An oath against terrorism is being taken in government offices of Gujarat. Anti-Terrorism Day is celebrated every year on 21 May to keep the citizens of the country away from terrorism and violence. Under this day, anti-terrorism oath is being taken by employees and participants in all government offices and private units of Gandhinagar. When elections come, extremists also start coming to Gujarat.

Anti-Terrorism Day
Former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated in a bomb blast on 21 May 1991. Rajiv Gandhi went to Sriperumbudur (Tamil Nadu) to attend an election rally. Before the rally, Rajiv Gandhi was walking while accepting the greetings of the people. Then the terrorist organization Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) killed him with a suicide bomb by hiding explosives. After this, the VP Singh government announced to celebrate May 21 as Anti-Terrorism Day in memory of Rajiv Gandhi. Since then this day is celebrated.

Earlier in 2002, there were attacks in Godhra before the elections.

In the subsequent elections, the Gujarat Police kept killing the people who came to kill BJP leaders, calling them terrorists.

A terrorist incident has come to light in Gujarat before Terrorism Day. The Home Minister tried to make the issue of terrorism an election issue in the Lok Sabha elections.

On 13 September 2022, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that despite having such a large sea and land border, not having a single terrorist incident in Gujarat in a year is a major achievement, this has also strengthened the anti-drug campaign of the Government of India.

On 4 May 2024, Amit Shah said in Bodeli that Narendra Modi’s government has wiped out terrorists from India. Terrorism is over.

The Gujarat government had made several efforts to pass the GUJKOTOK Act against terrorism in Gujarat. In 12 years, GUJKOTOC was passed in the Gujarat Legislative Assembly under the new name of The Gujarat Control of Terrorism and Organised Crime Bill, 2015 with minor amendments. Police in place of judges and 120 days of detention remain controversial.

Despite this, extremists are coming to Gujarat.

What is terrorism?

Terrorism has been prevalent throughout history. Until now only governments had the weapons of organised violence. Terrorists have broken these leases. It challenges the legitimacy of the government and its actions. Violence to achieve a political or religious objective. It has been carried out by political organisations, nationalist and hereditary groups, revolutionaries, the military and the government’s private police.

On 20 May 2024, four terrorists were arrested from Adani Airport in Ahmedabad in Gujarat. A native of Sri Lanka and a terrorist of Islamic State. It was not the Gujarat Police but the spy agency of the central government that asked to arrest the four people. He was taken to an undisclosed location and questioned. Some people are involved in Ahmedabad and Gujarat.
