One of the things all Indians, including Modi voters, should be ashamed of is how we have allowed Modi to treat Rahul Sharma. This brave Indian Police Service, or IPS, officer tracked the movements of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) thugs who participated in the rioting. He did so by going to mobile phone operators and securing data from their signal towers to track cellphones. This is how we came to establish that Modi’s minister for women and child development, Maya Kodnani, was involved in the murder of 97 Gujaratis, among them 33 children and 32 women, in Naroda Patiya, Ahmedabad.

Sharma should have been decorated for his initiative, but instead he is persecuted.
Modi charged him under the Official Secrets Act for not handing over this data, instead giving it to a commission of inquiry. Why on earth would Sharma give such vital evidence to the people trying to conceal it? He acted correctly, courageously and patriotically. But Modi sees him as an implacable enemy and thus began an ordeal for Sharma, which has continued for over a decade.

Last month, the media reported that Sharma “has filed three petitions in the CAT (Central Administrative Tribunal) alleging harassment by the state government and other superior officers to him stating that as he had submitted various crucial evidences before Justice Retd K.G. Nanavati (actually, G.T. Nanavati) and Akshay Mehta commissions probing 2002 riots indicting the government, he is being targeted.”

“In one of the three petitions, he contended that the state government has issued charge sheet and held back his promotion with malafide intentions.”
“On December 6 last year ahead of December 7—the day when the promotions were declared—he was charge sheeted for the case of a missing CD, which contains crucial records of 2002 riots,” he said in the petition.
“Charges of fake signature were also made by the state government with malafide intentions to stop his promotion,” he alleged in the petition.

“While serving as Rajkot DIG, Sharma was given six show-cause notices and 52 letters were sent to him alleging his misconduct as an officer.” Some notices, he says, “were issued giving frivolous reasons. One such reason was ‘giving cash awards’ to driver and other subordinates while another was doing spelling mistakes,” the second petition said.
Yes, spelling mistakes. Let it not be said, as I have told you, that Modi is not petty or vindictive.
