SHOCKING! 'Pak PM Nawaz Sharif gave approval for '93 Mumbai blasts'

. .
Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif knew about the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts in advance and actually gave his approval for them, claims a new book by a former diplomat.

In his book, ‘Where Borders Bleed: An Insider’s Account of Indo-Pak Relations’ Rajiv Dogra, who was consul general of India in Karachi from 1992 to 1994, talks about a number of contentious issues between the two countries.

Covering historical, diplomatic and military perspectives in almost 70 years of conflict, the book chronicles the events leading up to Partition, reflects on the consequent strife, and provides a perspective on the figures who have shaped the story of this land -- from Lord Mountbatten and Muhammad Ali Jinnah to Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Manmohan Singh.

He claims that a former Pakistan Supreme Court judge during a meeting in 1994 on the French chancery premises in Karachi, told him about the blasts.

“I had just walked into the splendid garden, when an eminent former judge of the Pakistani Supreme Court shook my hands and said quickly, but sotto voce, ‘The blasts in Bombay were done with the approval of PM Nawaz Sharif’,” Dogra writes, adding the former judge said a sitting judge of the Supreme Court told him about it.

Dogra says he had “no reason to doubt a man of his eminence”, as the former judge had a “sterling reputation” and it was out of question that such a man would make a comment on the basis of “half-baked information”.

According to the author, as a judge, he “seemed to have been morally outraged that they should have been sanctioned at the highest level”.

The author also says that goes on to claim that Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif knew that Pakistani soldiers were occupying Kargil heights when he welcomed then Indian Prime Minister A B Vajpayee, who made the historic Delhi-Lahore bus ride.

“Close to the bus, Nawaz Sharif was looking distinctly uncomfortable as he bent to embrace Vajpayee. Sharif had reason to look sheepish as Pakistani soldiers were already occupying the heights in Kargil,” the book, published by Rupa, says.

In the book, Dogra says the Pakistan Army had planned a Kargil-type military operation much before the summer of 1999 when Benazir Bhutto was the prime minister but she stood her ground against the idea.

Dogra, a 1974-batch Indian Foreign Service officer who served as ambassador to Italy, Romania, Moldova, Albania and San Marino besides India’s permanent representative to the United Nations agencies based in Rome, terms Benazir as “liberal by temperament” and whose western education “had made her more receptive in her relationship with the outside world.”

“It is true that she was swayed by low-level intelligence gossip... But it is also a fact that on occasion she stood her ground against the army. This may have prevented the Kargil invasion at least once during her spell in office,” he says.

Quoting from an interview given by Benazir, Dogra goes to say how she dismissed the idea of Major General Pervez Musharraf, the then DGMO, about such an operation.

Though Musharraf painted a rosy picture of Pakistan winning the war and taking over Srinagar, Benazir apparently told him, “No, General, if I say that they (India) will tell ‘withdraw from Srinagar’. Don’t only withdraw from Srinagar but withdraw from Azad Kashmir too. Because under the UN resolution first the plebiscite – we have to withdraw even from Azad Kashmir where the plebiscite had to be held.”

Dogra says Benazir’s assertion was a “rare instance where a Pakistani leader took an army general to caution him against a misadventure.”

abay yaaaaaaaaaar....this is the most funniest news of the day.....Thought bring something concrete .....

No..hence they are called militants and being hunted down..or being made to surrender.

There will be aggrieved parties and individuals in every country...there are millions I'm labor camps in china and north Korea for example. China executes close to 2000-2500 every year by firing squad..There are armed rebellious groups in the US A for .e.g.

What's extra special about Islamic terror groups is that they kill for no apparent reason or cause - (maybe just for their religious ideology and because that's their upbringing and the hate that is fed to them). They terrorise people out of sadistic pleasure.
So you do not consider militants that kill innocent people as terrorists?Whats the difference when both militants and terrorists take innocent lives.

The word militant refers to a man in combat mode, to a soldier in action. However, the word has come to mean a person who is a member of an organization, and is trying to achieve the objectives of the organization, mostly political. A militant brings to mind images of a person armed with ammunition and ready to take part in a combat. The word is often used to describe members of an organization that is supportive of use of violence to achieve political goals. The word is both a noun as well as an adjective. When used as a noun, it refers to a person who is a warrior (in derogatory terms) and indulges in violence to achieve the objectives of his organization.

The word terrorist is the most hated word in the world and brings to mind images of a person wearing a mask, firing indiscriminately, killing innocent people. Though the world does not agree upon a universally acceptable definition of terrorism, at least everyone (in the wake of 9/11 in the US and 26/11 in India) today agrees that any act of violence leading to destruction of property and loss of innocent lives is an act of terrorism and the person indulging in such act or actively helping a person to perform the act is a terrorist. Even those who are charged with supplying money and material for such heinous crimes against humanity are termed as terrorists.
Anyway, lets leave this meaningless discussion.




BTW, Islamic terror groups are no where close to Islam.Do you think any religion whether Islam, Hinduism or any other religion teach to kill innocent people?In Islam,killing of one person is equal to killing of whole humanity.
please do not talk about Islam without first understanding it...

Thanks for googling the definitions...that's exactly what I meant..militants have political goals...Islamic terrorists like aq, boko, Al shabaab, isis, let don't.

Looks like Hindutva wet dreams have another episode. Keeps churning anti-Pakistan news. What is a fact is that Feku Modi butcher of Gujarat masterminded the genocide of 2,000 Muslims in cold blood.

And what about 40000 Muslim's death in Pakistan? Super terrorist PM?

Modi is a confessed Mukti Bahini terrorist who took part in terrorizing civilians in East Pakistan. God knows how many innocent civilians he killed and how many innocent women he raped. Later, thousands of innocent Muslims were massacred by Hindutvawadi terrorists in his state. Pakistan must raise this matter in UN.

Mukti Bahini was not declared terrorist by any country including Pakistan. They were freedom fighters fought against the atrocity of their own state. They Secrifised themselves in Million to protect their women from being rapped and their brethren from being butchered.
