[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Indian media unleashes malicious campaign to blame Pakistan for Mumbai blasts [/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]ISLAMABAD, Jul 15 (APP): Notwithstanding straight and square condemnation by Pakistan of the recent blasts in Mumbai, the Indian media, both print and electronic has unleashed an orchestrated and malicious campaign to blame Pakistan for this gore incident.
The Indian media continues its sinister efforts to link Pakistan and the local Muslim population with these blasts. So much so that the leading Indian Television channels started claiming in the “Breaking News” around 7.40 p.m. on July 13 that according to government sources “Pakistan had a hand in Mumbai blasts” and peace process may get affected.

These channels throughout continued with their efforts to establish links with Pakistan in a co-ordinated manner without basing their inputs on any investigation or proof.
Government sources were repeatedly quoted for feeding different versions to prove the links between perpetrators of these blasts and their masters in Pakistan.

All leading dailies including ‘Hindustan Times’, ‘The Times of India’ ‘The Pioneer’ The Asian Age’, ‘The Indian express’, ‘The Tribune’, ‘The Statesman’, etc. next day came out with screaming headlines blaming Pakistan for this terrorist act which clearly manifested that India is using this opportunity for a media trial of Pakistan and in the process raising the tempers of the general public which, in turn, would facilitate her to initiate some harsh steps against Pakistan.
Political analysts are of the confirmed view that such a co-ordinated attempt by Indian media cannot attain such a level without the backing of their government or its agencies.


They said that hawkish elements in the Indian hierarchy also seemed hell bent to sabotage the on-going peace process between New Delhi and Islamabad.
Sources in New Delhi, however, speak of internal differences in the Indian cabinet on the issue of these blasts. They say that a cabinet discussion on the government response to terror attacks in Mumbai, while National Security Advisor, Mr.M.K. Narayanan pointed a finger at Pakistan, two other ministers tried to make the point that it was a routine for Hindu groups to blame Muslims for acts of violence.


Human Resource Development Minister Arjun Singh, sources said, quoted a retired Maharashtra judge as having alleged that the attempt attack on RSS headquarters in Nagpur was a frame-up by the Sangh itself. The minority Affairs Minister A.R. Chaudhry cited reports that a mystery blasts in Mahrashtra’s Nanded in April last was orchestrated by Hindus themselves posing as Muslims.

Analysts said that it was the responsibility of the Indian Government to ensure that Pakistan bashing in the media had to stop and any move by New Delhi to delay the peace talks would be disastrous.

“Pakistan has played a great restraint by not blaming India for April 11 bomb blast at a congregation commemorating the Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) birthday despite the fact that there were strong indicators pointing towards India. Had Pakistan reacted like India in this game-plan, it would have unleashed unprecedented anger and outrage among the Muslims in Pakistan as well as the world,” they concluded

leads don't often culminate to evidence... Pakistan showed the maturity to not blame India as soon as the ball was off the bat. India has blamed Pakistan for several things. IA Hijacking, Parliament attack and now this. For none of them India has evidence that will fly in court. For all of them Pakistan offered to investigate, file a case, prosecute criminals, IF and ONLY IF India wanted to.

India's response each time is "LETS FIGHT LETS FIGHT!" then the realize they don't want to fight and shut up and go back... Anyway.

Never mind dear bull i know you are on burner these days after the blasts and i can understand.

At the end it proved all false that Muslims were involved in setting the train on fire.

:smile:

HAHAHA, LOL Good on ya buddy:thumbsup: , nahh.... its all true. How hard is to make things up, to generate a fake proof. And they've been doing it for years, every time just to downsize Pakistan's importance and image in the world.

Where is Maulana Mazood Azhar?

Parliament attack and now this. For none of them India has evidence that will fly in court. For all of them Pakistan offered to investigate, file a case, prosecute criminals, IF and ONLY IF India wanted to.

India WILL NOT want the criminals to be treated in Pakistan. They committed the crime in India and ran back to Pakistan, unless we have a treaty which says it can be tried in Pakistan, India will not do that. India did gave proof about Dawood Ibrahim's clandestine operations in India, but he still lives in Karachi.

India's response each time is "LETS FIGHT LETS FIGHT!" then the realize they don't want to fight and shut up and go back... Anyway.

We fight our wars, overt or covert, just like you do

I see you go blaming about India for all the bombings in Pakistan.

