Amendments will take away GUJCOC's 'teeth and nails': Modi

Striking an aggressive posture, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi rejected the amendments suggested by the Centre to GUJCOC, saying it would amount to taking away the "teeth and nails" of the legislation.

"The amendments suggested by the Centre amount to taking away the teeth and nails of the Gujarat Control of Organised Crime Act (GUJCOC)," he told reporters on the sidelines of the BJP National Executive meeting in New Delhi.

Modi said if necessary, the Gujarat government would take the GUCOC Bill back to state assembly.

He said Bill was passed by the assembly on the basis of guidelines from the Center to combat organized crime.

The Union Cabinet yesterday returned the controversial GUJCOC Bill passed by the Gujarat Assembly to the state, saying that without three key amendments it could not be sent for Presidential assent.
