India: all talk and no evidence

[voiceofaa]

THE Indian government and the media have been accusing Pakistan of plotting the Nov 26 Mumbai terrorist attacks since the time when shots were still being fired and not a single terrorist was arrested. So it is all talk and no evidence.

There are some factors which can help unmask the actors responsible for Mumbai mayhem. The following day (Nov 27), elections were scheduled to be held in the key state of Madhya Pradesh and in Rajasthan on Dec 4. In both states the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party is in power.

Indian voters were also going to elect local governments on Nov 29 in Delhi, which has been ruled by the Congress party for two consecutive terms.

Incumbent administrations in Indian states often do badly in elections. Obviously, the BJP wanted to retain power in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan and regain its hold on Delhi by defeating the Congress. Elections were also held in the states of Chhattisgarh (at present ruled by the BJP) on Nov 14 and Mizoram on Dec 2.

The main fight for political supremacy in Mizoram is between the ruling Mizo National Front, the main opposition Congress party, and the newly-formed United Democratic Alliance of various regional parties.

In Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir, polls are scheduled to be held from Nov 17 to Dec 24 in seven phases.

The deteriorating security situation was a consideration with voters because India had seen a series of bomb blasts in the past few months, in addition to rising inflation and increasing prices of essentials, including foodstuff.

The state elections are being seen as a mini referendum ahead of national polls scheduled to be held by next May.

The Congress is looking to return to power for the next five years in Lok Sabha polls while the BJP is fighting to defeat it.

Another factor: The killing of Maharashtra anti terrorism squad chief Hemant Karkare, who had arrested Hindu extremists about a month ago in the Sept 29 Malegaon bomb blast case, was another factor to ponder over the Mumbai terror attacks.

The arrest of Hindu extremists by Mr Karkare and his team had added a new twist to the entire discourse on terror and religion.

The ATS had arrested Lt Col Srikant Purohit on Nov 5 in connection with the Malegaon blasts for questioning.

The ATS was accused of being used as a tool to target the Sangh Parivar. The BJP, Rashtrya Swayamsevak Singh and Vishwa Hindu Parishad leaders, among others from the Hindu nationalist brigade, accused the ATS of being on a witch-hunt.

Even, the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate, L. K. Advani, had demanded a change in the ATS team and a judicial inquiry into the torture allegations made by Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, a key suspect in the Malegaon case.

Additional commissioner Ashok Kamte, a key officer of the Maharashtra police, and Vijay Salaskar, one of the leading police encounter specialists of India, who had killed 75 dreaded criminals, were also shot dead by terrorists.

The question arises: Was Mr Karkare, who had arrested Hindu extremists, an enemy or a friend of Muslims? How is it possible for Muslims, be they Indian or Pakistani, to kill an officer who was unmasking terrorists with Hindutvawadi connections?

Keeping these factors in view, it is not difficult to come to a conclusion that who had benefited from the Mumbai terrorist attacks.

The BJP tried to influence the state election results and the Hindu extremists managed to sabotage investigations into the Malegaon bomb blast case. Malegaon is a communally sensitive Muslim dominated town.

Furthermore, according to Congress leader and Board of Control for Cricket in India spokesman Rajiv Shukla, of about 200 people killed in the Mumbai attacks, 80 were Muslims. Were Muslims the killers of Muslims?

Former chief minister of Indian occupied Kashmir and National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah has also ruled out Pakistan’s had hand in the Mumbai attacks.

One question which always comes in my mind since the day i saw some glimps of StarShit, that whether they're Hinduism inspired Muslims or Talibanized Hindus ?




Muslim extremists start wearing such Zionist's Bands ? which represents hinduism i guess

 

[Beskar]

If you look closely at the gunman's wristband, it's not actually a single band, but multiple, different wristbands.

Kind of resembles .....

I saw this band in one of my officemate's hand in dubai, it's actually not a band itself, it's a bunch of yellow/red threads...... like if we add 20 30 layers of thread and band it like wrist band, just like people from hindu community "Brahmans" do for their chest-band

and yes.....Rakhi festival is just passed few months back

^^^You guys still are not smelling the coffee. Why does GoP acting on Let/JuD without evidence then. There is enough evidence and it has been shared with other countries except for Pakistan for the obvious reason that GoI doesn't trust GoP. Probably, it will be shared in coming days so that these guys be hand-over to India.

What is your obsession with the wrist band? His father accepts that the gun man is his son and your "kalava" theory proved wrong.

KARACHI, Dec 11: The targeting of Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jamaatud Dawa and the rounding up of the activists belonging to the two jihadi organisations appear to have been triggered by information originating in India following the capture of one of the 10 men who attacked several targets in Mumbai towards the end of last month.

During the course of Dawn’s own investigations last week our reporters were able to locate a family who claimed to be the kin of the arrested young man in Mumbai.

The sole survivor among the 10 attackers was named as Ajmal Kasab and was supposed to belong to the village Faridkot in the Punjab. Media organisations such as the BBC and now the British newspaper Observer have done reports trying to ascertain the veracity of claims appearing in the media that the young man had a home there.

On Friday last, the BBC reported unusual activity in Faridkot near Deepalpur. A BBC correspondent located a house in the village, the then inhabitants of which carried the surname of Kasab (or Qasab as the word is often spelt here). But the residents denied any link with either Ajmal or with any Amir Kasab, the name of Ajmal’s father as reported by some of the media.

