Jaipur - Rejecting Salman Rushdie's charge that it had concocted the
story about a plot to eliminate him to keep him away from India,
Rajasthan government on Sunday said the information was provided by
the Intelligence Bureau.
"It was the input of Intelligence Bureau on the basis of which the
organisers advised Rushdie not to attend the Jaipur Literature
Festival. The state government did not speak or asked Rushdie to come
to Jaipur," a senior Rajasthan government official said on condition
of anonymity.
"It was brought to our knowledge on Sunday that Rushdie through
Twitter had said that the Rajasthan police tried to keep him away
from the festival. It is absolutely wrong," he said.
In the wake of controversy over Rushdie's visit and protest reading
of the banned Satanic Verses at the literary festival in Jaipur,
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Saturday assured that no
disturbances will be allowed and adequate security arrangements have
been made.
"The government has made proper security arrangements and the
government will look into any other aspect related to the security,"
he told reporters after attending a training camp of district and
block level committees here.
"Nobody would want to cause disturbance at such an event," he said
adding that Rushdie was free to come to India.
Announcing his cancellation in a message on the first day of the
literary event that kicked off on Friday, the Booker Prize-winning
author had said he had been told by intelligence sources in
Maharashtra and Rajasthan that "paid assassins" from the Mumbai
underworld may be on their way to Jaipur to "eliminate" him.
Rushdie claimed that this input prompted him to scrap his planned
visit to the country.
The author today tweeted, "Rajasthan police invented plot to keep
away Rushdie' I've investigated, & believe that I was indeed lied to.
I am outraged and very angry."

About the terrorist Goon Squad:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
As everyone knows, a goon is a bully or thug who terrorizes or tries
to do away with opposition.
"Myself, Mallu. Yourself?" (V. Bhattathiri) <***@gmail.com>
tries his best to be a bully -- telling others what and when to post,
where to post and where not to post, deliberately publishing lies
about others, stalking and abusing them with hate speech -- but fails
miserably. He is really stressed out, and like his lap dog Prem
Thomas (who currently posts as "P. Rajah" <***@this.com>, and issues
*death threats* to people), is priming himself for conditions such as
stroke and heart disease. Others in the Goon Squad include
Dayashankar M. Joshi "DMJoshi" <***@gmail.com> who displays
unquestioning obedience to Goon Squad thugs, and the instigator who
posts as "Bholu" <***@hotmail.com>
