Freedom from Terrorism
Freedom from Terrorism
Another Blast ripped off in Hyderabad that killed and injured innocents. Again Terrorist organizations are held responsible… once more Pakistan and Bangladesh are blamed. Yet again Islam is in Question in the Discussion forum on the internet and, of course, a section of Indian community is under suspicion.
Is this attitude helping us anywhere or proving to be counterproductive? Is this not a failure of our intelligence and security agencies? Why any politicians don't take the responsibility and resign? Pakistan, Bangladesh may be guilty of killing innocents in India but surely protecting the flaws of security system and a community is proving to be the readymade Bakra to hide the intelligence failure.
Muslims are the most infamous community all over the world especially after the 9/11. A country that today is waging a war against Terrorism has nourished the same organizations for their cause. But Indian Muslims, generally, are not found to be blameworthy of any international crime. Spare the 93 Mumbai Blasts which according to the Justice Sri Krishna is the effect of the demolition of Babri Masjid and the rights that followed, no Muslim is proved to be guilty by the court but some of them were acquitted. Yet they are suspected after every act of Terrorism or they are guilty unless proved innocent.
On the other hand we don't like to question the culprit of war room leak case, the Bajrangis, who were found preparing Bombs, the Maoists who are killings hundreds of innocent people or the religion or ideology they follow.
People who raised their voice against the failure of our intelligence agencies are termed as anti nationals and are given the example of America where everyone stands united against the Terrorists after 9/11. But India is different from the U.S. Blasts and killing of innocent citizens are not common there but here in India our people are killed every now and then. U.S took many steps to beef up security like created a homeland Security department facilitate greater co-operation among the security agencies etc, but we are not accepting the flaws within and this is proving to be fatal.
Let's celebrate the 60th year of our independence by a mass movement against the Government for their complete failure and inability to protect us and lets call for a review of our system of intelligence and security and lets, we, the Indian get freedom from Terrorism.

Taslima Nasreen is back
Taslima Nasreen, a writer, is in the news again strangely for the same reason. Again She is supported by the champions of Freedom of Expression and hated equally by the Muslims. The role of media is also as usual misinforming the people of this country that Muslims dislike Taslima because of her anti Islamic thoughts. The same media is silent on the dubious role played by our government who have initiated a legal proceedings against M.F.Husain, an Indian and granted Amnesty to a foreigner, Taslima.
Taslima Nasreen, is free to believe whatever she likes and also has the right to get her opinion expressed and disseminated but she or anyone else can never be allowed to assassinate the Character of anybody. Those who have gone through her writings are well aware that Her remarks and language against the Prophet Muhammad, is Derogatory and Unquotable. Muslims do not hate her because of her anti Islamic opinion or writings but are agitating against her offensive remarks towards the messenger of Allah.
As far as the Freedom of Expression in our country is concern the Delhi High Court explains it's on MF Hussain case in April 2004. The High court observed, “Under the garb of freedom of expression no person can be allowed to hurt the religious feelings of any class of people.” The Honorable court further aided, "If one has been granted unlimited freedom, one is required or expected to use it for good purpose and not with malicious intention, to defame or degrade religious deities may be mythological, as these immortals are held in highest esteem and over a period become part of one's day to day religious life to such an extent that anything adverse said or printed or painted hurts the religious feelings immensely.”
Today, Freedom of Expression in the media is subject to profit. The noted journalist and the Megasaysay award winner P.Sainath has observed, “ The journalists today are the Stenographer of the owner of the Newspaper and Channels.” Stories are motivated and dropped by the muscle and money power. Journalists today know how much freedom do they have for the expression?

communists and Muslims in India
Apropos article, Jehad against Terrorism by Javed Anand, a known leftist and prominent journalist, he has rightly observed the double standard by the state government of Mahrashtra and Gujrat but ignored to mention the West Bengal Government where Muslims are in the worst condition as mentioned by the Sachar committee. Although one may argue on the proportion but certainly can't deny the apathy as observed in Nandigram.
Naxalites are communist and don't follow any religion. Bush and Blair are Christians who are responsible of killing more than 6 lacks people in Iraq.He is also right to claim that Terrorism is a result of INJUSTICE and has nothing to do with religion because Naxalites are communist and don't follow any religion. Bush and Blair are Christians who are responsible of killing more than 6 lacks people in Iraq.
Secondly it seems a bit odd on his part when he claimed that Indian media did not anticipate the arrival of Global Jihadis because after every terror incidents Lashkar-e-Toiba and Al-Qaida, were the first and only suspect of our national media ignoring Nanded and parbhani blasts. They had arrived in India much before they are yet to arrive.US-based Islamic scholar, Shaikh Khaled Abou El Fadl, is accurate when he says it a proportionality problem, but who is responsible for it. It is the same media that blows up every act of terrorism out of proportion; even instantly naming Muslim organizations before any investigation and do not bother to wait for the truth on investigations to come out. Exactly like the Australian police who went to town treating Dr. Haneef as a terror suspect, with flimsiet evidence if any case. In fact, the whole circus was organised as a dry run for future demonising of their favourite villians, in perfect tune with the US and UK's standard practices. In the end, they had to ear crow and release an innocent person, whose only crime was that he had a Muslim name.Anand is wrong to put Tabligi Jamat and other Muslim Organizations as Pro-active jehadis because they believe in Islam and propagate it. According to his theory then Communist party of India is also a Proactive Terrorist since Naxalites, who believe in communism are killing hundreds of people. Are not they counter feeding each other? Why are they allowed to form a party, fight and win elections in Secular India? According to him then the Pseudo Nationalist parties like BJP, Shiv Sena and RSS should also be a terrorist organization who believe in Hindu religion.

