To, Ms Lalitha Kumarmangalam, Chairperson, National Commission for Women, Delhi. 08-09-2016 Dear madam, Received your letter dated 5th September 2016. This letter is in the context of my column to which you have taken a strong objection and you seem to be very disturbed with the content of the column which was published on a very prestigious website - NDTV.com. Madam I know that no case can be made out against me still if you want to hang me, hang me. But let me bring it your notice that a far serious allegation which needed a similar attention and urgency from the NCW under your leadership. I hereby want to bring to your notice the fact that Mr Narendra Modi, the prime minister of India is married but it has been alleged that he was harassing a woman half his age when he was the chief minister of Gujarat. This woman isan architect and belonged to Bengaluru. IAS officer Pradeep Sharma happened to know of this matter and due to this reason he was later victimised by Modi. He was not only suspended but also arrested later. Mr. Sharma in an affidavit to the Supreme Court has submitted the entire detail of this matter which was widely reported by the media. The media has reported, “He (Sharma) had complete knowledge of the intimacy that Modi and the woman, originally from Bhuj in Gujarat, shared... the officer stated that he introduced Modi to the woman in 2004 ... During the inaugural function of a beautification project." In 2013, two news portals, Cobrapost.com and Gulail held a press conference in Delhi and made public audio tapes. It was claimed by two very eminent journalists with impeccable records that the CBI was in possession of audio tapes in which allegedly the present BJP president Amit Shah was heard monitoring the surveillance of this woman. Three government agencies were involved - the Gujarat police, the anti terrorist squad and the Jocal intelligence wing of the state, in this entire operation which was the blatant misuse of ‘the state apparatus without any legal authentication. In the audio tape which is in the public domain, it could be clearly heard that allegedly Amit Shah was keeping an eye on the minutest details about the woman's movement and her friend; he was getting information about the woman every minute, It could also be heard on tape that Mr Amit Shah was planning to send her male friend to jail. In the audio tapes it is clearly heard that he was doing this under the instructions of one "Saheb" who is alleged to be none other than Mr. Modi. Once the audio tape surfaced, a mysterious letter was distributed in the New Delhi BJP headquarters, it was claimed to be written by the father of the woman mentioned in the tape, that the woman's family had requested the then Modi Government to provide security to the woman. The authenticity of the letter was never proved and nobody believed the reason for the demand for security. Madam, every detail i have given above is in public domain and I am attaching the affidavit of Pradeep Sharma and also the audio clip (in a USB) of the snooping tapes as annexure. Dear madam, it is a very serious matter. A woman was harassed by men occupying constitutional positions; if it goes without being investigated and persons being unpunished, if found guilty, then the women of the country will lose faith in the NCW in particular and the justice system in general. ‘The demand of justice is that NCW under your august leadership should take cognizance of this matter seriously; send notices to both - Mr. Modi and Mr. Amit Shah; summon them to the NCW office for an explanation and further investigation just as you have sent a notice to me for writing a column in ae prestigious website - NDTV.com. Thope my complaint will be taken with utmost urgency by you. itis already rather late. Thanks and regards, ASHUTOSH
