Short-sighted & Power hungry leaders of the Congress like Sushil Kumar Shinde, do not seem to realise that they are playing into the hands of Pakistan & weakening India’s campaign against Pakistani state as well as non state terrorism. Pak...istan has been trying to link prosecution of the accused in the 26/11 attack in Mumbai with India’s prosecution of the accused in the Samjhauta Express blast. Shinde's totally unwarranted, mischievous & out of place statement carefully avoids any condemnation of the Pakistani state sponsored terrorism in India alongwith terrorist organizations like LeT, JuD, JeM & the known terror masterminds like Hafiz Saeed, Maulana Masud , Dawood Ibrahim or even their sympathisers like Hurriyat leaders of Kashmir or Akbaruddin Owaisi etc. Now 26/11 Mumbai attacks mastermind & LeT/JuD Chief Hafiz Saeed is exploiting Home Minister Shinde's “disastrous" speech during AICC meet at Jaipur against the RSS & BJP, saying Indian "propaganda" against Pakistan & Pakistani organisations of spreading terror now stood "exposed". He also accused India of involvement in terrorist activities in Pakistan along with spreading false propaganda against that country. He claimed that India tried to involve Pakistan & Pakistani nationals including him in the Mumbai attacks but even after 5 years, unable to establish anything against them in the courts. He also demanded that Pakistan govt. should take steps to get India declared "a terrorist state" by the UN Security Council. As per Saeed, there is Hindu terrorism against Muslims in India which justifies the LeT's acts of reprisal to protect the Indian Muslims.
Investigation into some pre-2008 terrorist incidents, based largely on the interrogation of some arrested Hindu suspects, who professed the Hindutva ideology, brought out that some of them such as the Malegaon & Samjhauta Express blasts were acts of reprisal against the Muslims by some Hindu extremists who had association with the RSS in the past. The investigation so far, have not found any evidence against the BJP or the RSS, & that they had any knowledge or role in these incidents. These can be at best purely rogue acts of reprisal by these individuals with past association with these organisations. But even the evidences against these individuals appears to be more circumstantial than direct. Moreover, immediately after the Samjhauta Express blast, the United States intelligence agencies had assessed that it was caused by the LeT. They’ve not come out with any subsequent denial on it. Investigation into these cases has been taken over by the National Investigation Agency formed by the Union home ministry in 2009 when P Chidambaram was the home minister. Despite all its efforts & resources, the NIA has not so far been able to come out with a comprehensive conclusion on the alleged involvement of some Hindu extremists in these incidents. MHA is not showing any sense of urgency in completing the investigation & prosecute the suspects. It looks like the Congress & UPA Govt. is trying to use NIA for politically demonise the BJP & the RSS by periodically levelling allegations against them & this will continue till 2014 General Election.
