by Amit Shah were boycotted and shouted out. At this juncture, when the winning UP elections seemed like a dis- tant dream, the BJP upped the ante on terrorists and border security. Uri terror attacks happened where 19 Indian sol- diers were killed. Security was ques- tioned but even before proper investigations were conducted as to who attacked Uri, government declared Pakistan as the perpetrator. Pakistan immediately declined and even offered to have an object body such as UN as a non--partisan investigative body to find out who killed Indian soldiers in Uri.

The police claimed that Ishrat Jahan and her associates were Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operatives in- volved in a plot to assassinate the Chief Minister of Gujarat, Narendra Modi. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishrat _Jahan_case). The CBI declared that the encounter was staged, but did not com- ment on whether Ishrat Jahan was a LeT associate or not.

Clinton speaks of equality of all ethnic groups and races, taxing the rich, global inclusiveness and women’s rights. She looks confident and knows her facts. She makes me feel safe and secure. For now her promises looks much better than Trump’s mis- placed fear tactics, misogynistic state- ments, racial rowdiness, fascist sentiments and fake enragement over immigration. That brings me to our PM Naren- dra Modi, and the game he is playing with his well-publicized “surgical strikes” through the Indian army under his leadership on Pakistan’s terror camps. Here, one should not forget that Modi is lovingly termed as Mr. Feku by a lot of people from Patels in Gujarat to students in JNU, Delhi. Many doubt the authenticity of his degrees and his claims of Gujarat Model. His ministers themselves are involved in many al- leged fake stories. Just as he did in 2002 as the CM of Gujarat right before elections by raking up Hindu-Muslim riots, thus seemingly becoming the trumped up “Hindu Hri- daya Samrat,” (winner of Hindu Hearts), he is now notching up the game by raking in the Jammu and Kashmir Uri terrorist attacks and Pak- istan conflict just before the prestigious Uttar Pradesh elections. To any objec- tive viewer all this seems a well- planned strategy by Modi-Shah duo, much as they did in Gujarat. Remember the case of Ishrat Jahan, a 19-year-old student killed in encounter by the po- lice? Those killed in the incident were Ishrat Jahan Raza, a 19-year-old woman

Meanwhile, even a month ahead of Uri attack, arti- cles appeared in Times of India pro- claiming that BJP is planning some security attacks in Jammu and Kashmir to facilitate UP elections. An overt sur- gical strike by the Indian Army was an- nounced. And the opposition saw red! Knowing Modi-Shah’s strategies well, they took to criticisms of the BJP lead- ership, while praising the Army itself. Doubts were raised regarding Modi’s intentions.
