Even if one forgets the complicity of Modi and his ministers and police officers in the organised andbrutal genocide of hundreds of Muslims, particularly women and children in Gujarat after Godhara; even if onewere to neglect that the Modi government, far from providing any relief to the victims of the massacre, closeddown the relief camps which were being run by voluntary organisations; even if one were to forget the mannerin which the government has not allowed conditions to be created for the return of several thousands ofMuslims who were driven out of their homes; even if one were to ignore the manner in which the stateadministration, right from the police who investigated the massacre to the public prosecutors who not onlydeliberately messed up the investigations and prosecutions, but even conspired to destroy the evidence of thehorrendous crimes (as was shown by the CBI report in the Bilkis Bano rape case); there is almost dailyevidence of the complete breakdown of the law enforcement machinery in Gujarat from the manner in which theVHP, Bajrang Dal and other Sangh Parivar thugs go around openly, threatening, assaulting and battering notjust the minorities, but anyone who speaks against religious fundamentalism in that state.
