Modi’s volte-face?

Though to some it is heartening to see Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserting that Indian Muslims live for India and would die in the country there is no change in the substance of his opinion of the minority. His perseverance in not wearing the round white cap of Muslims is also minimal because it is symbolic. His wearing his heart on his sleeve now is too small a character in a play, a cameo; you cannot discern him or decipher him against a whole museum wall of previous utterances. His decade long rule in Gujarat has churned up a Saragossa sea of hieroglyphics telling spasmodic relationship with the minority community. There is a whole body of his thoughts that he will find unable to disavow. Some of which he uttered to foreign journalists and media. To the Reuter news agency interviewer he called Muslim puppies being killed in accident by a fast moving car! Does the car successfully translate into Gujarat making rapid development worthy of emulating by the rest of the country despite the incidental collateral damage? Three days after 9/11 Modi was not Chief Minister but was waiting in the wing to be. On Star television he remarked what is the defining feature of right wing Hindutva view craftily well prepared in advance for all the time to come: “when one community says that my community is different from yours, it is higher than yours, and that until you take refuge in mine you cannot get Moksha [liberation or salvation], you cannot get Allah, you cannot get Jesus – then conflict starts”. [1]There is no substance in it, neither was it on February 27, 2002 because Muslims did not shout from the rooftop anything against the Hindus. On the contrary the Hindu extremists on the Sabarmati Express forced Muslims to shout Jai Shri Ram and attacked them when they demurred. The poor Muslims were overwhelmed by the aggressive and violent approach of the karsevaks returning from Ayodhya. This premeditated excuse to go in for the Muslims is the bric-a-brac of the organization that has nurtured Modi since his childhood, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. Muslim participants from all over India were returning from a conference in London when they were arrested at the Ahmadabad airport on arrival on January 1, 2002 even when they had not said anything against any religion nor asserted the superiority of any religion let alone their own. [2] The above remark of Modi regarding 9/11 attack shows his intrepidity of what he believed and still holds it to be the view of his own and his organization. One who spoke along with Modi, Dr Rafiq Zakaria, G Parthasarthy, and the anchor Rajsardeep Desai was John Elliott who observed: “Unlike most politicians, he (Modi) argued passionately and powerfully for what he believed in, not for some short-term personal gain far removed from policy, but out of conviction. He was a strong public speaker and was standing his ground, presenting his case with rare confidence and élan.” Therefore Modi played a pioneering role in getting India on the bandwagon of the US in the so called “war on terrorism.” More than the PM AB Vajpayee it was he who buttressed the Huntington thesis of clash of civilization. Pronouncing the word religion (meaning Islam) he accented the third syllable because instead of using the small vowel sound he used a diphthong. He outright called 9/11 as Islamic terrorism. Later in February 2002 he again came back to his damnation of the Mian Musharraf, meaning the Pakistan president or the generic use for Muslims. He maintained the same vein when he spoke of Sohrabuddin Shakh in 2007 election. Sohrabuddin was not a terrorist in common parlance but because of his religion Modi made him one. Interestingly, Modi was home minister and his deputy Amit Shah and others in the government and police used Sohrabuddin in extortion racket and the murder of Haren Pandya. Tulsiram Prajapati was a friend and partner of Soharabuddin but he was spared the noun terrorist by Modi and everyone else. The statement made to CNN on September 19, 2014 is no watershed in the career of Modi viewed in the backdrop stretching back to the aftermath of 9/11 Star television debate and hence it is sycophantic of MJ Akbar, BJP spokesman and a new acolyte of Modi, to says: “It is a powerful testament of his (Modi’s) faith and conviction on the Muslim community.” [3] Fareed Zakaria: Ayman-al- Zawahiri the head of Al Qaida has issued a video and an appeal trying to create an Al Qaida in India. In south Asia he says but the message was really directed towards India and he says he wants to free Muslims from the oppression they face in Gujarat, in Kashmir. Do you think, do you worry that something like this could succeed? Prime Minister Narendra Modi: My understanding is that they are doing injustice towards the Muslims of our country. If anyone thinks Indian Muslims will dance to their tune, they are