BJP MP arrested for murder of RTI activist


New Delhi, Nov 5 (IANS): The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Tuesday arrested Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) Gujarat parliamentarian Dinu Solanki in connection with the murder of RTI activist Amit Jethwa.

"Solanki, BJP MP from Junagadh, was questioned at the CBI headquarters (New Delhi) for seven hours and later arrested in connection with Jethwa's murder case," said a CBI official.

Jethwa, a Right to Information (RTI) and environment activist, was shot dead outside the Gujarat High Court July 20, 2010. He had filed numerous RTI applications and a PIL against illegal mining in the Gir forest region of Gujarat.

Gujarat Police have already put Solanki's nephew, Shiva, and five others in jail in that same case.

Jethwa's family claims the MP hatched the conspiracy to kill the activist. However, Gujarat Police gave a clean chit to Solanki.

Subsequently, a division bench of the Gujarat High Court ordered a CBI probe into the case Sep 25, 2012, and the CBI arrested Solanki Tuesday.

    there are two ways to become famous.
    Firstly by getting good marks in the class, first in sports, always front in social work.
    Secondly, the opposite of all the above, murdering somebody, and also
    walking naked on the main road &
    shi...g.
    Which one you prefer.?"
    I ed first option.
    Modi has achieved popularity by the second option.
    Does that makes a difference.? Both are famous anyway.

For God sake if you followed the second thoughts of your mother, then just imagine how our people would have reacted in the name of the sacred mother too!!!!! There is no shortcut for popularity. You have to achieve good marks or be a good sport man to gain popularity. Else you become an “Aam Admi” always talking about others but never fight in their own battle

    When Hitler, Muammar Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein rose to power in their respective countries, they did that by telling only half-truths to the public, and thus fooling the gullible public to believe in their philosophy. The same thing is happening with Namo's bla, bla, bla...Only people living in Gujarat know the truth. Most of the money pumped into Gujarat are by NRI's who are mostly businessmen abroad (Gujaratis are there all over the world), and they have to park their black money somewhere, so their logical idea is to invest in their home state. Even if all NRI's of Mangalore invest their money here, we too can become a Gujarat model irrespective of political party. Nothing great namo has done...

This type of terrorism is prevailing in Gujarat where three time winner Modi is ruling.People voted for development or out of fear? You vote me otherwise face the music!