At the weekend, the Observer in England claimed that it had managed to locate the house everyone was looking for so desperately. Its correspondent said he had got hold of the voters’ roll which had the names of Amir Kasab and his wife, identified as Noor, as well as the numbers on the identity cards the couple carried.

Even though the news stories by both BBC and the Observer made a mention of the LeT, some television channels in Pakistan suggested that a connection between Mumbai and Faridkot could not be established beyond a shadow of doubt.

However, the man who said he was Amir Kasab confirmed to Dawn that the young man whose face had been beamed over the media was his son.

For the next few minutes, the fifty-something man of medium build agonized over the reality that took time sinking in, amid sobs complaining about the raw deal the fate had given him and his family.

“I was in denial for the first couple of days, saying to myself it could not have been my son,” he told Dawn in the courtyard of his house in Faridkot, a village of about 2,500 people just a few kilometres from Deepalpur on the way to Kasur. “Now I have accepted it.

“This is the truth. I have seen the picture in the newspaper. This is my son Ajmal.”

Variously addressed as Azam, Iman, Kamal and Kasav, the young man, apparently in his 20s, is being kept in custody at an undisclosed place in Mumbai.

Indian media reports ‘based on intelligence sources’ said the man was said to be a former Faridkot resident who left home a frustrated teenager about four years ago and went to Lahore.

After his brush with crime and criminals in Lahore, he is said to have run into and joined a religious group during a visit to Rawalpindi.

Along with others, claimed the Indian media, he was trained in fighting. And after a crash course in navigation, said Amir Kasab, a father of three sons and two daughters, Ajmal disappeared from home four years ago.

“He had asked me for new clothes on Eid that I couldn’t provide him. He got angry and left.”

While Amir was talking, Ajmal’s two “sisters and a younger brother” were lurking about. To Amir’s right, on a nearby charpoy, sat their mother, wrapped in a chador and in a world of her own. Her trance was broken as the small picture of Ajmal lying in a Mumbai hospital was shown around. They appeared to have identified their son. The mother shrunk back in her chador but the father said he had no problem in talking about the subject.

Amir Kasab said he had settled in Faridkot after arriving from the nearby Haveli Lakha many years ago. He owned the house and made his earnings by selling pakoras in the streets of the village.

He modestly pointed to a hand-cart in one corner of the courtyard. “This is all I have. I shifted back to the village after doing the same job in Lahore.

“My eldest son, Afzal, is also back after a stint in Lahore. He is out working in the fields.”

Faridkot is far from the urbanites’ idea of a remote village. It is located right off a busy road and bears all the characteristics of a lower-middle class locality in a big city.

It has two middle-level schools, one for girls and the other for boys which Ajmal attended as a young boy. For higher standards, the students have to enroll in schools in Deepalpur which is not as far off as the word remote tends to indicate.

It by no means qualifies as Punjab’s backwaters, which makes the young Ajmal’s graduation to an international “fearmonger” even more difficult to understand. The area can do with cleaner streets and a better sewage system but the brick houses towards the side of the Kasur-Deepalpur road have a more organised look to them than is the case with most Pakistani villages.

The Observer newspaper reports that some locals seeking anonymity say the area is a hunting ground for the recruiters of LeT and provides the organisation with rich pickings.

The approach to Faridkot also points to at least some opportunities for those looking for a job. There are some factories in the surroundings, rice mills et al, interspersed with fertile land. But for the gravity of the situation, with its mellowed and welcoming ambience, the picture could be serene.

It is not and Amir Kasab repeats how little role he has had in the scheme since the day his son walked out on him. He calls the people who snatched Ajmal from him his enemies but has no clue who these enemies are. Asked why he didn’t look for his son all this while, he counters: “What could I do with the few resources that I had?”

Otherwise quite forthcoming in his answers, Amir Kasab, a mild-mannered soul, is a bit agitated at the mention of the link between his son’s actions and money. Indian media has claimed that Ajmal’s handlers had promised him that his family will be compensated with Rs150,000 (one and a half lakh) after the completion of the Mumbai mission.

“I don’t sell my sons,” he retorts.

Journalists visiting Faridkot since Dawn reporters were at the village say the family has moved from their home and some relatives now live in the house. Perhaps fearing a media invasion, nobody is willing to say where the family has gone.

This just puts every conspiracy theory to rest now.

Something to think about for all those journalists, and members of this forum who were mocking India's claims all the time about this guy.

And those earlier stories from Pakistan's media - CLAIMING - to have actually gone and done survey to find nothing and ridiculing the claim, just tells how things can be FABRICATED so easily, with a lot of ill intent.

People don't wear rakhi for days, if not months.

^^^It is working my friend . Pakistan is already taking action against Let and JuD and they arrested the masterminds of Mumbai attacks.

Good to see that Indian's are buying into the JUD lock-down/ mastermind episode (your STARPLUS dramas are quite an insight into Indian mentality, DHUZ, DHUZ, DUZ). Give it a few weeks dude and then we will talk again! Again, your GoI has NO EVIDENCE that can stand-up in a court of law let alone sharing it with any country.

GoP is simply (and temporarily) pleasing the US who want's to please India to sell planes and crap to them and allow them to establish listening posts against China's growing regional influence while giving stomach aches to the long Indian ally, Russia.

The BOTTOM LINE is......nothing will happen to Pakistan. Even the Security Council stunt by your GoI will be forgotten and shelved pretty soon!

So chill bill and say hi to RAW (who already has a bloody nose from the Mumbai Mow Down) for me!
