The Chicago born, Narendra Modi`s right hand man Amit Shah was appointed one of the General Secretaries of BJP and in charge of UP by Raj Nath Singh surprised none when BJP President took charge.T hat was the moment when Narendra Modi started knocking the door of Prime ministerial chamber of BJP. Then Amit Shah was an externed MLA of Gujarat and filing of charger-sheet was still looming large on him. But Narendra Modi and Raj Math Singh imposed full confidential in him in the background of his performance in the past. Amit Shah secures utmost faith of BJP machinery and his organizational capacity in organizing events like his supremo Narendra Modi.
Amit Shah, 50 was born in a Gujarati American business family in Chicago, US but he abandoned his country of birth and joined RSS to serve his native motherland. He contested 42 elections in Gujarat big or small and without exception won all. He is perceived to be a strong planner on ground level unlike other BJP strategists who worked in closed doors.BJP was doing badly in UP election after election despite all efforts made by UP`s leaders but BJP always cut a sorry figure, the decimated Congress also did better than BJP. Then came the influence of Modi who suggested Amit Shah`s name to improve the situation in UP.He took the responsibilities and quietly started working on the turf of UP which was a foreign soil for him.Constant guidance by Narendra Modi who himself worked as RSS Pracharak in every corner of India started bearing fruits.Hefty 80 seats in UP and to corner maximum from there was minimum if Modi`s aspirations was to be fulfilled.The heavy burden, appears to have been well discharged by Amit Shah as all opinion polls suggest over 50 seats for BJP which may further rise a little,59 being the highest tally of BJP from UP.
In the midst of run away success ,Amit Shah made three speeches in Muzaffarnagar area which is being termed as hate speech.On April 3,at Shamli and April 4, in Bijnor and Muzaffarnagar made certain statements .Addressing a Jat rally in Bijnor on April 4,Amit Shah is alleged to have said,
“Mayawati, to appease a community that oppresses you and rapes your women, gave its members 19 poll tickets………You tell me ,can we raise our honour by mingling with a community that kills our men ,our youth?”
Shah further said that ” When Modi becomes PM, Mulla Mulayam`s government in UP would fall on its own the very next day”
On April 3 in Shamali, Shah alleged to have said,
“This is the question of honour of western UP.It is time for revenge now…..batons ,guns,and swords belong to a bygone era.These days you take revenge by pressing the button ( on the EVM ).
On April 4, Shah exhorted Hats in Muzaffarnagar to “safeguard their honour.You have been treated as second class citizens. If you want to set aside self respect and practice casteism, I can not say anything….one can not guard his honour is useless.”

Now let us examine whether aforesaid statements fall within S.153A of Indian Penal Code which is a cognizable ,non bailable offence.
S.153 A (Promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion ,race ,place of birth ,residence ,language etc.and doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony :-
( 1 ) Whoever-
( a ) by words ,either spoken or written ,or by signs or by visible representations or otherwise promotes or attempts to promote ,on grounds of religion , race,place of birth ,residence ,language ,cast,or community or any other ground whatsoever, disharmony or feeling of enemity ,hatered or I’ll will between different religious ,racial ,language or regional groups or castes or communities,

Article 19 of the Constitution provides protection of certain rights regarding freedom of speech etc. which is guaranteed right of every citizen. The right of freedom of speech and expression is subject to the existing laws,interests of the sovereignty and integrity of India, Security is state, friendly relations with Foreign States, public order, decency and morality.
The Supreme Court of India in a recent Judgment on Muxaffarnagar riots gave the following finding,
“Thus, we prima-facie hold the state government responsible for being negligent at the initial stage in not anticipating the communal violence cans for taking necessary steps for its prevention”
Thus it was the state government which failed at the initial stage resulting in loss of life and properties.The state government should have quit the office if they were a responsible politicians.The initial hitch to take action against members of particular community added fuel to the fire.Not satisfied when fire spread ,they indulged in blame game ,started indiscriminate action which a matter of common knowledge.Different communities are kept under constant threat, a particular community is being coerced to come back to the party fold and reportedly they are coming back slowly under threat which they suffered under constant negligence by the state.
In this scenario, bold Amit Shah stood like a rock and exhorted their honour and advised them to shun violence and take the democratic route to achieve the desired goal of unseating the government which stood like a blind spectator.He made it clear that days of taking revenge by violent way are gone and the democratic revenge it to press the button of EVM only.
Amit Shah has the fundamental right to express himself fearlessly without any embargo except envisaged in the constitution.All Seculers are mortally scared by Modi Team who will not tolerate any nonsense of these rabid communalists who have always polerised the society in order to garner their votes.The ground from under their feet is slipping fast and Modi`s tsunami is taking charge of the nation.Even US is feeling the tremor ,is conspiring against Modi.At this crucial hours,we have remain firm behind Modi Team for a radical change in India.If we slip for any reason,country will slip into the dark era .