delusional. Indian Muslims will live for India. They will die for India. They will not want anything bad for India. Fareed Zakaria: Why do you think it is that there is this remarkable phenomenon that you have a 170 million Muslims and they seem to be almost no or very few members of Al-Qaeda. Even though Al-Qaeda is in Afghanistan and of course the many in Pakistan. What is it that has made this community not as susceptible? Prime Minister Narendra Modi: Firstly, I am not the authority for doing a psychological and religious analysis on this ... But the question is, whether or not humanity should be defended in the world? Whether or not believers in humanity should unite? This is a crisis against humanity, not a crisis against one country or one race. So we have to frame this as a fight between humanity and inhumanity. Nothing else. What he is saying here is a repeat of what he had told Farid Zakaria’s father and others a decade and almost half earlier. [4] In the same 2001 debate Modi had made it clear at the onset that it was Islamic terrorism and then he tried to qualify that he meant some Muslims who use Islam and Islam per se terrorist. But the explanation he gave and his illustration was basically from Islam though in his own slant on it. He had said that there are three stages, one where Muslims ruled was darul Islam, where they did not was darul Harb against which they fight and darul Aman where they live with others in peace because otherwise they would be at mortal risk. He did not use exactly the parenthesis but the 3 categories were on his mind. What is most puzzling: there is a selected list of his statements available under the title of Narendra Modi's Little Saffron Book "Hindus of Gujarat, unite and defeat the Mussalmaan Mullahs and all their four wives! Hindus of Gujarat, be courageous, and dare to fight, be brave, and defy decency and humanity; advance wave upon wave like Ravan's rakshasas. Then the whole Gujarat will belong to Hindus. Mussalmaans of all kinds shall be destroyed." Statement Supporting the Municipality of the Vadodara City Against the Muslim Aggression (May 5, 2006). "The richest source of power to wage war lies in the masses of Hindus. It is mainly because of the submissive state of the Hindus that Mussalmaans dare to bully us. When this defect is remedied, then the Mullah aggressor, like a mad bull crashing into a ring of flames, will be surrounded by hundreds of millions of our people standing upright, the mere sound of their voices will strike terror into him, and the Mullah will be burned to death." On Planned Riots (May 2003), Selected Works, Vol. II, p. 186. "What is a true bastion of Shakti? It is the Indian masses, the millions upon millions of people who genuinely and sincerely support Hindutva. That is the real Shakti, which is impossible for any force on earth to smash. The Aamir Khans of the world cannot smash us; on the contrary, we shall smash them. Rallying millions upon millions of people round my government and expanding our holy war, we shall wipe out all the pseudo-secularists and take over the whole of India." Excerpt of a Speech Made on the Successful, Complete and Absolute Conclusion of a Ban on the Film Fanaa in the Theatres of Gujarat (May 28, 2006). "The secularists are bullying us in such a way that we will have to deal with them seriously. Not only must we have a powerful, regular and a more violent Bajrang Dal, we must also organize contingents of the ladies-only Durga Vahini on a big scale. This will make it difficult for the secularists to move a single inch in our Gujarat in case of an anti-Mussalmaan genocide, an event which is not very far." Interview with the Saamna Newspaper (September 29, 2004). "Without preparedness, a communal riot is not a real pogrom and there can be no final solution either. Having grasped this point, it is good to remember that while making a list of Mians and their Begums in their across-the-'border' Pakistani mohallas, care must be taken to accomplish the task without attracting much notice. The dogs must not be warned of their terrible ends." Strategies for Genocides and Other Experiments in Rwanda (May 1938), Selected Works, Vol. II, pp. 165-66. "The communal riot is a war of the Hindus; it can be successfully waged only after enlisting the support of the police force and relying on them to wage it." Be Concerned with the Manipulation of the Masses, Pay Attention to Methods of Murder (January 27, 2002), Selected Works, Vol. I. p. 147. "Democracy is one of the ways to be cleverly employed and manipulated to struggle for a just, absolute, pure Mussalmaan-less society." Talk with Prabhu Chawala in Seedhi Baat, Aaj Tak TV Channel (August 2004). "The Bhartiya Janata Party of Gujarat, having made a clear-headed appraisal of the national and state-level situation on the basis of the science of Nazism-Fascism, recognized that all attacks on the non-Hindus in Gujarat