It seems the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has decided to turn the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case to its advantage in the upcoming civic polls. The party's youth cell has prepared a questionnaire (with six questions) for people who will be asked to answer in a 'Yes' or 'No'. And the very first question asks: 'Do you believe that the state government is fighting against terrorists like Sohrabuddin Sheikh to protect the public?'
The questionnaire has been prepared for 'Vistarak Yojana', a campaign that the BJP's youth cell has planned to make people aware of the party's ideology and work. Vistaraks (nominated representatives of the youth cell) will visit every city, town and village to enrol new members and also seek youths' response to the questionnaire.
Three other questions in the list deal with the BJP's 'battle against terrorism' and its fallout. The second question deals with the alleged misuse of the CBI to harass the state government. 'Is the Congress harassing Narendra Modi's BJP government by misusing the CBI?' the second question states. The third question asks, 'Do you believe that Afzal Guru and Ajmal Kasab should be hanged?'
In the fourth question, the party has tried to seek the people's mandate for its fight against terrorism. 'Will you extend co-operation to the BJP government headed by Narendra Modi in the fight against terrorism?' says the fourth question.
In the last two questions, the party has raised the issue of inflation under the UPA government and chief minister Narendra Modi's development campaign.
The party is claiming that three lakh people across the state have filled up the questionnaire and all replies are in their favour. "Around 1581 Vistaraks have visited different places in the state and approached seven lakh youths," said Pradipsinh Waghela, president of the state BJP youth cell. "Of the youths approached by us, 3 lakh have joined the party. We have sought the opinion of 3 lakh people regarding the Sohrabuddin case and the misuse of the CBI."
The Congress, however, has called this drive a 'mockery' of the people. "If the state government believes that it has done the right thing by killing terrorists like Sohrabuddin, it should say so before the court instead of giving compensation to Sohrabuddin's family," said Arjun Modhwadia, Congress MLA from Porbandar.
"It is BJP's tendency to indulge in such gimmicks and play with the sentiments of the people. But the people will not tolerate this anymore," he added.
The BJP had to face much embarrassment when former minister Amit Shah was arrested as an accused in the Sohrabuddin case.
