Amit Shah is an Indian politician and a key strategist of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He has served as India’s Minister of Home Affairs since 2019, making him a three-time Home Minister, and has been the country’s first Minister of Cooperation since 2021. Previously, he was the BJP President from 2014 to 2020, playing a crucial role in the party’s electoral successes.
A close aide of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Shah’s political career began with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and its student wing, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP). Shah joine the RSS in1982 and the BJP in 1987 and rose up to become a key figure in Gujarat politics. After the 2002 Gujarat assembly elections, he became the youngest minister in then Chief Minister Modi’s cabinet, holding 12 portfolios, including the Ministry of Home. Shah represented the Gujarat Legislative Assembly from Sarkhej (1997–2012) and Naranpura (2012–2017).
In 2017, he was elected to the Rajya Sabha from Gujarat, and in 2019, he was elected to the Lok Sabha from Gandhinagar. He took oath as a Lok Sabha member in June 2024.
Shah has been embroiled in several controversies, including accusations of involvement in extrajudicial killings during his tenure as Gujarat’s Home Minister and his alleged role in illegal surveillance. His handling of the inter-tribe conflict in Manipur, which began in 2023, has attracted criticism, with many questioning the government’s response to the escalating violence and the security situation in the region.
Anuj Loya is as much in the dark about what happened, as is the family alleging that he was murdered, as are the HC judges who said nothing was suspicious. None of them were witnesses. Anuj is entitled to saying whatever he wants to, without anyone questioning him. Likewise, the press is free to ask questions of the suspicious nature of the death. Most murders are not proven by a he-said-she-told quotes, so I don’t know why everyone wants to solve this case based on courts. If an independent and competent Police exists in India – BIG IF, only they can we get to the bottom of this matter. The new tampered registers do raise suspicions. Moreover, the more there’s resistance in independently probing this, the more Amit Shah will be considered guilty. If he has something to hide, ofcourse his lackeys are doing a terrible job of covering up. If he’s killed this man, Shah will get caught soon enough. It’s too big a crime. Hindu dharma will take care of it.
Judge Loya’s son suddenly does an about turn & reverses his earlier statement. Could possibly that he & family members face a threat on their lives or could have even been offered money. One can’t put this past Amit Shah who has no morals whatsoever, & can stoop to any level. The whole incident does not smell good.
But in the press conference video that I saw, the family friend who made much of the talking says they contacted Amit Shah and he organised the press conference. So isn’t it very clear that it’s a doctored one.
