First it was the arrests in Pune
Blast and now it is the firing taken place yesterday near the
historic Jama Masjid and an e-mail reportedly sent by 'Indian
Mujahideen'. These incidents are again used as a tool by a section
to malign the Indian Muslims and create the hype in the manner
infamously and regularly used till Hemant Karkare unearthed the
hidden face of the terrorism that was described recently by Union
Home Minister P Chidambaram as the danger of Saffron Terror.
What credibility does an e-mail has
when it is a known fact that an e-mail ID can be created by anyone
and by using whatever name - Muslim or non-Muslim, one intends to.
Why can't those responsible of Saffron Terror cannot use such name
to divert the attention and mislead the investigation, specially
when the investigations in had in the past a record of using
Muslim outfits, Muslim caps and
By jumping to the conclusion, we are
only making it tough for the investigating agencies and
threatening their credibility once again as we did in the past. We
should not forget that the stand we had taken after the Malegaon
blast, Hyderabad blast, Ajmer blast and Samjhouta Express blast
ultimately proved mere fabrications after the investigations.
There is little doubt about the
threat by the terror groups like Lashkare-Toiba and other such
groups, for which the investigating agencies have enough evidence
by now. However, one should not neglect the local threat that the
country faces and pointed by none other than the Union Home
Minister.
Moreover, the speculations in the
media clearly lack credibility as a wast majority of civil society
still is unsure of the creidibilty of the Batla House encounter
and the claim that those killed in the encounter were indeed
'terrorists' belonging to 'Indian Mujahideen' or any other terror
outfit. When such is the case, where is the question of taking
revenge by the outfit - that also many in the country are not sure
if they really exist or not.
Haven't we seen in the past when
e-mails were sent by Muslim names but they ultimately proven to be
sent by someone else?

Due to the threats of riot and
terror attacks, the festive season in India
nowadays results in sleepless nights for the security
personnel.
Against this backdrop, the show of communal harmony in Malegaon by Ajantha Mandal cannot be more timely. The Mandal
in a large hoarding portrays the real picture of the Muslim
dominated textile town in North Maharashtra. It shows,
Malegaon is where Azan in a Masjid and Shunkh
in a Mandir go simultaneously. To further make its point,
the Mandal plays communal harmony songs on a cassette-player
in its full sound.
