India Trying to Create Trouble in Sri Lanka – Again
Mr. Gotabaya Rajapakse is certainly right when he said that Sri Lanka remains free of terrorists.
Nowadays “terrorism business” has become a rapidly growing and lucrative industry. Funny stories of terror plots, wire-tappings, perceived threats, terror-breeding grounds, Madrasas and terror networks, nuclear and other lethal technologies going into the hands of non-state actors, terrorists contact points so on and so forth are hatched and fed to mischief-mongering media institutions.
Terrorism finders, discoverers and terrorism experts, and some of them going to the niche of ‘expert’ on Islamic terrorism, Al Qaida, Taliban, Lashkar E Taiba etc.have emerged and are directing the way that the policy makers and the common folk should think. First and business class air travels, posh suites in star hotels, conferences, meetings and policy discussions with lavish arrangements are the norm of the day for these coterie of experts.
They would descend on these forums like angles with their ‘startling revelations of Islamic terror plots and threats to individuals, states, corporations and cultures.’They must preach and every body else must believe!
The articles of the Indian Tamil journalist K S Balachandran, require serious attention. In my view the reports lack substance; I am afraid, as far as the issue of Lashkar E Taiba is concerned, it is based on fictitious information fed by the Indian intelligence agencies and other interested elements, perhaps within the Muslim community.
Its common among the amateurish journalists to act like angels and expose the truth revealed to them by ‘inside sources.’ In the name of national security and Islamic threat so many bizarre things happen in India and the driving force behind them, in fact, is Hindutva fascist project, not national security.
Pathetically, hundreds of innocent Muslim youth are dumped in the dungeons of the largest democracy of the world on flimsy charges.
One would find himself thunderstruck reading the book,’Who Killed Karkare?’ the real face of Terrorism in India,” by M. S.Mushrif, former IGP, Maharashtra. Maharashtra’s Anti-Terror Squad chief Hemant Karkare was killed during the 26/11 Mumbai attack in a highly suspicious manner. Iquote below a little review piece of the book:
‘Political violence, or terrorism, by State as well as by non- State actors has a long history in India.
The allegation that sections of and individual Indian Muslims indulged in ‘terrorism’surfaced for the first time with the ascent of the Hindutva forces in mid-1990s and became state policy with the BJP’s coming to power at the Centre. With even ‘secular’ media joining the role as stenographers of security agencies, this became an accepted fact so much so that common Indians and even many Muslims started believing in this false propaganda.’
This book, by a former senior police officer, with a distinguished career that included unearthing the Telgi scam, peeps behind the propaganda screen, using material mostly in the public domain as well as his long police experience. It comes out with some startling facts and analysis, the first of its kind, to expose the real actors behind the so-called ‘Islamic terrorism’in India whose greatest feat was to murder the Maharashtra ATS chief Hemant Karkare who dared to expose these forces and paid with his life for his courage and commitment to truth.
While unearthing the conspiracy behind the murder of Karkare, this book takes a hard look at some of the major incidents attributed to ‘Islamic terrorism’ in India and finds them baseless.
Sri Lanka is a sovereign country, so its defence policies cannot be shaped by raw information supplied by foreign agencies. The country is breathing a sigh of relief after a wretched three decades old war. Its time for the citizens of this country to say to India, “Sorry, we are now recuperating from the war waged by the boys you groomed; no more to artificial creation of Islamic terrorism.”
In the said articles a malicious attempt is made to drag the Sri Lankan Muslim community into entirely unnecessary trouble. Such irresponsible salvos, for sure, would drive ordinary youth to extremism. We, Sri Lankan Muslims should be very careful not to fall into these traps.
The Sri Lankan Muslim community possesses fairly sufficient religious maturity and also it’s fairly organized in comparison with many Muslim minorities around the world. It’s fairly cultured too. So it should remain independent of any country’s political tug of war.
Further, the community is capable of settling its religious issues without seeking assistance from outside sources.
Islam is broad and shows flexibility for several interpretations of its sources. If any one tries to argue that everybody else should follow only his interpretation, it is simply unacceptable. There is a serious brawl going on between those who identify themselves as Ahl Assunnah and those of Salafis. We can see sections of these camps transgress all bounds of decency and adopt extreme approaches in confronting the other.
A Sri Lankan-Hong Kong friend of mine who resides in Malaysia told me that when one of his relative died in Sri Lanka recently, copy of a letter carrying Sheikh Nazim’s signature was placed with the coffin, so as to intercede when questioning by the angels in the Qabr. Can human reason comprehend this? Did our beloved Prophet or his companions practice this? This is one kind of deviance and extremism.
Islam belongs to every Muslim. Every group has the right to preach its interpretation of Islam within the bounds of Shariah, but no group has the right to claim exclusive ownership of Allah’s Deen.
Let’s return to our senses and look into Islam with an open mind, so we can Insha Allah unearth its great treasures.
