window panes to see if there was a bomb inside.
According to police, the car was parked near the Indian Museum on the
Jawaharlal Nehru Road since Saturday night.
Panicky shopkeepers alerted the police when they found the Toyota Land
Cruiser parked at the same spot Sunday morning too.
Policemen broke open the window panes, only to find a driving licence,
documents, books and articles of daily use. An officer said the car
owner was an Oxford University student, Alexander Henry Parcel.
"Maybe, he had gone to Pakistan sometime back and hired the car there
and brought it to India. He has all the proper documents," the officer
said.
Muhammad Javed Zball (nee Ekball) might want to recall the actions of
90,000 Paki soldiers in East Pakistan of 1971. They went on a murder
spree against unarmed Bengali civilians that resulted in the death of
3 million and the rape of a quarter million.
But all this "Bravery" was against unarmed civilians. The moment
Indian military entered the fray, the 90,000 soldiers had in no time
surrendered to the Indian army to escape from getting torn to pieces
by the Bengalis.
Now that's what I see as the height of cowardice.
V.S. Naipaul has stated that the 1971 war was a shock to Muslims
of the Indian subcontinent. It shook their belief in Muslim
superiority over the hated Kafir Hindus and other non-Muslims.
