Ahmedabad, 12 March 2024
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Ashram Bhoomi Vandana’ program in Ahmedabad on Dandi March Day on Tuesday, March 12, 2024. That is, for Gandhi, the symbol of simplicity, the government has spent Rs. The new Gandhi Ashram worth Rs 1246 crore was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 12 March 2024. Modi laid the foundation of a luxury project worth crores of rupees on the land of Mahatma, the symbol of simplicity. Which is against all the principles of Gandhiji. This plan is contrary to the simplicity of Gandhi.
Mahatma Gandhi Sabarmati Ashram Reconstruction Project started. But it left behind many controversies.
The foundation is still under construction before the work begins.
The work of a 10-room dyeing school and a weaving school was started months ago. It has been several months since the renovation work started here. Gau a school museum has been built. The shed has been removed. 45 houses are safe. 24 houses have been demolished. Other buildings built after 1951 have been demolished. 24 houses which have been demolished. The work on the project may have started, but the foundation of the work has been laid by Modi. The construction of the new ashram will take two years. Many tenders have been issued. 10. Renovation of the Khadi weaving house is a long time ago. The excavation has been completed.
Vimal Patel, who owns an architecture company, has been given the job by Modi like Hamesh. The design and architect of every project of Modi is made by the same company. Which works to make Modi’s name bigger. It works to enhance Modi’s ego.
This ashram is a witness to the policies, decisions and words of Gandhiji as well as to the high ideals, values and simple life of the leaders of the country and the world. Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel was also present in this ceremony of Ashram Bhoomi Vandana.
Gandhiji believed in simplicity and believed that there should be no monument to him. However, undermining his words, Rs. Modi has made a project worth Rs 1200 crore. Gandhiji had given this ashram to the Harijan community. But now it has become the BJP government.
Khadi stores were covered
Before Modi’s arrival, curtains have been put up to prevent the Khadi store from being visible. Big posters were put up. Khadi shops have been covered. What has been ignored here is that Khadi was Gandhiji’s main goal of self-employment.
majestic dome
A luxurious dome was built for Modi in the grounds of Abhay Ghat, the mausoleum of former Prime Minister Morarji Desai. It was made so big that it could seat 6 thousand people.
Sabarmati Ashram
After returning to India from South Africa, Gandhiji laid the foundation of an ashram on the banks of the Sabarmati river in Ahmedabad in 1917. It was the main center of the freedom movement. Made strategies for non-violent freedom movement against the British and awakened the countrymen for independence.
Prime Minister’s vision
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has special feelings and respect for Mahatma Gandhi. This is what Sardar claims. Comparing Modi with Gandhiji, the government says that the Prime Minister’s words as an advocate of peace in this time of war are reminiscent of Mahatma Gandhi. Even if they are committing violence against farmers. The Prime Minister envisioned this project to reconstruct the Sabarmati Ashram so that people can experience first-hand the ideals and simple life of Mahatma Gandhi. The government is saying this officially.
The government says that it will become a world class monument, but right now it is a world class monument.
Spread over 55 acres, this project aims to establish the identity of Sabarmati Ashram by developing it in and around it. The government says so, but the identity of the ashram dates back to 1917 i.e. 106 years old.
The cover of the Ashram may be new, but its ‘soul’ is the same. The government says so, but now the soul of Gandhiji’s ideas will no longer exist. Now the soul of the Sangh will remain.
20 old houses will be conserved, 13 houses will be renovated and 3 houses will be redeveloped while maintaining the simplicity and monuments of the main ashram. There are 46 houses and apartments. The Gujarat government has already said in the court that Hriday Kunj, Magan Niwas, Meera Cottage, Vinoba Bhave Kutir, Guest House and 4 other houses built on 2.50 acres of land in the development will not be taken over by the government.
The government has taken illegal possession of other 45 houses.
A pure, clean, peaceful and green environment will be created. But it would be awesome. In which there will be no situation like 1917. The ashram will not be like the original ashram. There will be expensive and precious things. The views of the Sangh will be put forth. There will be Modi’s picture everywhere, Modi’s film will be shown.
There are memories of the life of Mahatma Gandhi who gave the message of truth, non-violence and peace. She will meet.
The redevelopment work will be full of sensitivity and emotion. So says the government, but no sympathy has been shown here, many heirs of the families living in the ashram since the time of Gandhiji have had to become victims of injustice, intimidation, coercion and fraud.
It is the homeland of freedom fighters, a place of self-discovery and a school of life values. Aha, now you yourself will be the ruler of Modi and the values of the Sangh.
The fragrance of Gandhiji’s legacy, simplicity and thoughts is still present in every corner of this place. There is government dictatorship here now. Laws and regulations are broken here.
