Times of India of Tuesday, October 28th 2003 has headlined a story entitled “Mallika Sarabhai Is Being Framed” and it has put the Government of India and the State Government of Gujarat in a very bad light. As you very well know that Dr. Mallika Sarabhai has been very outspoken in condemning the massacre of innocent human beings in the State of Gujarat after the Godhra incident of February 2002. Dr. Sarabhai has refused to withdraw her case against the State Government of Gujarat for lack of failure to prosecute the perpetrators of the senseless violence and also the failure of the State to provide adequate relief and rehabilitation of the survivors in the Supreme Court. Dr. Sarabhai has categorically denied any wrongdoing and the charges of human trafficking against a person of her stature is absurd. Despite this she did co-operate fully with all the inquiries of the authorities. Efforts of Gujarat Government to deny her bail is gross miscarriage of justice. Many prominent citizens of India such as Rajmohan Gandhi , Kuldeep Nair, Shabana Azmi, Asghar Ali Engineer, J B D’souza, Dolly Thakore Alyque Padamsee B G Verghese have already protested this outrageous effort to silence one of the few voices of sanity in the State of Gujarat. We respectfully ask you to take immediate steps to reverse the misguided effort to force Dr Mallika Sarabhai to withdraw her public interest litigation, otherwise irreparable harm will be done to India’s reputation that got tarnished in all parts of the world. We the undersigned Non-Resident Indians both individuals and organizations are awaiting your confirmation that the right steps have been taken to set the wrong that has been done to Dr Mallika Sarabhai.
