts to decide who is wrong and who is right. Below are more of some of the pompous clowns rhetorics  in twitter and fb, akin to the howlings of a lunatic---

Devious politicians are not the real problem. It is the gullible morons who keep on voting for them. 

For this compulsive liar, every election state that he visits is his 'second home'. Demagoguery thy name is Modi. :) 

The journey of India: From the Fabian Socialism of Nehru to the Fabian Fascism of Modi. What next? 

Deceit, lies, betrayal and trickery don't surprise me any more. What leaves me dumbfounded is truth, loyalty, honesty and sacrifice. 

When you elect an Events Manager as the Prime Minister, this is what you get. Now get ready for Raksha Bandhan... 

   A nation of gullible idiots will always find a smart charlatan to lead them down the garden path.

Did someone say, Prime Moron? 

An absolute must watch. The King of morons talking through his hat. Someone get him a real-time teleprompter.:) 

Devious politicians are not the real problem. It is the gullible morons who keep on voting for them.

After going through this bunkum by Bhatt I could not stop laughing. This guy must be high on drugs. Or he is suffering from grandiose delusional fantasies and is in poor mental health. The people who voted for Modi are all morons or gullible fools. It seems that Sanjiv Bhatt alone (and his buddies from the hate Modi cottage industry) know whats best for the country. The reservoir of the nation's brain and intelligence lies in the cerebrum  of Sanjiv Bhatt and his buddies. He does-not have any faith in democratic institutions and the wishes of the people. Nor does this clown have any respect for the judiciary or the law of the land. Between, has the "brave" cop ever aimed his barbs at the Congress or criticized the mega scams under the congress rule. No he hasn't raised a murmur of protest and we all know why...:-) 

We live in a democratic country and we have freedom of speech, right to criticize and all that. Sanjiv Bhatt is apt in misusing these democratic rights, to viciously slander and pillory Modi and create a vile megalomaniac caricature of him.  He has been using Modi and Gujrat government as a fig leaf to cover his own criminal shenanigans. He is a master in projecting that the sky has fallen, de-legitimizing the system of governance as a whole, casting aspersions on the law of our land and in the process projecting himself as fearless guardian of the public weal.His machinations are akin to a wily and scruple less parvenu, skilled in agitprop and dirty Goebbelsian tactics. Kudos to the government of Gujrat for having the spine for arresting and suspending this crook of a cop even though this act may be termed as a political vendetta initiated by the government. And hats of to the current dispensation for dismissing this crook  even as this crook continues to cry foul and continues barking like a dog. The mask of maudlin morality worn by Sanjiv Bhatt has been disported and people should see him for what he is, a very cunning, corrupted and over ambitious usurper and a coward to boot.