The Ashram has been a witness to Gandhiji’s high ideals, values and simple life. Now all of them are not allowed to come here. By creating its new trust, the government illegally merged 12 trusts. Rights have been taken away. Now the government trust has entered here illegally and taken possession of 95 properties. While working in the project, the IPS officer threatened many people here and told them to take whatever money the Mamlatdar gives. Otherwise nothing else will be available. Such bullying was done here. That’s why most of the people have left with money or flats.
trustee responsible
Gandhi Memorial Trust and trustees are sitting silent. If some work is done by Gandhiashram Trust and the government can help in it, then it was fine. But it is not appropriate for the government to step into Gandhi Ashram in any way. The British never even set foot in the ashram. There is a need to maintain Gandhi Ashram as it is. The trustees who approve renewals are most responsible. Who gave the government permission to enter illegally?
Karthikeya Sarabhai, trustee of the Gandhi Preservation and Memorial Trust, is responsible for Gandhi’s demise. He has always supported the saffron British BJP. Modi was defended. Gandhiji’s ideas have been murdered by Kartikeya Sarabhai and Sudarshan Iyengar.
Neither the trust nor the trustees opposed it. The government entered the ashram illegally without anyone’s permission.
This project is against the principles of Gandhiji, Modi’s special IAS officer K Kailash Nathan. IK Patel and IPS Gautam Parmar have done the work. Repeated representations have been made to him in this regard.
A notice was issued by the Central Government requesting various organizations running on the Gandhiashram land to cooperate ‘for the purpose of development’. Notice was given to the residents of Gandhi Ashram. This was only an indirect threat. The Trust will cooperate with the government in the development of Gandhiashram. There were no other details in the notice. There is no clarification in the notice about what kind of development they want to do, what the plans are, what the expectations are. However, the NAFT trustees were ready to cooperate with the government.
Khadi Sanstha Trust has 40,000 square meters of land. In which staff, laboratory, charkha museum, parts of charkha are made. This notice has been given by Khadi and Village Industries Commission.
Sudarshan Iyengar, trustee of Sabarmati Ashram Conservation and Memorial Trust, is most responsible for this. They destroyed Gandhi Ashram and also destroyed Gujarat Vidyapeeth. There should be no changes in buildings like Hridaykunj, Meerakutir, Vinoba Bhavekutir, we can say this on the basis of the court, but whether this will happen is a question.
The peace of Gandhi Ashram should not be affected, this is an unwritten rule. Yet it is going to be violated. Like the effigy of Sardar in Kevadiya near Narmada Dam, here too there will be grandeur only, not the simplicity of Gandhi.
Development has snatched away the simplicity and peace of Gandhi Ashram. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is consecrating the ashram. Author Hemant Shah says, BJP is the party whose members call Gandhi’s assassination Gandhism and many of them worship his murderers. Gradually, people from Gandhiji’s opposition groups came into Gandhiji’s institutions and organizations. BJP’s saffron is waving on Gandhi. Journalist Prakash Shah says, if there are big buildings, grandeur etc. then it is not development of Gandhi, it is destruction.
Journalist and great grandson of Gandhiji, Tushar Gandhi said in harsh words that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has dug Bapu’s grave. In the name of creating something new.
Government rehabilitation policy
A total of 298 families, settled by Gandhiji and who had entered illegally, lived here. The government has not made any policy for rehabilitation here. Gives money but there is no standard. In whose name so much money has been given. Earlier it was decided that if there is a house and only one family is living in it then they will have to vacate the house by taking Rs 1000. 60 lakhs and two families in a house Rs. It was decided to give Rs 90 lakh. In return for doing this, someone got Rs 1 crore and someone Rs 1 crore. One and a half crore rupees have been given. Houses are also given in the same way. 24 people have been given land to build houses and money has been given to build houses on it. Rs 25 lakh has also been given. The work on this building has not started yet. Plot of 105 times to 23 people. A check of Rs 25 lakh has been given. Pits are dug. The houses have not been built. In this the government has adopted a policy of partiality. Here is an arbitrary amount for the driver of a former Chief Minister. Here an arbitrary amount has been given to a special person of Modi.
When the money was given, the government’s policy changed. Was constantly changing. Since there is no compensation policy many unethical practices have taken place. Some have been given cash bribes.
There were 350 houses there. Rupee. It is believed that Rs 150 to 200 crore has been given. The government has not given its details.
In the Sabarmati Gandhi Ashram Development Project, revered Mahatma Gandhi has evicted the ashram residents from the ashram by giving them calculation imbalance compensation without any compensation. Rehabilitation is done. The ashram residents gave me some support in this project. Even now some ashram residents have not got justice.
