Civil rights groups have criticised the government’s double standards saying
that it first kills minorities citing a war against terrorism but during
elections it comes out with many plans for them.

Rights group *Awami
Bharat<http://awamibharat.blogspot.com/2009/10/people-are-being-exported-to-gujarat.html>
* called a press conference on Saturday to expose the nexus between the
police and politicians in encounter killings.

“Earlier, encounters used to take place in Maharashtra. Now the government
has started exporting people from Maharashtra to Gujarat to kill
them,”activist-lawyer Mukul Sinha said at the conference.

Sinha also represents the family of Thane girl *Ishrat Jahan* who was killed
in an encounter by the Gujarat police in June 2004. According to the Gujarat
police, the teenager was on a mission to kill Gujarat Chief Minister
Narendra Modi.

Ahmedabad metropolitan magistrate SP Tamang, in September, concluded that
the encounter was fake.

Sinha said the line between genuine and fake encounters has faded and the
encounter killing of Ishrat had exposed the Gujarat government.

“Encounters and riots are all state sponsored,” Sinha said.

On the Ishrat case, Sinha said until the date of the final argument he did
not know that that there was an affidavit filed by the central government
saying that Ishrat was linked to the Lashkar-e-Tayyeba.

An officer heading the Gujarat’s intelligence bureau in 2002 and in whose
tenure the state saw the highest number of encounters must have added to the
Centre’s affidavit, said Sinha.

“Just before the Maharashtra elections the Centre filed another affidavit
saying it has no objection to an independent inquiry into the case,” he
said.
