After skull cap row, Gujarat police makes dummy 'terrorists' shout pro-Islamic slogan


Narmada, Jan 2(DNA): A video of police mock drill showing dummy militants shouting pro-Islamic slogan emerged on Thursday in Gujarat, a day after controversy erupted over men, playing the part of terrorists, being made to wear skullcaps in a similar exercise in Surat.

Reacting to the Surat episode that came to light yesterday, Chief Minister Anandi Patel admitted it as a "mistake" to show people posing as terrorists in the drill in skullcaps.

The latest video is of another anti-terror mock drill at Narmada dam site in Kevadia area of Narmada district. It shows policemen holding two dummy terrorists who were shouting "take our lives, if you want. Islam Zindabad (long live Islam)".

When contacted by PTI, Narmada Superintendent of Police Jaypalsinh Rathore said an inquiry will be conducted into the issue.

"I came to know about this incident (of projecting terrorists as Muslims) through media. If such an incident has happened, we will conduct an inquiry and take necessary actions against those responsible," he said.

"The mock drill was a routine police exercise which was conducted a week ago in Kevadia area," Rathore added.

As the Surat episode generated controversy and invited criticism from several quarters, including from the chief of Gujarat BJP Minority Cell, Patel told a TV channel it is wrong to link religion with terrorism.

"It's wrong to link religion with terrorism. The issue has been resolved and the matter should be put to rest now. The mistake has been rectified," she said.

The anti-terror drills were conducted ahead of the two high-profile events being held in the state - Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (January 7 to 9) and Vibrant Gujarat Investors Summit (January 11 to 13) - both in Gandhinagar.

    To be fair, Guju police should also practice with some terrorists wearing chaddies and safron head gear.

    Hardcore terroirsts arrested from noida wearing skull cap arrested..,whose Conscience,Self-respect
    is hurt Bangalore police mock drill using ppl who wore skull cap but media never highlighted

    In UP muzafarnagar horrific honour killing as Hasan Sheikh killed his 19-year-old daughter for loving a Hindu, Ravi. No protests, uproar
    Using skull caps in mock drill is insult to Islam. But of course mocking Lord shive running was not
    in movie PK at all an insult. Vishwaroopam was a movie, then why Kamal Hasan was forced to apologise 2 Muslims 4 hurting sentiments Most Bollywood crap is funded by "Mafia" which lays conditions to abuse Hindu icons...

    To say,Gujarat is a Experiment place ground for rss chaddi. All nuisance communal clash first they will try in their so called home town Gujarath to watch reaction from inside and surrounding INDIA. Whatever, next election they will lose their power from Gujarath.Because,most of the business community never look for any communal clash and even major qualified INDIANS want INDIA to be NUMBER ONE in world a Super Power. If a non communal come to power. Definitely with in TEN years period we will reach the station and NUMBER ONE IN WORLD FOR EVER.
    Hope for the same.

    Jai Hind.

    Skull cap is a symbol of closeness to almighty.
    Unfortunately now the world is recognizing it as a symbol of terror. This is just becos of some misguided people who terrorize & threaten people to convert or to be killed!
    These misguided people don't believe in respecting other religions or to live in hormony

    Terrorist are frustrated people belong to all community like hindu, sikh, and muslim . In other word they do not have any religion. In the case of malegaon blast case shidvi arrested and is under investigation, smajuatha train explosive Hindu terrosit are involved in name of khalistan sikh coummuity is involed and so mulsim. Now safronised gujarat only framing muslim community in particular, is shows partisan attitude of govnt,., and gujarat police. Now my friends may mention that number is more in muslim community, but there is a reason behind it, several years passed the culprits of babri masjid demolition are not booked and punished. Although then govt, headed by kalyan singh in U P had given undertaking to court that masjid wont demolished but it was other way. Man like advani has lead the demolition is free man now.. if this the justice one get one will definitely act violently for justice.

    Its politically incorrect, stupid, but in line with reality. One can deny all they want but from asia to afrca, europe to america, we all know what is happening now..People should rather spend their time in counseling their extremist brothers and sisters than finding fault with other religions!
