Jamiia Millia teachers and students have shown how solidarity among them is a beacon of hope that one day the doppelganger of terrorism evoked by the Intelligence Bureau in collusion with ATS and local police would be buried.
Hemant Karkare was left to bleed to death along with two officers as well as some police men. This is amply confirmed by the new startling discoveries that in the Batla house encounter Mohan Chand Shrma was also allowed to bleed to death. After being shot he had remarkably climbed down four flights of stairs and when he was helped to walk to the waiting police van there was no blood mark on the ground anywhere. All his vital organs had not received any gunshot wound. Therefore it confirms the earlier version (not of the police) of the event that he was shot by one of the cops there from behind or from the side. Why was even first aid in plugging the wound not given? This is amazing because the police had gone to Butla house with full preparation of encountering the supposed terrorists in their hideout!
Batla house fake encounter was taking place in full view of the local people. They did not hear any gun shot in the action that was unfolding there. On the other hand they saw the cops tumbling down flower pots and other objects there. This would mean that those who were killed were shot in closed space and from close range. These startling disclosures are coincided with the truth about Pune blast of how there is attempt to throw blame on the Indian Mujahideen to deflect attention from Abhinav Bharat and Sanathan Sanstha. What the police, ATS and IB are doing surreptitiously is betrayed by the Hindu communalists in Bhatkal who marched through the streets there shouting their support to the Sanathan Sanstha!
Within two days of taking action against ATS chief Raghuvanshi home minister RR Patil replaced him with Rakesh Maria who started chasing the chimera of Indian Mujahideen and in tandem the “embedded media” of the likes of Praveen Swami went to Bhatkal because the game would begin there. That the people of Bhatkal had informed the police that the Margao (Goa) bomb blast was arranged through shipment of the explosives through sea rout was thrown to the wind.
As with individuals so with the towns and cities they live in. As Muslims of Yemenis descent (called Navayat Muslims) have lived in Bhatkal for generations and prospered it does not go down well with the authorities and the right wing parties and their affiliates. Essentially the latter target such places for the sizable population of Muslims. Bhatkal is the Kanada counterpart of Malegaon in Maharashtra and Azamgarh in UP. Outsiders come and stoke communal feeling and this is the surest recipe of garnering votes for right wing parties like BJP and the Shiv Sena. Uma Bharti was the first to tour the town in 1991 and as is her wont raised the communal tension on account of her people and her religion innate and the others being foreigners and their faith of foreign origin. That was opening the Pandora’s box. The death of Dr Chitranjan, BJP MLA, in 1996 set the stage for violence. Turning communities to loggerhead you can bake your chapatti as the houses burn.
As with towns so with religion. Those like Praween Swami who believe that religion propels terrorism are wrong. The first terrorist attack by Muslims was by those who were not fanatics. Dawood Ibrahim and his lieutenants had hobnobbed well with the local Hindus and shared with them many customs and traditions. They were hardly the type made out: hard drinking and womanizing gangsters. Nor were they glued to cinema serials. What went wrong was the audacity of the Shiv Sainks who in collusion with the police perpetrated cruelty on the Muslims, one such was the sister of the don and hence the response was swift in coming. After or before the first major terrorist attack the Muslims made no justification using the text of their holy book. As in Mumbai 1993 so in Coimbator 1998. Wipe out communalism and terrorism would die like fish out of water. The corruption infested system of customs across the seas was pliant enough to import RDX as was the fishing trawlers in the Indian sea came handy for bringing in the ten from Karachi for 26/11.
Atif and Sajid were also from Azamgarh as is Salman Ahmad(chhotu). Swami’s “investigaters say” has been proved to be the grapevine of lies foisted upon the public by the IB and the ATS as has convincingly been proved by the post mortem reports. They show that those who were calling Butla encounter as fake were after all not the Alices in the wonderland. They were alert with their senses when the Butla fake encounter took place. They also had a historical sense because they knew that Mohan Chand Sharma and his guru Rajbir Singh were made of the same stuff of corruption and communalism.. The realtor Bharadwaj silenced Rajbir forever. Rajbir Singh of the Special Cell of Delhi police had given the realtor 50 lakh rupees to invest in business along with a gun. Months passed when Rajbir Singh went to Bhradwaj who feared that the police officer would kill him in fake encounter, shot him with the gun that the cop had given him! MC Sharma was also involved in such unlawful and criminal activities. He had a flat where he would torture Muslim youths to extract confession and then frame them in encounters to get promotion. Anzar plaza shoot out was one such. Such is the stuff the encounter cop is made of.
