HuJI ban takes no note of 'Hindu terror' role​

Vishwa Mohan, TNN, Aug 8, 2010, 03.10am IST

NEW DELHI: Contrary to Centre's growing estimate that alleged Hindu extremists carried out the May 2007 Mecca Mosque blast in Hyderabad, the United States and the United Nations have held the Pakistan-based Harkat-ul-Jihad Islami (HuJI) responsible for it. The UN has, in fact, termed the blast a joint operation of HuJI and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and listed a number of other terror attacks in India in which these outfits were involved.

HuJI's role in the Mecca Mosque blast was highlighted both by the US and the UN while banning the outfit as a `terrorist organisation' and designating its top commander Ilyas Kashmiri as a `global terrorist' having links with al-Qaeda on Friday. Kashmiri had recently been indicted in the US for providing material support to Pakistani-American LeT operative David Coleman Headley.

India had also suspected HuJI's involvement in the Mecca Masjid blasts before stumbling upon evidence linking the terror act to the group aligned with Abhinav Bharat who are suspect in two other attacks on Muslim targets -- the blast at a mosque in Malegaon and at the Ajmer Shrine. It is possible that the UN and US authorities did not check with India for fresh updates on investigation into the crimes, going along with the initial line of Indian investigators.

Their "finding" may trigger a controversy because investigators have uncovered more evidence linking the Mecca Masjid blast which killed 16 people and injured 40 to Hindu extremists.

The US has pointed out that HuJI -- which has been operating in India and Pakistan -- had carried out this terror attack besides several others including the one in Varanasi in March 2007.

Justifying its determination, the US department of state in its statement said: "These actions were taken in consultation with the department of the treasury and the department of justice.... These actions will give US law enforcement additional tools needed to restrict the flow of resources to both HuJI and Mohammad Ilyas Kashmiri."

The same day, the UN too imposed sanctions on both HuJI and its commander Ilyas Kashmiri, subjecting both the entity and the individual to "the assets freeze, travel ban and arms embargo". The world body has also listed a number of terror attacks which were carried out by HuJI. Besides the Mecca Masjid blast, these include the twin explosions in Hyderabad in August 2007 and suicide bombing of the US Consulate in Karachi, Pakistan, in March 2006 among others.

Though India had banned the outfit long ago, the UN's decision may have its implications in Pakistan as all members of the world body would now be required to implement "asset freeze, travel ban and arms embargo" against HuJI and Kashmiri.

Although the American decision gave credence to what Indian investigators had initially suspected on the basis of preliminary findings in the Mecca Masjid blast, it contradicted the recent probe suspecting links of perpetrators of this blast with those of the Malegaon (September 2006), Samjhauta Express (February 2007 in Haryana), and the Ajmer Sharif dargah (October 2007) blasts. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) was recently handed over the probe of the Samjhauta blast case. The investigation will also look into whether all these blasts were actually carried out by Hindu terror outfit Abhinav Bharat or some other Hindu extremists groups.

Though the initial probe had hinted at involvement of Hindu extremist group in the Samjhauta blast, the twist came when the US last year named one Arif Qasmani of Karachi as being involved in the Mumbai suburban train blasts of July 2006 and in the Samjhauta Express blast. The NIA will now have to find out the truth.

Well to hide their inefficiency as having jumped to their guns on just the saying of India that HuJI is a terrorist organization, the US & UN now will say anything to divert attention and save their arses, even though the bombings were done in reality by Hindu extremist terrorists.

The same attitude was shown after it revealed that WMD accusation on Iraq was flase, they came with other ridiculous accusations which did not hold their ground.

So now when its revealed that Hindu terrorists were behind all these bombings which were earlier blamed on Muslims and Muslim organizations labeled terrorists, US & UN will stay stubborn to safe their humiliated faces.

Good going current Indian govt, to have finally realized what the reality was and how innocent people were persecuted and blamed.

Hide their in-efficiency?? I would hardly say that.

And Sir your post just shows how much u know abt the Indian Political system and its Vote Bank politics revolving around the Minorities in general and Muslims in particular.

If u look closely wen these accusations were made u can find that it would have been made close to some elections to woo the minorities (specially Muslims) back into their fold. so much competition is ther for them (Muslim vote bank) and everybody tries to be a champion of their cause..

We even have a Congress senior leader (DigVijay Singh) who makes it his life's mission to vist the families of all terror accused and say on TV they r not terrorists,just misguided youth.

And This was the same govt that made a huge hoopla around Sadhvi Pragya and then wat happened.?

Few months later they were unable to prove anything against her and were forced to release her on bail.

So much for their efficieny.Its all bloody cheap vote bank politics.