have to be launched in the shortest possible time. If some Mussalmaans still have guts to live here with their countless hordes, we only have to stop doing any dealings with them." The Present Situation and Our Tasks (December 25, 1997), Selected Shakha Writings, 2nd ed., p. 347. "If a single Mussalmaan attack us and if the conditions are favorable for battle, we will certainly act in self-defense to wipe him off and all the people of his wretched community resolutely, thoroughly, wholly and completely (we do not strike rashly, but when we do strike, we must win). We must never be cowed by the bluster of English-speaking secularists.." On Peace Negotiations with Pakistan - Circular of the Central Committee of the Bhartiya Janata Party of Gujarat (August 26, 2001) "As far as the massacre of Hindus by terrorists in Kashmir is concerned, those Islamic militants, in spite of belonging to the enemy civilization, are like our brothers-in-arms. They provide us an opportunity, reason, and excuse to kill the Maulavis of Ahmedabad." Talk with the Harvard University Proffessor Samuel Phillips Huntington (August 1946), Foreign Affairs Magazine [5] Even if anyone of the above statements is true that statement is too revolting in its essence. Moving fast forward to the pre US visit statement of Modi, it is puerile that the Muslims would be fooled by it for they have been what they have always been born and brought up in India, have shared sorrow and happiness of the land of their birth. Why should anyone rake up his statement full 67 years after the freedom? Testing their loyalty now will raise the nightmare of the shibboleth that they must sing vande matrum and that would put the situation back to square one! Furthermore the US had co opted India in its so called “war on terrorism” post 9/11. Why would the new man in PM’s office want to register their loyalty to the land and not to Al Qaida for they had no truck with the fanatics before, so why now. Muslims have learned well from their thinkers and poets: khake vatan ka mujhko har zarra devta haiy!“Every particle of land of my motherland is god for me to worship.” “To kill one man is to kill humanity.” Expecting Muslims to again pass through another shibboleth is asking for the impossible. The martyrs like Brigadier Usman and Abdul Hamid and poets like Wali Gujarati/Dakhni were Indians lived and died defending and upholding the honour of the mother land. It was Modi’s pogroms of 2002that engineered the demolition of Wali’s grave and paving a concrete road over it overnight so that there would be no eye sore on the road to development that passes through Ahmadabad. The annals of Gujarat are blank over either the demolition or even a cursory mention of the death of former Member of Parliament Ahsan Jafri who had spoken to Sonia Gandhi as well as the chief minister of Gujarat for rescue before he was brutally murdered. Or is Modi placating the Indian Americans born in Islamic faith and others like minded who protested against his genocide and opposed his attempt to get a visa and visit US? Why did not Modi take the opportunity of Independence Day and proclaim the unity of the country where Muslims are equal partners in shaping the destiny of the country? Why did he break new ground and shout and exhort his audience to shout vande matrum at the end of his speech? He tested the water and Shiv Sena knew it and hence its president Udhav Thackeray brought another nationality test called cricket test into the loyalty of Muslims as his father Bal Thackeray was wont to do. In Saamna editorial of September 22, 2014 Thackeray let the cat out by warning Muslims not to let down Modi on the current issue and “sing 'Vande Mataram' in tandem with the rest of the country, (and) put a halt to the alleged anti-national teachings imparted in 'madrassas'” [6] Ordinary Muslims are resigned to their lot which includes wear and tear of daily struggle to meet both the ends meet. They would prefer to be left to themselves. So any enforced shibboleth is unwelcome. Former chief minister of Bihar Nitish Kumar knew it all too well when he refused to take custody of Abu Jundal, real name Ansari Zabiuddin, a police informer who helped India unearth the greatest arms seizure and whom the police framed in all kinds of terrorism cases later in their “war on terror.” Kumar also dismissed the penchant of India security agency and police for the “Darbhanga module”. Gujarat under Modi on the other hand demanded to interrogate him like in most other terror attacks giving the impression that it was besieged by terrorists. In fact many Hindutva terror cases had their source in Gujarat where Swami Asimanand was based and where Modi had donated huge sums of money to his Ashram. So the words of Modi are to quote Polly Toynbee on Labour party convention that took place as Modi made the above speech: How easy to call for political fizz. How tough to deliver it!