About 300 families lived there. Out of which, except 4, all the families have been evicted by giving them money or flats. Now 4 people live here. In which 2 families are former house mothers of women’s hostel. Natwarlal Parmar’s daughter Durgaben Parmar is fighting in the court. The government has given him Rs. Was ready to give Rs 90 lakh in cash. But they are claiming that they have 4 families. So they are demanding 4 houses.
Krunal Rathore’s family has also approached the High Court for compensation. He lives in the bungalow of Jamnalal Bajaj. In which Bajaj Kutir resides. This building does not belong to Gandhi Ashram but to the then industrialist Bajaj.
Karan Soni also lives in Jamna’s hut. He has a family of three. The court rejected his appeal. Two checks of Rs 90 lakh have been given. He went to court but did not get justice like others before him. Therefore they are going to appeal before a bench of two judges. The government issued a notice for Jamna’s hut.
rehabilitation committee
A rehabilitation committee consisting of government representatives and local 3 members was formed but the committee was dissolved before the rehabilitation was completed. APS Gautam Parmar faced strong opposition due to his arbitrary attitude. In lieu of the building, 4 shelter buildings and hall buildings have been given on Shastri Nagar Road. There are 24 people who have given plots to people who want to live behind the ashram. Actually 45 people wanted to build houses here.
But the police officer threatened to show force and ordered to vacate the house. Everyone was told to take the money and vacate the house.
On March 25, 2023, committee member JB Desai threatened to use bulldozers.
The police officer was threatening some people by calling them. There was an atmosphere of fear in the ashram. There was internal division among the ashram residents. The officers were working in a conspiratorial manner.
The people here agitated for two years. Many applications have been given to Ahmedabad Collector Dhawal Patel.
three officers
The entire project is being handled by K Kailash Nathan, Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister. In which AAS MI Patel and IPS Gautam Parmar are in charge. These three officers do not follow Gandhiji’s principles at all. Here these three officers have agreed. No transparency is maintained. The policy that comes to his mind has been implemented. They are continuously ignoring Gandhiji’s principles.
If they did not want to take the check in return for vacating the house, the check was forcibly deposited in their account.
Tushar Gandhi went to court. His application was rejected.
violation of law
The Right to Information Act has been violated. Details of the displaced people here were not given. He replied that he had not received the RTI. Many people fought against it and gained information. Ahmedabad Collector has replied.
Charity laws are openly violated here. Many people were threatened by the authorities.
Housewife Manisha Parmar demolished it. Went to give Rs 60 lakh in cash. His house was demolished in the presence of the Panchas. They did not want to leave this house. Now he lives in a hostel. His belongings have been kept in a flat and the government has also issued him a notice to collect the rent for those belongings.
BJP’s son-in-law
A seat has been created against Jayesh Patel and Trust. Chairman and former Charity Commissioner Vinay Vyas has obtained all the evidence. An investigation committee has been formed on the orders of Amit Shah.
There an income tax raid was conducted on the daughter of a leader. Then an inquiry committee was formed against Patel. The government has given them a lot of land here. Received a lot of money by receiving foreign donations. Many of his people have been given house finance here or at the behest of Kailashnathan. That’s why Amit Shah dislikes this thing.
In 1995, an illegal trust named Manav Sadhna was registered in house number 136 opposite Pandit Chali. Incredible progress has been made in 28 years. Which can be proved from the bank account book. Slums are showrooms of human exploitation, whose main source of income is extortion of money from foreign countries in the name of the children of the poor.
Viren Joshi is the main trustee, who became the trustee of Harijan Ashram Trust at the time of Ishwarbhai Patel’s death by making various schemes, which were completely false. Because the owner of the trust became the family of Ishwar Patel. Manav Sadhna Trust should be told how the land is allotted. Immediate action was demanded. His office is on the land of his cowshed.
Gandhiji had said in a meeting that RSS had a hand in the communal riots that took place after independence.
Khadi Gramodyog Prayog Samiti separated from Sabarmati Harijan Ashram Trust and became a separate trust.
Out of them, five different trusts were formed, namely Sabarmati Conservation and Memorial Trust, Sabarmati Ashram Gaushala Trust, Gujarat Khadi Gramodyog Mandal and Khadi Gramodyog Prabha Samiti.
Gandhiji stayed here for 13 years. Modi wants to stay here forever. after his death. The Sangh has no attachment to Gandhi. Even today he continues to oppose Gandhiji. As a part of this, Narendra Modi, who is an RSS pracharak, has made a pre-poll show of making the ashram an RSS base.
Mahatma Gandhi was the founder of Sabarmati Harijan Ashram. Now it will be said that all this has happened to say that the founder of the new ashram was Sangh pracharak Narendra Modi.
