Despite being passed twice by the Gujarat Assembly, the Gujarat Control of Organised Crime Act or GUJCOC has not been cleared by the centre .
The Union Home ministry, in reply to a petition in the Gujarat High Court, has said the legislation can't be cleared because it closely resembles the repealed POTA.
However, Chief Minister Narendra Modi is not deterred, he is trying his best to put pressure on the Centre
"I'm requesting the Gujarati community worldwide, send emails to the PM ask him to clear the bill. It's a good thing to do in a democracy," says Gujarat Chief Minister, Narendra Modi.
Elsewhere, he urged villagers to write postcards and letters to the PM, demanding that the central government clear the GUJCOC.
"All of you write letters to the PM. In Gujarati, Hindi, English. Whatever language you know and demand that this act be passed," he added
The NGO, Justice on Trial, which has filed a petition in the Gujarat High Court seeking to know why GUJCOC has not been cleared, says article 14 of the constitution is being violated.
"If such acts are in force in Andhra, Karnataka and other eight states of the country, then its an apparent breach of article 14 of the constitution. Equality is not just for people its for states as well," says Chairman, Justice on Trial, S M Soni.
GUJCOC Bill, as claimed is a tougher law against organized crime and terrorism.
