Wiki Leaks Latest About "Hindu Terror"

[Gurmat Sangeet]

On the floor of parliament, Indian Home Minister P. Chidambaram officially dismissed comments made by the Minority Affairs Minister A.R. Antulay that

implied Hindutva elements may have been involved in the Mumbai attacks. Antulay sparked a political controversy on December 17 with comments insinuating

that the killing of Maharashtra Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) Chief Hemant Karkare by the Mumbai terrorists was somehow linked to Karkare’s investigation of

bombings in which radical Hindus are suspected (reftel). The outlandish comments suggested that somehow Hindutva elements were in league with the Mumbai

attackers, or used the attacks as cover to kill Karkare. The opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) immediately called for Antulay’s resignation and

protested with boisterous walkouts in parliament over the course of five days. Compounding matters, the Congress Party, after first distancing itself

from the comments, two days later issued a contradictory statement which implicitly endorsed the conspiracy. During this time, Antulay’s completely

unsubstantiated claims gained support in the conspiracy-minded Indian-Muslim community. Hoping to foster that support for upcoming national elections,

the Congress Party cynically pulled back from its original dismissal and lent credence to the conspiracy. Regardless of Chidambaram’s dismissal

(and Antulay’s party-ordered retraction), the Indian Muslim community will continue to believe they are unfairly targeted by law enforcement and that

those who investigate the truth are silenced. The entire episode demonstrates that the Congress Party will readily stoop to the old caste/religious-based

politics if it feels it is in its interest. End Summary.

His statement must be probed: Kavita Karkare

Kavita Karkare, wife of slain Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) chief Hemant Karkare, said Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh's controversial statement on Karkare should be probed.

She was speaking to journalists after attending the preview of the movie 332 Mumbai to India here on Sunday.

Asked about Mr. Singh's statement, Ms. Karkare said: “Yes, it has to be inquired into, because many people say Hindutva forces were behind it [Karkare's death]. Books have been written about it too. These things could have a dangerous impact on the 26/11 investigations.”

She denied that Mr. Singh and Hemant Karkare shared a personal relationship.

To reports of email threats to Karkare, Ms. Karkare said: “He may have received email threats. ATS chiefs do a range of investigations, but he never shared official matters with me.”

Asked if the issue had been politicised, she said: “I do not want to criticise any party, but I disagree with the view that Hindutva groups were involved. As the wife of a martyr, I don't want the issue to be politicised.”

Ms. Karkare said that with her personal responsibilities, she did not have the strength to endure political controversies. “I do not want to touch politics. I have had many offers, but I do not want to enter the field.”

Smita Salaskar, wife of slain encounter specialist Vijay Salaskar, and Vaishali Ombale, daughter of Tukaram Ombale who lost his life while intercepting terrorist Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab, were also present at the movie preview.

I wouldn't put anything past the Indian government. They're a despicable lot heading for an almighty fall. Their crimes shall be their destruction.

Its also possible that Hemant Karkare phoned Digvijaya from some other number, that is why call records are not showing he talked to him.

I believe that Hemant karkare talked to Digvijaya.

Sir Hemant karkare knows the system. He knows phones are tapped, He might have confided his views to trustworthy people securely.

I believe he did receive threats from hindu extremists but he was killed by kasab and co.
