While Com. Zafar sacrificed his life exposing the ugly face of PM Modi’s ‘Swachh Bharat’ campaign, the Rajasthan government is trying to misguide the masses regarding the murder of Com. Zafar.
On the basis of the post mortem report, the Rajasthan Chief Minister, police and government are trying to claim that Zafar’s death was a result of heart attack and the government personnel did not attack him. But it is clear from the statements of eyewitnesses as well as from the small video clip released by the officials themselves that Zafar did not fall down suddenly while on a morning walk and his killing was not an unfortunate ‘demise’. He never suffered from heart trouble or blood pressure. A few minutes before his death he was definitely arguing and clashing with government personnel in order to stop them from photographing and video-graphing women who were defecating. Several women have testified to the fact that he was beaten to death by the Municipal personnel when he stopped them from hounding and sexually harassing the women. The murder of Com Zafar by government personnel in the name of the Swachh Bharat campaign has brought to the surface many issues which show the oppressive and undemocratic character of this campaign.
