When Sadhvi Pragyasingh Thakur revealed
her and Abhinav Bharat’s involvement in the terrorist attack in Malegaon on
September 29, 2008 her accomplice and serving Lt Col of the Indian army Prasad
Shrikant Purohit told Major (retired) Ramesh Upadhya that she had started
singing. The ATS also can make others sing different tunes as they desire.
Munawar Ahmad Mohammad Amin was the
president of Students Islamic Movement of India of the Malegaon unit. The way
Anti Terrorism Squad made him sing their tune is worth historic record. He
headed SIMI from 1998 to 2003. Before him Khalid was in charge of the
organization. Khalid is the cousin of Noorulhodha, an accused in 2006 blasts
and other cases. The secretary of his unit was another accused Mohammad Zahid
Abdul Majid.
Munawar states that he has been accused
of inciting people and has been booked at three police stations of the City,
Killa and Ayesha Nager in eight cases. He has been given bail and has been reporting
these stations when the police demands. Since he became president he has known
Shabbir Masiullah who has had a shop of imitation jewelry and gift items at
Anjuman chowk, a stone’s throw from the SIMI office in Bhiku chowk. He met
Shabbir occasionally in the vicinity of the office and would tell about the
works of the organization. In the aftermath of the ban on SIMI he was rendered
jobless. It was then that Shabbier asked him to join in partnership and start
Gazal Dresses just above his Gazal gift and jewelry shop. Earlier he had sold
bone powder as fertilizer. Both of his business ventures ended in loss.
During the period in office and after
the ban the SIMI head of the Kurla, Mumbai, branch Mohammad Ali aka Aziz would
visit Munawar. Munawar introduced Shabbir to him. Mohammad Ali told them that
Riyaz Bhatkal was sending some youths to Pakistan for training in arms. In June
2003 Shabbir travelled to Dubai to buy imitation jewelry for his shop. On way
back he was searched at Khatmandu and his jewelry was confiscated. (That he
visited Pakistan for training is a canard spread by the police, he told this
writer on September 12, 2012.)
Then in September-October 2003 a youth
called Nafees Ahmed came to stay with Shabbir for a month and half. Prantu sadar kalavdheet shabbier ani Nafees
hey lapoon chapeen rahat ast. Madhoon mi Shabbir kade barkaieeney chokshi keyli
tehooan to aani Nafees dogey hi Mohammad Ali che sangneya Pakistan jaoon
dahshatwad chey training aleyache tyane mala sangeet ley hotey (“But during
this period Shabbir and Nafees were hiding and concealing themselves. Therefore
I closely inquired Shabbir about it and then he revealed that he and Nafees had
gone to Pakistan and were trained in terrorist activity.”) Many youths would visit Shabbir and stay with him for a couple of
days and then go away.
Is this what Munawar says or the ATS?
The attitude of Munawar in this confession strangely shows disapproval of the
youths and particularly Nafees. And of all the things this Dubai dukanacha maal aandneyasathi janayaas kahi harkat nahi parantu Pakistanat training
la jaoo nako. “There is no objection to go to Dubai to purchase items for
his shop but it is objectionable that he should go to Pakistan for training.”
If SIMI is a terrorist organization according to India how could a president of
the organization say this to a potential recruit! Why would he reprimand him?
It shows the naked truth that the
confession of Munawar is fake. There is more than one reason to believe this.
The most important is that Munawar was also arrested by the police and was in
jail along with the other nine accused. The other nine have wondered why he was
let out of the prison. That he spent time with the nine within the same prison is
a well known fact to the nine accused and many others outside the jail,
particularly the people in Malegaon. One of them is the former corporator of
Jaffernager area called Mohammad Ismail Mullah. He even submitted an affidavit
that he had seen Munawar in the police van when the police was pretending that
they were on the lookout for him.
SIMI was banned on September 19, 2001 as
a fall out of al Qaeda attack in New York and Washington on September 11, 2001.
The Indian government at centre was headed by the Hindu party BJP leaders AB
Vajpayee as Prime Minister and LK Advani as the Deputy PM and also the Home
Minister. The anti Muslim weltanschauung created in the after math of the 9/11
came as an opportunity for the Hindutva prone government to begin its own
hidden agenda of framing Muslims and repressing them, or else what it was that
they did? No India Muslim was involved
even remotely in the 9/11 which even President George Bush asseverated. Despite
this the Indian government banned the organization. Its massive police force
and intelligence agencies had arm full of assignment to go after the members of
the banned outfit. They have the
statement of Munawar and he was with them and was in the jail and yet today the
police, the CBI and the NIA are after this absconder who was very much in the
police custody, in their van and in the prison. Who let him go and why?
The lesson this bogus case teaches us is
the failure of school education. Had the administrators and police and
investigators been taught critical thinking they would not have made themselves
fools for the world to laugh at them and the country to decry. There is no
proof of Shabbir visiting Kurla. The additional chief secretary (Home) and
secretary in charge of Home Department of Government of Maharashtra AP Sinha
who signed the order of arresting and prosecuting Shabbir, Nafis, Riyaz Ismail
Bhatkal (R/o Qadar building, 1st floor, room no 17, Kurla Pipe road,
Kurla, west, Mumbai), Tarique ismail Abdul Sattar, Mohammadd Ali Alam Shaikh
aka Aziz should not have simply put his signature on the dotted lines on behalf
of the governor. He should have critically looked into the facts and discussed howsoever
briefly to know that it was not fake or else it would bounce back on the
forwarding authorities. Since then Riyaz/Riyas Bhatkal has been involved in all
sorts of bomb attacks everywhere in Maharashtra and outside. What is the degree
of probability that he could be involved in so many crimes till the triple
blasts in Mumbai on July 13, 2011 and the police be sleeping over his
involvement! Is he the wandering Jew in modern avatar of the wandering Muslim?
How come the PSI Shripad Kale of Ghatkoper police station so solely dependent
on his informants and so gullible that the informants could pull wools over his
eyes and frame innocent people at will?
Mohammad Ali is also accused in the
serial blasts in local trains of July 11, 2006 and he is consistently involved
in other blasts or unlawful activities, according to the police. Is it probable
that Mohammad Ali aka Aziz in the custody of Kurla police would be so active to
be free to conspire for another and a much larger terror attack of blowing
bombs in Malegaon in just over a month later? Ditto Shabbir. If Kale and Sinha be so obtuse
what about the others who supervised and sanctioned and executed re-arrests of
some of the Ghatkoper accused in Malegaon 2006 case also? And why did the CBI
take three years to tell the court that it did not find anything incriminating
regarding the nine accused in 2006 Malegaon blasts which included Mohammad Ali
too? Still, two more years would pass before they could be given bail, albeit
Mohammad Ali and another accused are still in detention over other charges in
other cases. And why could the chief minister of Maharashtra be so sensitive
and prompt to act in the case of a mute artist Aseem Trivedi and so insensitive
along with his predecessors in office in the matters of the nine accused in
Malegaon case and the five in the Ghatkoper case? Most of the accused were men
without any criminal record and could not have even thought of being traitors
to their country?