The new conspiracy of polarizing India

“If any amongst the Mushriks (i.e. the enemies) ask thee for asylum, grant it to him so that he may hear the word of Allah and then escort him to where he can be secure”. (Al Qur’an 9:6) As if the hectic war on terrorism undertaken by the US and piggy ridden by India under AB Vajpayee government was not enough in producing a decade and about half of false terror charges framed against Muslims we now have a bolder adventure on the anvil. Ajit Doval like his predecessor MK Narayan has gone a step further. Narayanan wanted to pay back in the same coin for any terrorist attack in India or in Afghanistan. Thus he broadened the arena of the so called war on terror. Doval known for first kill and then inquire policy dealing with terrorists has now reached into the theological base of terror through the agencies which have been his provenance, IB, R&AW, CBI, etc. One officer of the agencies has come out with the new phenomenon of Ayman Zawahiri video: “The Indian subcontinent, with India, Pakistan and Bangladesh together has the highest Muslim population, concentrated closely as a unit. Due to this reason, al-Qaeda wants to have its domination on this subcontinent and execute its ideological goal of Ghazwa-e-Hind, which it thinks would catapult the group above IS. For this al-Qaeda may use local terror modules and sleeper cells to unleash attacks within India quite like 26/11 to register a strong presence, and we’re keeping a vigil on it.” [1] Such kind of generating input on terror is a signal for beginning afresh the hunting game that put Indian Muslims in a siege mentality and more ghettoization. But this time the intelligence agencies have for the first time succeeded in co opting Muslims of different persuasions in their war on terror. This is another feather in the royal turban that PM Narendra Modi is fond of wearing in his penchant for photogenic appearance. There is also self contradiction in the agencies for 26/11 was not the work of a local sleeper module. Fahim Ansari and Sabauddin were not involved in the attacks on Mumbai landmarks. They were framed. Those who arrived by boat had stayed in the house of someone in oil business. Or else how could they start the operation no sooner than landing? They were only six according to Anita Udaiyya and they did not include Ajmal Kasab. Second, if Al Qaeda has no base in India till today how could it be assumed that the local sleeper module would initiate a comprehensive movement like Ghazwa-e-Hind? There are think tanks officious to chip in. “The al-Qaeda wants to explore the possibility of recruiting youths as jihadis from India, which is very significant for the group, so that they make the ideology of Ghazwa-e-Hind true. According to the belief, there are many Muslims waiting for this ideology to happen on ground. And al-Qaeda wants to tap this opportunity in India and Pakistan. It’s trying to bring jihadis close to it and show IS that it’s bigger,” said Alok Bansal director of Centre for Security and Strategy, India Foundation. Here, too, the think tank is in the dark. Indian Muslims have never been recruited by any foreign based terror group. Their involvement in 1993 (Bomybay blasts) and 1998 Coimbatore blasts was indigenous in its entirety as they were pushed to the wall. Students Islamic Movement for India has openly challenged the government to prove that they are terrorists. After years of incarceration its chief Safdar Nagrori was released in July 2014. Saying that to begin the fight against Al Qaeda by again focusing on SIMI or even IM is beating the dead horse. Both the agencies and the think tanks are taking very seriously what is based on hearsay. For the Prophet to have said to Abu Horaira that he felt that the territory in the subcontinent of India was favourable for Islam to spread in was to say the least, conjectural. India was and is much older than the birth of Islam. India was a geographical entity and not a political unit then. Even more revealing of the tectonic shift (that surely means more terrorist attacks in which again Muslims will suffer as more charges would be leveled against them) is that this new phenomenon will encompass all the Muslims irrespective of whether they are prone to violence or not. It would be repeat of “either you are with us or against us”. So why this hype as seen in the Shias offering 5 crore for the head of the IS