What is terrorism and how are we fighting?

 

 

      A serving lieutenant colonel of Indian army had talked to the Israelis authorities about establishing a Hindu rashtra or kingdom in India. He extracted such promises: facilities as diplomatic recognition, an embassy in the Israelis capital and supply of weapons. And to prove his bona fide of his organization Abhinav Bharat: to carry out at least two bomb blasts. This was done. Two blasts followed at Malegaon 2006 and 2008.  His complaint was that the Israelis receive messages but do not send definite communication as a reply. But the rulers of Israel keep bilateral contact.

Israel and Hamas agreed to ceasefire under the influence of US representative regarding the ten day war that started on May 10 2021.  The PM of Israel Benjamin Netanayahu concluded his reaction by summing: the agreement to a cease fire was travesty and it would lead to more acts of terrorism!

       Subsequently India’s foreign minister SJaishanker went to Israel and spoke on terrorism as if he was avoiding nit picking. Terrorism is not acceptable howsoever you call it as "any way legitimate as diplomacy" or "unorthodox statecraft", adding that the "bigger issues" are matter of concern.

       If Pakistan continues infiltration so will continue terrorism. Infiltration is equated with terrorism. The way BJP leaders’ call to shoot the traitors (Anuraj Thakur) and taking law into hands (Kapil Mishra) if the police do not remove the protesters on the day of President Tump’s departure. These utterances are acts of terrorism. They have undermined the secular character of the country. PM Modi tried to hide the naked truth what was the right wing Hindutva party BJP doing in clear defiance. The current government was following the agenda of RSS. The foreign secretary while still in service kept mum. But after retirement he joined BJP and he was made a member of parliament. This was a sea change and it brought in open what was latent. [Compare him with Ambassador Nirupama Rao [nee,Nirupama Menon when we were in MA English literature class at the Marathwada University, Aurangabad]. She advocated our politicians to have “sense and sensibility” and shun “pride and prejudice.” She also advised disputed part of Kashmir to be turned into a “village common”. This would have avoided frequent bouts of terrorism and trauma like innocent children of Pathribal. The hiatus of change in the new foreign minister of India S Jaishanker is ominous and a fateful departure from the past. India remained absent in the UNO resolution in favor of a human rights commission inquiry in the atrocities on Gaza Palestinian settlement. 

         The day Jaishanker went to the United Sates to persuade American companies to expedite supply of vaccines he abandoned reason like PM Modi during the election in West Bengal. He got entangled with National Security Advisor McMaster who questioned his secular country’s record of communal tension.  He failed to rise to the occasion.

 

         "When you come down to real governance, there is a difference

between the political imagery [emphasis added] that has been

concocted and actual governance record out there". What does the foreign minister mean by “out there”? It could be surgical strike; it could be Patrhibal killing as in the photo:

o Pathribal killing was the outcome of terror attack although HM LK Advani and Narendra Modi distributed monetary awards to Indian soldiers who had killed actually innocent shepherds and blamed them as     terrorists. This kind of reward hides the truth. Imagery in song is different from actual life. These are grief stricken children of a Sikh family who lost their parents in the attack. This was also example of ‘intense shooting’. Can this visualizing tragedy match Shakespeare when Lady Macbeth mocks her husband Macbeth that she would have dashed the brain her own suckling child against a rock! Will this go to prove that we are fighting terrorism?

As to the foreign funds used in Malegaon attack it is necessary to look at how the funds end up in India, the real end users. There are documented proofs that huge amounts of money collected in the US go into the accounts of VHP and other conglomerates of RSS. Sonal Shah and her father Ramesh have been in the core group of VHPA [America] and have been instrumental in sending fund under the name of Eklavya Vidyalaya for backward tribals. But the real use is not to ameliorate the lot of the tribal people by educating them, it is rather to convert them to Hinduism if they are animists or have taken to Christianity. In the anti Christian riots in Kanthamal of Orissa and other parts of India it is this fund that played havoc as it did in 2002 against the Muslims of Gujarat. The backward community of Charras was roped in by the RSS to wreak “vengeance” on the Muslims by slaughtering them. This confession is caught on camera and no action has been taken as if that was not terrorism.
 Defense minister George Fernandes had asked the army chief, the Air Marshal, and the Admiral to report the Kargil war to MPs. When the three went to the place it was the party office of BJP. That is how the sangh parivar interferes in the affairs of the armed forces, directly.

Malegaon blasts 

Abrar Ahmed is the most important accused. There is a Janus like split personality in him. According to circumstantial evidence he was spotted at Mushawarat chowk on September 8, 2006 parking a cycle exactly where the fourth bomb exploded. It is also reported that the people who saw him were at the phone booth of Mufti Ismail and company. Since then the mufti has not only become MLA but also a vocal critic of Abrar. This vital clue is still viable for probe.
       But then Abrar has also given an affidavit to MOCOCA court in which he says that the additional superintendant of police Rajwardhan, Sachin Kadam and Suboth Kumar Jaiswal (both of ATS) had gone to meet him in the JJ hospital on September 1, 2008. When Abrar reprimanded them for getting him into trouble and betraying him they assured him that they would get him out on bail. This is high treason on their part if proved in the court of law. Its implications are very disturbing. It would mean that the 2006 bombs were exploded by a team which included Abrar. But it would also mean that it was insider’s job. That the police were involved in the conspiracy of exploding bombs, at least at the Mushawarat chowk. This would also confirm what Lieutenant colonel Prasad Purohit had said that Abhinav Bharat had used Students Islamic Movement of India prior to 2008 blast. That Muslims were used in carrying out the task which the Hindutva terrorists had designed.
       More than these two serious and dangerous implications is the third that the trio which went to visit Abrar wanted to destroy the new investigators which included the new chief of ATS Hemant Karkare. He had already found out the truth of 2006 though he was officially investigating 2008 blast. It could also mean that Karkare was the first who had come to know that 2006 was not the work of SIMI but of the Hindutva group of the RSS pracharaks like Sunil Joshi (who was alive at the time of 2006 blasts), Kalsangra, Dange, Aseemanand, Pragya Singh Thakur, etc.
       The implications are far reaching. Jaiswal had since then joined R&AW. Does it mean that that agency got involved in this terror? And now Jaiswal has become head of CBI.

       Thus the deep state in   India is powerful but extraneous to real democracy. Jaishanker cannot pretend to be ignorant of it. 

It will embarrass India’s new CBI chief Jaiswal of what transpired earlier and what Jaishanker says now.
