Ishrat Jahan was killed alongwith Javed Seikh a known LeT sleeper cell member & 2 Pakistani nationals - Amjad Ali & Jishan Johar Abdul Ghani - both LeT terrorists, on June 15, 2004. The whole Ishrat incident has 4 important elements – 1. Was Ishrat a terrorist, 2. Was the encounter a fake one and if so what was the motive, 3. Was the encounter necessary & 4. Is this incident being politicised for... vote bank politics even at the cost of demoralizing the law enforcement & security agencies. I would like to place a few facts & analyse these, based on those 4 elements :-
1.
a) If Ishrat was innocent, is there any explanation as to why she had gone to Ahmedabad, which is almost 500 km away from her home with an LeT operative Javed Sheikh. If she was working for Javed as a sales girl of perfume and If was abducted by Gujarat police and kept in confinement, why was her family never lodged any police complain when they didn’t hear from her for a few days. Also, there is proof that this was not her first visit to Gujarat with Sheikh, she came there earlier too.
b) In 2004, IB recorded a few conversations between the 3 people killed alongwith Ishrat and their Pakistani handlers, clearly pointing towards some plan to kill important political leaders in Gujarat and also commit act of terror in public places. The news channel Headline Today run a story on those and even played the tapes. Soon after Isharat and her 3 accomplishes were killed, LeT had owned up Ishrat, with its Lahore-based mouthpiece 'Ghazwa Times' describing her as an LeT activist & martyr and taking umbrage at the action of Indian cops in removing her veil.
c) In 2009, the union home ministry under the then home minister Chidambaram and home secy GK Pillai submitted an affidavit in Gujarat High Court certifying that there were enough proof of Ishrat and her 3 accomplishes were LeT operatives.
d) In 2010, NIA during it’s interrogation of David Coleman Headley, was told with details that Ishrat was a LeT operative recruited by Muzammil, an Let commander incharge of India operations till 2007 and was part of a module planned to kill important politicians in Gujarat and wage war against india.
2. There are reasons to believe that the encounter was not completely genuine but what CBI has completely failed to explain is what was the ulterior motive of the IB & Gujarat Police to kill these 4 people other than saving the nation and it’s people from terrorist attacks. The so called human rights organizations can just watch the killing of thousands of civilians by terrorists but they can't miss a chance to malign the image of our security agencies even when out of 4 killed, 3 were definitely terrorists & 2 of them were Pakistani nationals illegally entered India to wage war against this nation & it’s people, but it's being called a FAKE encounter.
3. While there is no denying the fact that even Intelligence organizations have to be made accountable for their actions, it should also be remembered that this is an asymmetric war waged against an enemy who does not play by the rules & that nowhere in the world such organizations engaged in a shadowy war against terrorists, operate and can succeed within the rules applicable to normal security agencies dealing with common criminals. After the various terror attacks in India in public places including 2001 Parliament attack and specially the Indian airlines plan hijack incident of 1999, the security agencies had taken a decision to minimize taking terrorists in custody. Also, if we analyse many other encounters including Batala House in Delhi, we will find that this was not the only case where some terrorists could have been taken into custody instead of killing. Terrorists should be treated as special class of criminal & enemies of the state and must be eliminated without any hesitation. Even the collateral damage, if it occurs must be overlooked for the safety of the country & other citizens. India has shed enough blood & the criminally insane as well as agents of Pakistan/Bangladesh, who behave like bloodhounds should be shot at site as it is in the interest of the security of the masses.
4. The Government of the day must protect the people who sacrifice their life every day and not allow them to become fodder of terrorists & jihadis.. Politics must be set aside while dealing with terrorism. The intelligence agencies & its personnel must be treated with respect and not as fodder to get more votes to remain in power. But sadly in this Ishrat Jahan encounter case, the UPA & Congress Govt & their members are using it as a political tool to settle score with Narendra Modi. Their “Modiphobia” is such that they are now questioning the motive of IB, NIA & everyone just for the sake of politics. This they feel will help them garner sympathy vote of Muslim community in India, who vote in group as per the direction given by their religious leaders like Imam Bukhari. The so called “secular” Congress party is trying heaven & earth with the sole aim of 'catching' Narendra Modi by hook or crook, even if the terror operatives of LeT/JuD/JeM have a field day in massacring the people of this country. Otherwise why is CBI not questioning Ishrat’s mother as to why did she not filled a missing person complain when her daughter was not contactable for quite a few days?? Why are they not investigating how she came in contact with Javed Seikh, what were their relations & activities?? Why did she visit UP with Javed?? Why are they not investigating and answering, why the 3 others killed alongwith ishrat were in Gujarat and what were their background?? Of course, the “secular” Congress & it’s “caged parrot” CBI are scared that this will jeopardize their Muslim vote bank. It is an extremely worrisome development, where establishment for their own personal greed of power, can go to such an extent, that, they don't believe their own intelligence establishment & go on putting pressure on another investigating agency, to shield, aiding & abetting the disruptive forces of terrorism & their sympathisers, which are destabilising the very Nation, they are supposed to protect. The Congress Party is not only demoralizing the security forces & investigating/intelligence agencies, but also all apolitical/nationalistic citizens & groups, not thinking what adverse effect it will have on the existence of our Country.