chief Abu Bakr Baghdadi [2]. The Sunni Markazi Sirat Committee of Nasik on September 5, 2014 had given memorandum to the police commissioner of Nasik that they would declare any India joining the call of Zawahiri a traitor to the country. This is “National Muslims of Nasik’s declaration of war against Al Qaida.” [3] In the editorial of Saamna there is also a warning that when India is vehemently taking off [bhrari, Marathi] on the development front “Islamist be warned.” The editorial then shows true colour by change of words to “Hindustan’s enemies be warned!” Caution in such issues is a must. First the Quran does not use the word jihad at all. Surah Tawba verse 5 goes like this: “fight and slay the Mushriks (i.e. the enemies from Makkah) wherever you find them and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war.” Therefore targeting Indian Muslims is far off the mark. They have had nothing to meddle with what is taking place in Afghanistan or Pakistan. When Quran uses the word slay it is in the context of a battle envisaged that the followers of Islam were engaged in against the polytheists of Mecca. What is even more they were not in the midst of the battle per se but this was a warning that in 4 months time the battle would begin if the polytheists did not stop their aggression! In Arabic jihad means struggle so if there is any danger against Islam/Muslims there must struggle against it. The followers of the Prophet had made a peace treaty with the polytheists of Mecca. But when the polytheists broke it the Prophet issued them warning. In India there is no such condition in actual existence. The Muslims of mainland India out of free will chose India as their country. They did not make any bone about their allegiance. In opposition to it the agencies and the think tank along with the right wing groups like Shiv Sena represented by Saamna want to fight a perceived terror threat that has not even taken place. There is no presence of Al Qaida in India. Therefore this uproar in the media is insidious and sinister. Indian intelligence agencies are wont to generate bogus terror reports involving Indian Muslims. One of the most ludicrous was that Jalgaon in Maharashtra was emerging as a university of terrorism: A Marathi paper Punya Nagri in its Jalgaon edition of Tuesday March 30, 2010 carries banner headline: “Jalgaon as the target of Indian Mujahideen.” The report says that “the Indian Mujahideen is busy (magan) training suicide squads which care a tuppence (befikar) for spewing deaths. The terrorists of IM are immersed (gark) in the training. The squad is named “Bullet 313”. The intelligence agency that has prepared the report for the government says that “Bullet 313” has first preference for Jalgaon as the target of attack. IM is recruiting students of mechanical and chemical engineering, students of computer science, as well as the usual collegians. The students of higher education are grouped in modules which would create terror in all the parts of the country. Thus, Jalgaon is the University of Terrorism in India. Delhi and Vangni near Badlapur are other such places. In the last named place the training is going on in a housing colony. The first batch has admitted 200 students and 113 will join soon. That would make it 313. The expense is covered by the fund generated in the Middle East and sent through hawala from Indonesia. It is spent on buying arms. Even if one ‘bullet’ succeeds in destroying its target the country would be in turmoil, the report adds.”[5] As the intelligence agencies have prepared fabricated inputs and kidnapped and killed Ishrat Jahan, Sohrabuddin Sheikh etc, they have their link in the police who collaborate in the conspiracy. In the case of Jalgaon too it followed the same pattern. The agencies have their handmaids in the police. ATS office NH Dhabi had kidnapped Sohrabuddin from Andhra Pradesh and Narayanan Singh along with others had killed him. One bullet from Singh’s gun was found in the thigh of the sheikh. “Bullet 313”was a conspiracy that did not take off while others did so what proof is there that the new conspiracy in Modi raj is genuine? Mere, the video? If the video is virtual reality what is reality itself in India. A consulting editor writes in DNA trying to catch in graphic description the subtext of violence of the Hindutva right in 100 days of Modi sarkar: “The passport office [in Delhi] was crowded