Jamia teachers and students are aware of the laws of the land and would like to abide by them unlike the cops who have earned notoriety for India, too, of the extraordinary renditions. And the ultra nationalists within the country who are baying for blood of the minority Muslims even for perceived wrong. They have made the minority more sinned against than sinning. There have been press conferences right in Mumbai where mothers of accused Muslim youths languishing in jails for years have asseverated that there should be speedy trial and if their sons are found really guilty they would hang them with their own hands. This does not cut any ice so far as the ultra nationalists are concerned. For example Lt Col Srikant Purohit and Sadhvi Pragyasingh Thackur are also in jail accused of terrorism. No Smita Salaskar has expressed strong words against them, as strong words as she did in the case of Faheem Ansari and Sabauddin. She rightfully feels happy that Kasab is found guilty “But I am disappointed as Faheem Ansai and Sabauddin have been acquitted. They should be hanged before Qasab as they are insiders waging war against their own nation.” (Asian Age 4-5-10)Purohit and Ramesh Upadhya, Sudhakar Dwevdi and others did more, wrote even their constitution to replace the Constitution of the Republic of India after exploding bombs not just in Malegaon but several other places. They would take over the county by 2025. The Maoists have set similar target for 2050 but feel emboldened to achieve the same much earlier! Why not go after the whole lot of them the way we go after the Azamgarh brigade!
Digvijay Singh’s going to Azamgah is diametrically opposed to Praveen Swami going to Bhatkal. Going to each other’s neighbouhood or towns and villages to know the truth and also sympathize with victim off injustice would go a long way to bring back civil life that is sorely missing today. If at all people have gone astray in our neighbourhood it is necessary to know the reason of it and if needed to redress the wrong done to them. Slamming 50 criminal cases in farfetched states of UP, Rajasthan, Mahrashtr and Gujarat against a teenager is mind boggling, to say the least. Salmaan Ahmed or Chhotu’s case is just that.
The disclosure of the involvement raises many serious questions. If Home Minister Chidambrum had said a week ago that the Pune case was cracked then why did the investigative agencies wait for a whole week to crack the fact on Friday April 7 2009 about an alleged phone call chhotu had received from Riyaz Bhatkal giving him badhai or greetings on the Pune blast of February 13. If chhotu was really involved he should have known it rather than being told by Riyaz to watch TV to know it.
The entire disclosure seems to be carefully orchestrated to splash headlines on chhot in Sunday editions so the people could comfortably read and have maximum impact of it. The mainstream English media coverage smacks complacency and drivel. Of course what chhotu said is confession under duress. The age of chhotu is far from clear, DNA mention his year of birth 1992, Indian Express mentions 1998, the Hindu also mentions it 1998 but says it is 1985 on the passport. What is in his juvenility that is so fluid?
But the crux of the matter is that Salman chhotu is now, ipso facto, made out to be directly connected to the Butla encounter. When so many people are seized with the question of authenticity of the Butla encounter why are the authorities dragging in chhotu into it? Will chhotu play David Headley role in Butla? This skimpy sapling youth!
If Salman really stayed in the Qaiserbaug of Lucknow how come the landlord did not know him? This is what Indian Express reports: “The owner of the house, Mushtaq Ahmed, who runs a wholesale medicine business, denied knowledge of Salman. He said five youths from Azamgarh had been his tenants, but he stopped renting out rooms after the ATS raided his house in 2008. The ATS team too had asked him about Salman, Ahmed said.” This surely means that the landlord and the ATS were sailing in the same boat, had no hard proof of his stay.
If Salman chhotu was doing Bachelor of Computer Application from the Sapru Marg Hajratganj centre of Sikkim Manipal University then why did the head of the university Harpal Dhillon deny it? Dhillon stated that Salman’s application for admission was rejected and part of the fees returned to him. How far is it true that when the name of IM came out in Butla encounter he fled to Nepal?
When various human rights organizations in Jaipur have started clamouring for fresh inquiry into Jaipur blasts in the aftermath of Ajmer exposure of RSS involvement why do the police still say that he is involved in the Jaipur blasts? Are not the police upfronting chhotu in both Butla House encounter as well as Jaipur ones? To what end?
What is more serious: why is the Delhi police denying Rajasthan police now access to chhotu? Is this a repeat of FBI denying access to Headley? In fact The Times of India calls it a distant dream of Rajasthan ATS: the access to chhotu!
If Chidambrum and the police really cracked the Pune case then why this trash reporting “According to the police, Salmaan is involved with the IM, and it was he who told them about the IM’s involvement with the Pune blasts.” This is hearsay and would remain so until the police prove it otherwise.
Jamia teachers and students have done commendable service by proving what is false with un-deniable evidence. Can we now expect the investigation agencies to follow suit?
