What kind of relations India has with Israel?
By Hasan Kamal
Multiple bomb blasts in India, serial bomb blast in Mumbai local trains as
well as in Samjhauta Express; all have been routinely branded by the
authorities as terrorist activities. However, Urdu Media in India expressed its
suspicion openly that Israel's Intelligence Agency, Mossad was responsible for
those acts or was responsible for organizing these blasts. Urdu Media reasoned
that the special style of bomb blasts was similar to the typical of Mossad
covert activities; especially as in recent past Mossad was responsible for such
destruction activities in many countries. It is therefore highly strange that
neither any other language Media supported nor contradicted the suspicion of
Urdu Media. All kept mum and feigning ignorance. ( Is this some conspiracy of
silence? VM.MN)
It is rather impossible that Non-Urdu Media did not get the news of our Urdu
Media's suspicion as it was the subject of much discussion in many Urdu
Newspapers. Now, it seems that the suspicion of Urdu Media is not based merely
on speculation and nor it is directly related to the fact that Urdu Media will
always side with Palestine in any conflict situation between Palestine and
Israel. Or that Urdu Media is overall always against the existence of Israel.
The new sensational revelations show that this accusation carries clear that
Indian government sought Israel's help earlier in some matters and this is an
open secret that help for any destructive activity comes through Mossad.
in the same manner as American government gets help for such destructive
activities through CIA a news in December 05, 2007 in "Times Of India" is the
basis of involvement of Mossad in India with frightening details. According to
this news two American journalists book reveals a sensational item.
Edrin Levy and Catherine Scot Clark's book "Deception" talks about different
American government's connivance about Pakistan's Atomic programme but the
writers have researched that India's Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was in favour
of destroying Pakistan's Atomic Plant at Kahota in 1983 since it had been
established that this Plant was speedily manufacturing Atomic Bomb.
According to the book, Indira Gandhi instructed Air Chief Marsha Dilbag Singh
to handle this matter personally. This operation was named "Operation Strike"
just like Israel's operation against Iraqi Atomic Plants. Air Marshal Dilbag
Singh ordered Jaguar Squadron to start practicing air strikes at low levels
with 2000 pound bombs. In 1983 when preparations for attack were in an advanced
stage, Indian officers made a secret tour of Israel for getting some armaments
from Israel to destroy Kahota Plant.
On February 25 1983 Indira Gandhi accused Pakistan for secretly manufacturing
Atomic Bomb and just after three days Chief of Indian Nuclear Programme Raja
Ramanna declared that India was also trying to seek facility for proliferation
of Uranium. Pakistan's Intelligence Agency ISI doubting Indian activity sent a
warning to Indian RAW and Raja Ramanna met his counterpart Pakistani Chief
Munir Khan at Imperial Hotel where he warned that in case of attack at Kahota
it will be retaliated with an attack on Indian Atomic Plant of Trombay which
will render a large number of people in Mumbai to suffer from Atomic radiation.
India cancelled this operation after this meeting but Israel intervened by
claiming that it will complete this operation on its own, if permitted to use
Jamnagar air force Base. Indira Gandhi feared that involvement of Israel will
bring in total Atomic war between India, Pakistan and Israel. Therefore, she
totally abandoned her attack plans.
This book further claims that American CIA secretly informed General
Ziaul-Haque about it; so that sequence of reaction should change the situation.
In Pakistani Media the creator of Pakistani Atom Bomb Dr. Abdul Qadir Khan put
forward tall claims about Pakistan's capacity. Consequent to this, India and
Israel retreated from the scene. Without accepting the truth of these
revelations we can ask that if Israel's help could be sought in the past for
such programmes, has this action been terminated or India's certain vested
elements and certain agencies are still seeking cooperation of Israel. This
doubt has been raised many times that India's relations with Israel are not
limited to ambassadorial levels.
During NDA government, LK Advani not only praised Israel but he has even
advised many times that Mossad's help should be taken to overcome terrorism in
Kashmir; since Mossad was successful to defeat "Palestinian terrorists". But
Advani's inauspicious idea was severely opposed by many Indian political
circles and he could not activate his idea. But was it not possible for Advani
being the Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister to take Israel's help through
Mossad stealthily? There is one still more important question is the presence
of sympathizers of America and Israel at high levels of administration. Is the
secret system (of active collaboration with Israel) is still in continuation?
