Let us see the hate campaign full of
malicious lies by TruthofGujarat against Modi.
“Let us now compare the lie spelt out
in his latest blog expressing anguish and pain for the poor riot victims.”
Mukul Sinha says Modi expressing pain and anguish is a lie.
Let us see what was done for the
victims.
The Gujarat Government spent a lot of
money for providing relief to the riot victims. None other than the UPA
Government’s MoS for Home Sriprakash Jaiswal said this in the Rajya Sabha that
too in a written reply on 11 May 2005. He said an amount of Rs 1.5 lakh was
paid by the government to the next of kin of each person killed and Rs 5,000,
Rs 15,000, Rs 25,000 and Rs 50,000 to those injured up to 10, 30, 40 and 50 per
cent respectively.
In addition, Jaiswal said relief
was also extended by the state government to the victims of the riots under the
heads of cash doles and assistance for household kits, foodgrains to Below
Poverty Line (BPL) families in affected areas, housing assistance, rebuilding
earning assets, rehabilitation of small business, assistance to industries/shop
and hotel and so on.
The state government, Jaiswal said has
informed that a total of Rs 204.62 crore has been incurred by it towards relief
and rehabilitation measures. The Gujarat government has also informed that they
had published the data as recommended by the NHRC, he added.
And the Gujarat Government in an
advertisement given in weekly India Today dated 6 May 2002 said-
“ At the rate of Rs 30 per person, the
Government is spending Rs 35 lakh a day on providing foodgrains to the 1.1
lakh inmates of the 99-odd relief camps in the state, 47 of them in Ahmedabad.
The relief operations at
the camps are being directly looked after by IAS officers of the rank of
secretary to the state Government.
The camps in Ahmedabad have been
divided into six groups. Each group is being monitored by a bureaucrat of the
rank of secretary. The secretaries have been looking after the minutest
problems of the inmates. Teachers were deputed in each camp to help the
children prepare for the exams and the state Health Department has been taking
special steps to look after the well being of the inmates. In order to
rehabilitate the rural inmates, the Government has floated the Sant Kabir
Awas Yojana as per the directions of Prime Minister A. B. Vajpayee. The
scheme will enable the inmates to build houses.”(And in these camps were 1
lakh Muslims and 40,000 Hindus as well).
Not just this, the then Central
Government of Atal Bihari Vajpayee also gave several packages to the victims-
both Hindus and Muslims. He announced one on 4 April 2002 on his visit to Gujarat
and gave another one on 1 May 2002 of Rs 150 crore