as usual and the 14-year old was waiting patiently, his file in hand when a young man looked at it and asked if he was a Muslim. The schoolboy said ‘yes’, the youth looked at him and said flatly, “Ek din sab Musallman khatam ho jayenge.” (“One day all the Muslims would be exterminated.”) “People listened on, as of course they would in any public space. There was interest but no outrage to the bland assertion that the entire Community would be finished. Another man joined in only declare [d]. “Bahut bada jang hone wala hai.” (A big war is in the offing.)”, before going on to ask the child if he would go with India or Pakistan. The quick-witted teen said he would watch from the sidelines.”[5] If this is in the public domain instead of the so called jihad there is the Armageddon waiting for the Muslims. After the holocaust of Muslims in Gujarat 2002 that visited upon them as a result of the instruction of Modi on February 27, 2002, now they have a bigger calamity coming to them, their sure extinction! What for is the self imposed taciturnity of Modi, otherwise? His silence is screaming loudly that something is amiss for he let the genie out knowing well what imminently is in store! 1.

Dubious terrorism

India has a rare phenomenon of most publicized events of terrorist attacks which have generated highest amount of doubt. In the general public, of course; but for the cultural nationalists there is firm conviction of the evil originating across the border. This is so much in vogue even after a decade that the terrorists are invariably the Pakis behind all terrorist attacks. In sharp contrast March 12 1993 serial bomb attacks in Bombay ascribed to the fugitive Dawood Ibrahim had all natives of India to the last man caught and tried and convicted. Since then the Pakis have become the wandering Jew for all acts of terrorism within India. Only the rarest rare exception is Ajmal Kasab, tried, convicted and quickly hanged. Even this case is fraught with many doubts. The Hindu extremist fringe includes RSS and all the other organizations under its umbrella. They had initiated bomb attacks as is clear from Saharanpur bomb attacks of May 14, 2002 and before that the Bhopal Ijtema target of the previous year. Bhopal has the largest mosque in India. There was going to be a bomb attack but it could not be carried out. The Hindutva group under Sunil Joshi was behind it. Had it been effective it would have produced very large casualties. In Saharanpur a bomb went off at the roof of the mosque and another near the gate. A third failed to blow up at the end of the prayer early morning. Luckily the third was defused. There was no dubiety regarding these three. Nor was there any such in the four bombing incidents between 2003 and April 2006 in Parbhani, Purna, Jalna and Nanded when when RSS-Bajrang Dal-VHP activists targeted mosques. The fourth incident happened in Nanded when the bomb meant for Aurangabad railway station mosque accidentally blew up and killed several terrorist busy making the bomb. The most spectacular cases of dubiety are the Parliament attack on December 13, 2001 and Malegaon September 8, 2006 and September 29, 2008. In the first Prime Minister AB Vajpayee had warned on December 12, 2001of impending attack on the Parliament and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had warned on September 5, 2006 and again on September 17, 2008 that there would be terror attacks. [1]A caller on phone had warned the office of Malegaon Marathi Daily Dinkar on September 5 2006 that within a day or two there would be attack and when it was realized he again called to remind that they had carried out the September 8th attack and would carry out another because the people have not taken it seriously.[2 ] That India is for Hindus and Muslims must leave. On September 13 there was a bomb found at Mohammadiya shopping complex. The phone call was also corroborated by a letter to the same effect which was sent to the Jamiatul Ulema-e-Hind office. It was signed by “Sangh Parivar.” Regarding the Parliament attack Arundhati Roy figuratively speaks of the foot prints of the dragon. The letter and phone calls are prosaic illustration of what it was that was not named: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh [RSS]. There is no organization that can choose time and place with such confidence and carry out terrorist attacks with impunity. What Mohan Bhagwat told