We are sure that the suave and 'peace-loving' Manmohan Singh is fully in the
know of this unholy alliance and its dangerous consequences. Especially now
that America and Israel are fast losing their influence and authority, even
though that they are still regarded as superpowers. Both are being corroded
from inside by their negative and adversarial policies. Any alliance with these
powers will be a losing proposition. Still we are fully convinced that the
so-called revelations of the journalists are based on true facts.

BJP sowed the seeds of terrorism
CONGRESS ACCUSES BJP'S BABRI MASJID DEMOLITION FOR GENERATING TERRORISM IN
THE COUNTRY: M. VEERAPPA MOILY
New Delhi, December 16: Accusing BJP who is well known for targeting a
particular community over the pretext of terrorism, the Congress said that it
was Saffron Party who sowed the seeds of terrorism in the country by
demolishing the historical mosque of Babri.
Talking to a news agency ANI, a senior congress leader M. Veerappa Moily
targeted BJP and said that seed of terrorism was sowed by the BJP under Advani
by the demolition of religious place like the Babri Masjid. Accusing Modi for
the post terror events, he added that "That is how India became vulnerable to
international terrorism."
Moily, who is also the chairman of the Administrative Reforms Commission,
said that most of the terror related incidents like the attacks on the Akshar
Dham Temple, Raghunath Temple, Parliament and the hijacking of the Indian
Airlines plane took place during the NDA regime led by the BJP.
Commenting on the remarks made by L K Advani that Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan
Singh is a political novice who has no understanding of politics, Moily said
that Dr. Singh is a 'statesman' and thus does not understand Advani's 'narrow
and divisive politics'. Defending Manmohan Sing Moily said that "Dr. Singh will
not downgrade himself to Advani's level" he also adding that the BJP's Prime
Ministerial candidate only dreams and always thinks of becoming the Prime
Minister of the country.
"Dr. Singh is a great economist of the world and thinks for the development
of the country" Moily added. Flaying the BJP for comparing Advani with India's
first Union Home Minister, Sardar Patel, Moily said that Advani was disastrous
as the Home Minister of the country and added that the party has played a 'big
joke' by declaring Advani as the next Prime Minister.

Maharashtra government bends over Khwaja Yunus case
FINALLY! THE GOVERNMENT IS READY TO PAY COMPENSATION TO KHWAJA'S MOTHER; THE
QUANTUM OF COMPENSATION WOULD BE DECIDED WITHIN TWO WEEKS; THE STATE GOVERNMENT
PRESENTED THE LIST OF ALLEGED MURDERERS TO THE COURT; ACTION AGAINST ONLY THREE
POLICE PERSONNEL DISSATISFIES THE LAWYER OF KHAWJA YUNUS'S MOTHER
Mumbai December 14: (Ansari Ejaz Ahmad / SNB).The Home department of the
state government presented the list of alleged murderers of Ghatkopar Bomb
Blast accused Syed Khwaja Yunus to the Bombay High Court and informed the court
that the Maharashtra government had granted sanction to prosecute PSI Sachin
Vaze and three other constables.
The court was also informed that the state government was ready to pay
compensation to mother of the murdered victim who filed an affidavit to the
court to seek compensation and the quantum of compensation would be decided
within two weeks. According to the state government the investigation was
incomplete till today but since it has been completed now therefore
compensation was granted. Counsel for the petitioner Mihir Desai, after going
through the list of personnel in sanction order, alleged that the state had
purposely omitted names of police officers indicted by State CID, adding that
in an affidavit the investigation agency had clearly divulged involvement of
ACP Ambadas Pote, PI Arun Borude and PI Rajendra Joshi and their names were now
missing from the order of sanction.
According to advocate Mihir Desai, the state government only made sacrificial
goat of some police officers while main culprits are still free.
Today, before a division bench comprising Justice R M S Khandeparkar and
Justice Amjad Sayed, Public Prosecutor Satish Borulkar informed the court that
the sanction to prosecute PSI Sachin Waze and three constables, Rajendra
Tiwari, Rajendra Nikam and Sunil Desai, under whose custody the accused was
murdered and these people can give clue about Khwaja Yunus as to whether he has
been murdered or he is still alive. Satish Borulkar also informed that the
state CID has completed their investigation therefore the state government
agreed to take further action along with compensation. Objecting on the
statement of the public prosecutor, Mihir Desai, the lawyer of Asiya Begum told
that the state CID is not taking any action against listed names in their
report; nor they mentioned anything about them therefore the process is still
unsatisfactory.
