Well, the prison sentence is nothing compared to the potential electric chair that he was looking at, right? But that still was not my point, my point is simple, was he able to produce any evidence, even circumstantial, other then his testimony under duress? This person may have been involved in all likelihood, but was any Pakistani agency involved.....that is the question here, right?
Unlike what you might think, people don't face a potential death sentence without a shred of evidence. There are hundreds of hours of wire tap evidence available with the U.S. authorities. That was what helped convict his accomplice Rana. Why, according to you, would U.s. authorities conspire with some Indians to target Pakistan? A bit of a stretch even for your thinking, isn't it?
As for Abu Jundal being in Karachi at the time of the Mumbai terrorism attacks.....well, first of all try to get some evidence of this guy's involvement and then try and prove where he was at the time. Once that is done, only then should you begin to determine who else was with him.
There was enough evidence to persuade the Americans & the government of KSA . Pakistan was so desperate that it claimed that he was Pakistani.Why the desperation if the Pakistani state was not involved ?
And still, nothing proves involvement of any Pakistani agency, officially.
The above action did as did Abu Jundal's confession.
Yeah, precisely that one........notice the part in bold:
"Former Home Ministry official R V S Mani has denied that he ever said the "Parliament attack and the Mumbai attack were orchestrated by the government in power".
So, was it orchestrated by the opposition? Government that was not in power, such as state agencies or ......
That is bordering on the ridiculous. An allegation was made that he had said something about the government & he said that he didn't. He certainly was not referring to the opposition or other agencies...
So you say, but that is not what the newspapers printed. A Senior government official states on an official affidavit that another agencies official had confessed involvement of Indian Government in the terrorism and you want to brush it under the carpet?
Maybe you should go back & read again. He was the man responsible for submitting the affidavits on behalf of the Home Ministry in the
Ishrat Jahan case. It was alleged that
he had written a letter to the HM complaining about intimidation by an officer of the SIT & who supposedly said this about the 26/11 & the parliament attacks. The police officer mentioned has not commented & the Home Ministry official has clarified his position. Nothing is being brushed under the carpet, we cannot help if you read wrongly & draw even more crazy conclusions.
Suddenly Rehman Malik is all so acceptable??? For 5 years you guys make fun of him but want to believe him when it suits you? Hmm...anyway, Kasab was Pakistani, Jundal was Indian and Headley was American, then why do you blame the GoP for involvement when nationals of different nations were/are involved. Furthermore, Kasab was most likely kidnapped from Nepal quite a while back by RAW. Others could have been brought in the same manner or with money.
Nobody blames the GoP, the most that has been done is to blame elements in the state apparatus. It is not about Rehman Malik, the NSA of Pakistan confirmed Kasab's identity and the FIA has produced evidence in court on the LeT's involvement.
As for Kasab being kidnapped, the main argument from the conspiracy theorists is that Kasab was not Pakistani & was not speaking the way Pakistanis do. How does that square off with the story that he was abducted from Nepal? He should still speak like a Pakistani, shouldn't he?
Why would the Americans join in & why would your FIA support Indian claims? Everyone involved eh? Except you?
Btw, did you watch the video produced by channel 4 that I posted?
Not surprised at the foolishness of your post either, apparently, seniority is not earned in India.
Your ignorance is astounding, are you suggesting that senior officers never make mistakes? No Generals would have ever lost a war then, right?
By all accounts, the Late Mr. Karkare was a competent officer & a good man. He simply, like any other senior police officer, anywhere in India
(with the probable exception Of Delhi) was simply unprepared & under trained for a scenario like the one that happened. Probably won't happen again but I remember a time when the
GoC in C, Northern command was almost killed by a wounded militant when he went to see for himself. A Brigadier was killed in that attack. To argue that senior officers don't make mistakes is foolish. Something that many Pakistanis should be able to certify easily.
Besides, the affidavit is not any proof. The confession of an Indian Government official, to another, is basis from which proof can be dug if the will is there. If the will is to blame Pakistan for everything, then so be it.
There is no confession. All there is simply qualifies as hearsay. Pointless when the officer who supposedly made that remark
is just a mid level police officer nowhere in the picture of anything & posted in the state of Gujarat & far away from any of the incidents. Pakistan is blamed because that is where the attacks originate from &
is the position of both the GoP as well as the FIA, as on date.