Swami Asimanand that Sangh was doing it and he should concentrate on tribal development, much later is a confirmation of the truth, dotting the line. If there is involvement of police it is not compartmental but infiltration of the Hindutva ideology in the police force as well as the army. The Congress government had been baulking from naming it fearing backlash in election. When the Home Minister Susdhilkumar Shinde named RSS he recanted the next day. The reach of RSS is beyond computing. Its most remarkable pracharak Sunil Joshi was involved in activities in Jammu and Kashmir. He was also hiding/hibernating in Jammu in a facility that was run by RSS. That was on account of his direct involvement in the murder of a Congress leader and his son. It was again Dyanand Pandey known as Shankaracharya who had his ashram in Jammu. Lt Col Prasad Purohit had close contact with him and in this way J&K, Madhya Pardesh, Maharashtra got linked together. Furthermore Amit Chauhan aka Hakla from Nanded also lived in JK and was trained there. He had exploded the first bomb of the Hindutva laboratory in Parbhany mosque in 2003. His base was Maharashtra but he moved into the Madhya Pardesh module of Sunil Joshi and also worked for Abhinav Bharat. Purohit had provided RDX for Samjhauta Express in 2007 attack in which Hakla was very much involved and is absconding since the truth came in the open. Hakla went by another name in the Madhya Pardesh module: Ramesh Veyankat Mahalkar. He was quite active in the MP module which was behind Malegaon 2006 blasts, Ajmer blasts 2007 and Samjhauta Express blasts 2007. Thus Hakla’s link is established between two sets of attacks, one in which he figured in Marathwada region of Maharashtra and the other in which Haryana(Panipat), Malegaon in Maharshtra and Rajasthan (Ajmer) figure prominently. [3] RSS works in different guises: as VHP in the case of Hakla’s role for he and his family were members of VHP; as Bajrang Dal in the case of Malegaon 2006 attack (Former DGP Dr Pasricha had remarked that it was Bajrang Dal behind Malegaon 2006 blasts.) [4] Thus until Swami Asimanand admitted involvement of Hindutva terrorists in 2006 Malegaon blasts as well the dubiety was hidden. There are many ramifications of what Purohit remarked when he admitted his role in Malegaon blast 2008: "I am the mastermind of the blast. I arranged for the RDX and weapons but I can't understand how the weapons reached Abhinav Bharat members."[5] One, that Purohit was associated with Abhinav Bharat so if he did not know how the RDX was transferred does he mean that the RDX and weapons supplied by him caused the 2008 attack in Malegaon as well as the same consignment of explosives and arms were used by the ATS to frame innocent Muslims in the Arms haul case of Aurangabad-Malegaon-Ankai 2006? If that were true then it would mean that that was also the provenance for 7/11 attack on local trains in Mumbai. The inference is clear that all these sundry cases were dubious terrorist attacks engineered by Hindutva and their sympathizers in police and army but blamed on Muslims. The minority had to bear the cross for years on end. They were the handiwork of Hindutva! Further to note here is that source of RDX is only one way, the army. It is not easy to get it within India. Who else could do it so well than Purohit? If Zabiuddin and others transferred RDX the consignment was certainly not from Pakistan but from army source. It could also mean that it was sourced from Ahmedanagar artillery camp from the where Shanker Shelke got it in his scrap yard. The police commission of Thane SM Sangari had identified one of the attackers on Parliament as Mohammad Yasin Fateh Mohammad aksAbu Hamza arrested in November 2000 and he was handed over to JK. Did the JK special task force use him to attack the Parliament as the same agency used Afzal Guru to escort one Mohammad to Delhi for the attack? Much later Sangari also said that the lead to the attack in Malegaon 2006 is in the mysterious death of the scrap monger Shankar Shelke of Ahmadnagar on September 9, 2006. Some days ago 195 kg of RDX was seized from his scrap yard. He absconded from the police but after Malegaon blast of September 8, 2006 he was arrested. The attack on the Parliament is all the more dubious because member of Parliament Priyaranjan Dashmunshi saw 6 attackers come out of the car while the police say only five had come.