After hearing both parties, the court postponed the case till 16th January
and ordered- if the petitioner is unsatisfied with the action of state
government then she should file her objection again in the court.
It should be noted that Khwaja Yunus was allegedly tortured in police custody
which resulted in his death, later on police concocted a story that he ran
away. After the incident mother of Khwaja Yunus filed an affidavit to the
Bombay high court and demanded for CBI probe. Bombay high court handed over the
case to the state CID and consequently came to know that Khwaja Yunus was
murdered.

Editorial
Racialism and prejudice
There seems to be an epidemic to accuse the Third World particularly Muslims
and Muslim countries for every crime in the book. The Third World and Muslims
are being accused for climate change, global warming, corruption, terrorism and
for every terrible situation of the world. Lately Tarun Vijay, editor of RSS
mouthpiece, " Panchjanya" and Eyan Harsi Ali's articles published in various
national dailies are a resounding example of such evil minds. I do not want
here to counter their non-sensical ideas but I want my readers to acquaint
themselves with my objection against such perverse mindset that was similarly
reprinted in "The Guardian", London by Grey Young and in "Jasarat", Karachi by
Shahnawaz Farooqi.
Recently Ashkan Dejagah an Iranian-born German football player has refused to
play in Israel because if he played there; he may be stripped of his right to
go back to his country. Now some German senior officers are trying to withdraw
him from national team. Grey Young wrote that historically Iranians are not as
much opponents of Israel as Germans are. The country who establishes its
foundation on decayed culture and civilization, it may face the same
consequences as German faces today. It is Germany where mass genocide of Jews
took place but still Jews are here in large numbers. Therefore it would be
non-sensical for German leaders to throw stones on others sitting in their
glass houses.
There is not only Germany but all European countries have same attitude full
of prejudice and arrogance towards other immigrants in general and Muslims in
particular. They mark them as idiots and uncultured and exhort them to follow
Western culture as a must.
Grey Young also wrote that Muslims' piety does not please Western countries.
Hence their foremost attempt is to take off this piety, teach them sexuality
and immorality. Remove their hatred against Jews and assure them by promising
an imaginary paradise of the West. Due to propaganda, Western Countries have
earned privileged position; therefore innocent people consider these countries
an earthly heaven.
France is not different form it; wherein violence and demoralization has
appeared due to financial crises. But French officials blame foreigners for
this situation as well as they think Muslims are trying to corrupt French
culture and its civilization. According to Grey Young, today France has lost
its cultural values and their arrogant attitude and racial bigotry has
compelled them to import every thing including films and fast-food from
America. If Imam of a mosque dislikes women who are semi-naked in front of the
mosque, it is termed as racialism but on the other hand if a surgeon refuses to
admit Muslim women who observe Hijab, it is not called so. Law should be
equally abided by every one. Corruption and violence always come as a result of
injustice and double standard in the society.
Grey Young also wrote that today it is a fashion to identify Muslim as a
fundamentalist but what American actions could be termed which are similar to
fundamentalism? The West desires Muslim to be secular but they do not grant due
freedom to Muslims in their own countries.
As far as the matter of corruption is concerned, of course Third World
countries with India and Pakistan are listed as most corrupted. But who is
responsible for this?
In this perspective Shahnawaz Farooqi asked two questions:
Firstly; yes, corruption is an endemic cancer in our countries and we need
not set up any "Transparency International" like organization to monitor it;
but I want to ask that those who are spotting corruption in our judicial
system, police force and parliamentary system, why do they not declare that
they themselves had played a key role in this corruption. Why rulers of Third
World countries are amassing public money and keeping accounts in Europe and
America? Why they are not worried about it?
Secondly; I advocate that corruption can be monitored on international level
but why did they not constitute regulations that could stop smuggling of black
money to Western countries. The Western countries should see the beam in their
eyes; not the straw in the eyes of others.
In the end, Mr. Grey Young suggested that peace and harmony could not be
maintained unless racialism and prejudice ends.
