A Former IG of Maharashtra Police Lays Bare a Massive Plot to Destabilize India
PakistanPal
NEW DELHI : A new book curiously titled Who Killed Karkare? says a
nationwide network of Hindutva terror that has its tentacles spread up
to Nepal and Israel is out to destroy the India most Indians have
known for ages and to remould it into some kind of Afghanistan under
the Taliban.
The writer, a former IG Police of Maharashtra, SM Mushrif, has
reconstructed a fearsome picture out of former Maharashtra ATS chief
Hemant Karkare's chargesheet against alleged Hindutva terrorists like
Lt. Col. Purohit, Sadhvi Pragyasingh Thakur and others.
The charge sheet pointed towards a mind-boggling nationwide conspiracy
with international support to destabilise the constitutional order and
the secular democratic Indian state that upholds it, to be replaced by
a Hindutva state run according to a new Constitution. For that the
conspirators were prepared for a massive bloodbath, using bomb attacks
on religious places to trigger that anti-Muslim holocaust.
Mushrif, who has over three decades of diligent policing behind him
and whose feats include exposing the Telgi scam, has made an elaborate
case out of nearly a dozen blasts over a large area of the country
conducted by Hindutva terror groups of different stripes. His case: a
section of India's intelligence services, a miniscule group in the
armed forces and a section of different state police forces have been
compromised and infiltrated by these elements, a development that
bodes ill for the future of the country.
In Hemant Karkare's net (of investigations, of course) many big and
small fishes of VHP, RSS, Bajrang Dal and Sanatan Sanstha (which has
been found to be involved in Diwali-eve blasts in Goa last week) had
been trapped. Serving and retired army officers, academics, serving
and retired officials of India's premier intelligence service were
ensnared in Karkare's fishing net.
The menacing power of the latter groups, inspired by sustained anti-
Muslim hate campaigns of the last six decades, gave the plot a
sinister and highly destructive character. Among the plans unearthed
by Karkare was a blueprint for the assassination of 70 prominent
Indians who could by a hindrance to the project of Hindutva.
Interestingly, most of the persons marked for elimination would,
naturally, be Hindus because it is they who primarily run the
dispensation. The conspirators were also unhappy with organisations
whose Hindutva they suspected to be less virulent than desired.
Mushrif, who very well knows the power of the Intelligence Bureau (IB)
to make or mar lives and careers, says
he is prepared to face the consequences of hostility of this power
hub. He musters "evidence" to show that the IB has regularly been
interfering with regular police investigations to let Hindutva
terrorists slip out of the net and replace them with random Muslim
youth. To fudge the issues further obliging police officers in the
states would not mind exterminating a few Muslim youth to be branded
posthumously as "terrorists".
There are quite a few number of such cases where such extra-judicial
killing of Muslim youth has turned out to be false police encounters.
All this is done to cover tracks of Hindutva terror. Mushrif says a
"Brahminist" network that has its origins in Maharashtra, and is
closely knit across political parties, government services, including
IB, and other vital sectors of life is behind the terror that seeks to
destroy the secular, democratic state. He hastens to clarify that very
few Brahminists are Brahmins. Many are from other high Hindu castes,
some from middle and lower castes. Most Brahmins are fair-minded and
would not like to associate themselves with hate ideologies. Hemant
Karkare, too, was a Brahmin, Mushrif says. So is Mushrif's son-in-law.
It is pertinent to note that "Brahminism" and "Brahminical order"
first appeared in Dalit protest vocabulary in the Dalit uprising
movement in Maharashtra towards the turn of the 20th century. Mushrif,
who appropriates part of this vocabulary for the present discourse,
says that Maharashtra still remains the centre of this ideology that,
among other things, has the dubious distinction of killing the Father
of the Nation. The power establishment that really runs the affairs of
this country (Mushrif says it is not Sonia Gandhi, Manmohan Singh or
Rahul Gandhi) does not want to expose the Hindutva terrorists. One
example is the blasts in Samjhauta Express, which the IB said was
carried out by Pakistan's ISI. Mushrif quotes a report in The Times of
India that said, "the Centre had blamed the ISI on the basis of the
IB's findings."
However, during a narco-analysis test under Karkare, Lt. Col. Purohit
had admitted having supplied the RDX used in the blast. The IB, which
draws its power from its proximity to the Prime Minister (its director
briefs the PM every morning for half an hour), did not want Karkare's
investigation that blew the cover off the IB's shenanigans to
continue. Once Karkare was removed from the scene, the IB moved in to
fill his position with KP Raghuvanshi, a pliant police officer with
extremely low credibility among Muslims for his record of letting off
known Hindutva terrorirsts and implicating innocent Muslim youth even
in bomb attack cases on mosques.
There are quite a few interesting vignettes here, like Raghuvanshi and
Col. Purohit's association with Abhinav Bharat in Maharashtra, whose
hand was evident in a series of blasts across the country. It has old
connections with men like Veer Damodar Savarkar (whose relative Himani
Savarkar leads the Abhinav Bharat movement), Dr Munje, who led the
Hindu Mahasabha, and other Hindutva luminaries.
It is at the Bhonsala Military Academy run by these groups that
Purohit trained police officers, including Raghuvanshi. Mushrif asks a
pertinent question: Will Raghuvanshi pursue the investigation against
Purohit, his guru? A plausible answer is, perhaps no. Already charges
have been dropped by a special court under MCOCA against 11 accused,
including Purohit, on the grounds of insufficient evidence produced in
the court by the prosecution.
This was just the beginning of the undoing of Karkare's painstaking
investigation. Mushrif says slowly the system is working to undo all
of Karkare's work and let off the terrorists who over the years
destroyed scores of lives and wreaked irreparable economic damage. The
ATS team under Karkare had pointed out VHP leader Praveen Togadia's
role in the blasts. The ATS under Raghuvanshi dropped the
investigation against him saying (please hold your laughter) they do
not know who Togadia is! A number of investigations have been thus
sabotaged by the powers that be and the tracks of the Hinduta
terrorists duly covered. The 319-page book is crammed with such
information.
But what about who killed Karkare? Mushrif says two teams were at work
on 26/11 -- one which did the maximum damage, and was from outside.
The smaller team took advantage of the confusion of the moment and
acted only on the relatively small CST-CAMA-Rangbhavan stretch that
killed Karkare. It was a desi unit that wanted Karkare and his men out
of the way. (The Milli Gazette)