Let us make some ground rules, Indian Muslims <> Pakistanis. So when we talk about India and Pakistan, bear this in mind. What ever happened in Gujarat has got nothing to do with Pakistan.

At the end it proved all false that Muslims were involved in setting the train on fire.

Really? did the Supreme Court of India said so ?

Tension among Mumbai's Muslims

Hundreds of Muslims have been questioned by police in the Indian city of Mumbai following last week's serial bombings.

Suspicion has fallen on the Lashkar-e-Toiba, a Kashmiri militant group based in Pakistan, as well as radical Islamic groups based in India prompting the security agencies to concentrate their inquiries on the city's Muslim community for any leads.

This has created a growing sense of uneasiness among the city's four million Muslims, who have come out in strength to condemn the attacks.

Mumbai has a history of tensions between the city's Muslim minority and Hindu majority, although initial fears of a backlash targeting the community have proved unfounded.

Temkar Mohalla is a predominantly Muslim neighbourhood in south Mumbai.

On the surface, it appears to be business as normal. Tailors are busy sewing wedding garments and local bakery shops are filled with buyers.

The narrow lanes of Temkar Mohalla are lined with stores selling everything from household utensils to toilet paper.

There is a sense of underlying tension which is palpable.

We try to talk to an old cleric just outside one of south Mumbai's most prominent mosques, Rasool Masjid.

"Please don't ask questions. Thank you," is his response.

Crime lord's den

Not a single person agrees to speak to us for a couple of hours.

"Nobody is going to talk here. Police are picking up Muslims across the city. Two boys got picked up here last night," says a local lawyer, Syed Haris.

Mr Haris and his friend Abdul Rehman, a local bakery shop owner takes us further inside the neighbourhood, away from the main streets.

Temkar Mohalla is where one of the city's most notorious crime lords, Dawood Ibrahim grew up.

One of India's most wanted men, he is believed to be living in Pakistan and is suspected of involvement in the 1993 Mumbai bombings in which some 250 people died.

"Whenever something happens in Mumbai, we get picked up because Dawood stayed here," Mr Haris says.

They refuse to show us his house, which still exists in Temkar Mohalla.

"Its too risky after the blast," Mr Rehman says.

Media target

Instead they take us to Hussain Hall, a local assembly hall, where a meeting of the Muslim clerics of South Mumbai is going on.

Many in the community say they feel they are unfairly targeted

"If you have a beard and a cap, you will be stopped in the street and questioned. Only Muslims are getting picked up across the city. I am going to raise this in parliament," we hear as we enter the hall.

The speaker is a member of India's Upper House, Abu Asim Azmi.

"Muslims are targeted by both administration and political parties. We are fearing a fall out of the blast," Mr Azmi tells us later.

Another speaker, Maulana Athar of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, said Muslims are targeted by the media too.

"We are not against an investigation. Suspects have to be picked up and that is fine.

"But all the suspects rounded up by police in last few days have been photographed by the media," Mr Athar says.

In particular he feels that displaying images of the suspects on Indian television is unfair and misleading since they have not been convicted of any crime.

But all the clerics praised the city's Hindu majority for showing "great restraint".

"Not a single incident has taken place when a Muslim cab driver or tea seller has been assaulted by Hindus, when they could have easily done that.

"So amidst all this fear and apprehensions we need to admit, that sanity prevailed," says another cleric, Maulana Hafeza.

On Saturday, the residents of south Mumbai, Hindus and Muslims, rallied in order to maintain peace in the area.

However, Najim Masudi, who lost his daughter in the Mumbai riots of 1993 said he still felt something could happen.

"In 1993 communal riots broke out when we believed the worst was over," he said

So this time he has decided not to allow his seven-year-old younger daughter, Zubaida, to go to school until the city calms down completely.

To conclude, lets just say that Indian Muslims constantly live in fear for their lives, valuables, etc. Its a good thing that Mumbai has remained calmed so far, but who knows how long that will last.

Lets hope things cool down quickly before yellow journalism and irresponsible remarks by a few haughty individuals lead to another Gujrat.

We both need to clarify things....

Jana said "even after having proof Pakistan didnt blame India"..i replied that to that by saying "thats the dumest thing to do..if u had proof u shud have nailed India".

And then u said "unlike India we dont catch Innocents and blame the other country"..to which i replied "whether the proof Jana was speaking to where similar scape goats".

I hope it clarifies.
