Close down Mossad, FBI offices in India: Mushawarat

The All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat (AIMMM) president Dr Zafarul-Islam Khan has expressed deep pain and concern over the bomb blasts in Bangalore and Ahmedabad.

In a statement released on July 28, while offering his sincere condolences to the family members of the innocent victims, Dr Khan said that no effort should be spared to nab the real culprits behind these dastardly crimes against the country and the people of India.

Dr Khan cautioned the police, security and intelligence agencies not to hurry to make statements or leak information until proper investigations are completed. He called upon these agencies and the central and state home ministries to probe all possible suspects and all possible beneficiaries from such crimes.

“A certain political party which has usurped the common plank of fighting terrorism is a sure beneficiary of such incidents in view of the forthcoming elections,” Dr Khan said and noted that these terrorist incidents are taking place in states ruled by this particular party and the chief minister of another state ruled by this party has already predicted that the next target of these crimes will be his state.

Dr Khan specifically said that Hindutva criminal and terrorist gangs, responsible for similar crimes in the recent past in places like Nanded, Parbhani, Tenkasi and Thane, should be included within the purview of the current and future probes into all terrorist acts in the country.

Dr Khan observed that such criminal gangs have received support from the Shiv Sena supremo and his newspaper Samna but the Maharashtra state authorities have failed to take any action to date against him or his newspaper for openly supporting and encouraging terrorism.

Dr Khan asked the central government to form a high powered neutral panel of retired judges, human rights activists, top lawyers and journalists to oversee the investigations into all terrorist acts. Such a neutral panel is needed to restore the Muslim community’s faith in the investigations by security and intelligence agencies which, due to their consistently one-sided probes after each such criminal act, have totally forfeited the confidence of the Muslim community.

Dr Khan also asked the central government to keep a sharp eye on the dubious activities of foreign intelligence agencies like Mossad and FBI which are operating freely in our country. He asked the central government to immediately close down the offices of all such foreign intelligence agencies as their presence on our soil is not in the interest of the peace and security of the country.