As far as Islam is concerned, yes Muslims believe that it is the only way for the peace and prosperity in this world and hereafter, and so Muslims, do peacefully work for the Humanity, which is not visible to media as they are looking for it.

Sri Krishna Commission
Gross Injustice
123 accused, 100 have been sentenced. 12 have been given death. 20 have
been given life terms, 15 of them with Rigorous Imprisonment and now
The Bombay Blasts case of 1993 is closed and the guilty being punished but the biggest question of today is whether the justice has been done?
The other question arises is about the understanding of law also the hypocrisy of the politicians and the role of the activist Media who played a significant role in the Jessica lal and Nitish Katara cases.
The case of Sanjay Dutt explains the situation after the Babri Masjid Demolition especially in Mumbai. The person of his stature got the threatening calls just because their family was helping a suffering community and for that reason he has to avail the illegal weapons. The Sri Krishna commission explains what has happened to the common people. 900 killed, 1,829 injured and 165 missing in the gruesome riots of December 1992, and January 1993 in Mumbai. The criminal cases, trial and convictions against a minority section of society and an unbinding commission, as proclaimed by the Supreme court, against the other sections simply explore the Hippocratic approach by the Politicians, say Congress.
Repeating the Histories of Right related commission reports the Political parties read Congress has done the same with this report. Government after the government has changed in the Maharashtra and in the Center, after 1998 when Justice Sri Krishna submitted it report but, till today, Action Taken committee highlighted 100 lapses in which no action or inappropriate action has been taken. 12 major lapses against senior political leaders like Bal Thackrey, Madhukar sarpotdar of Shiv Sena, 18 lapses against Police officers and the 78 other lapses. People of India had no hope from the Fascist Parties like Shiv Sena and the BJP but Congress has proved itself that they are no different as far as justice to a community is concern or a fear of loosing Vote of Majority.
Noting that nine years had passed since the Commission submitted its report, The National Commission for Minorities (NCM) would approach the Prime Minister to press for early implementation of the Srikrishna Commission Report but Where is the Minister of Minority? And what is he doing? He has been seeing on the Television interview advocating the rights of Kashmiri Pandits which is absolutely fine but in this case he never bother to say a word.
With the due respect to the hard work of Justice Kode, now a well-known and respected name in the legal fraternity, and the tedious work of Justice Sri Krishna a retired High court Judge, who investigated the 1992-93 rights, their reading about the Mumbai blast is different. A common Indian is unable to understand that Justice Sri Krishna in his report has observed that the Mumbai blast is a reaction of rights after the demolition of Babri masjid while Justice Kode, don’t agree with it. Where are the people who laugh at two different Fatwas by Maulanas on an issue?
The STF was constituted in August 2000 as a prosecuting agency in the riots cases, but in the interview to a news paper Satish Gaikwad, DCP (STF), maintains “Our profile has changed a great deal over the years. We are only meant to monitor the riot-related cases and see that nothing untoward happens in the investigations carried out by local police stations. All work related to the riots was handled by the STF a long time ago and now it’s the responsibility of the police stations” and their main job now is to bust milk adulteration and spurious oil rackets in the city. What a pity??
With the certain exception, the media who were so inquisitive and work as an activist in some cases individual cases and help them to get justice is silent on this Gross injustice. The general media, as usual, is running after Sanjay dutt, a TRP Booster. What he likes? Where does he live? What is he eating so on and so forth? And a newspaper quoted the eminent Editor, of a News Channel, who declared this approach as fair. Besides Urdu newspaper, Hindustan Times, Mumbai edition, under the Courageous Editor, Samar Halarnkar, has started a campaign to implement the Sri Krishna commission Report by exposing the Lapses and it should be applauded and supported.
Following a recent example of the Australians our media and all the Indians should start a campaign against this Gross injustice.
History has proved that unjust Society can’t remain peaceful and the people have to bear the burnt of it. Injustice will facilitate the terrorist organization-mobilizing people for their cause and will diminish the impact of moderates in the Society. Judiciary is helpless Politicians are hypocrites, Administration is guilty and therefore It is the high time that we the people of India, the media raise our Voice and strengthen our Democracy and Justice in our Society.
