I am not Mahatma by Harshavardhan C (i am reading a book TXT) 📕

we have obtained these reports under R.T.I Act and these are certified by the civil assistant surgeons. Now these have become public documents, then why do you hesitate to go through them sir?”

Still a senior journalist is trying to tickle him.

The DGP had been thinking how best he could avoid him, besides controlling his anger.

“Sir, we expect you to answer, but it seems you are trying to avoid us”

“Sorry Idon’tgo through them, which are not marked to me?”

“Sorry sir, don’t forget that we are in a Democratic Country. And please remember that press and media are the fourth estate”

“What you have said is correct and I too agree with you, but please don’t forget that we too have certain limitations?”

“When there are four dead bodies of males and two of females, the P.M report of the dead body of the lady deputy commander speaks that her virginal contains spermatozoa of five males, and that of the teenaged girl contains spermatozoa of twelve males. Could you please speak on the missing links?”

“Sorry, as the case is still under investigation stage, I reserve my comments”

“Sir, for your kind information, they are preserved for D.N.A. testing. Even then also you don’tlike to answer the missing links sir?”

“Gentleman I have already told you as the case is under investigation stage no officer can surpass and draw inferences. Please try to understand the legal implications, and don’t over involve yourself in the investigation of the case, you may have to stand as a witness to depose evidence from your investigative journalism”

“We are ready to face the challenges, threats, and even fake encounters sir” He got irritated.

“Sorry, gentleman it seems you are hurt, please cool down”

“Thanks for your advice; anywaythere are clear evidences that the girl has been gang raped by twelve persons. She is not shot dead, but she has been done to death brutally, during the course of gang rape by cops and to wash off their sin, your people have shot herinto hervirginal at point blank, when she is already dead. Of course, these missing links and the most barbarousacts havebeen filed before the National Commission for Human Rights, and also in the Honorable High Court of Judicature. Soon you and your Grey Hound’s team will stand before the Honorable High Court of judicature. The entire crime, committed by your staff has been recorded in the camera kept by the poachers, who are trying to ambush the forest animals, but beasts have proved better than the humans, as they didn’t come out for hunt on the night, but you cops who proved to be cruelest of the cruel are photographed. Let us meet in the court of law “The senior journalist hinted him like a warning.

The DGP was feeling discomfort even in his office. He was kept completely in dark by the mischievous staff.

“Okay friends, as the case is under investigation, we cannot predict anything at this stage. Let us wait till the completion of the investigation of the case. And I conclude that the press meet is over” He abruptly closed it.

And he came out of his chambers as if he had some urgent appointment with the Principle Home Secretary.

“I am to lecture on ‘Islamic fundamentalism’. Before, going to the subject proper, let me correct the title of the subject.

When we talk about fanaticism, it can’t be restricted to one particular faith or religion only. What I want to impress upon you is that in broader sense fanaticism means religious bigotry. It need not be found only in one faith. It could be found in all the religions.

Whosoever takes up the cause of his religion, it’s propagation, spreading it in a particular territory or across the globe, with various ways and means, even without any hesitation to break the laws of the land, and if necessary to act against the interests of the state and laws of the land, is termed as a religious bigot and if he is resorting to violence, he will be called a terrorist.

Now, coming to the topic ‘Islamic fundamentalism’ or ‘fanaticism’, if propagation and spreading of the faith or religion is the only concern of the fundamentalists, it is neither harmful nor injurious to the society.

But, if it exceeds the propagation, and the idea of forming a world of their own, and in persuasion of achieving their goal, if they adopt coherent methods, terror tactics or trying to pose threat to the internal security of the country and its severity, and then it will be treated as religious terrorism. Hence there is a marked difference between Islamic Fundamentalism and Islamic terrorism.

Deendar Anjuman, the little-known “heretic” Muslim sect whose leaders allegedly bombed churches in AP, Karnataka and Goa to heighten Hindu-Christian rift. It was founded in the year 1924 at Gadag in Karnataka by one Siddique Hussein.

Siddique Hussein claimed that he got divine revelation, saying that he was the incarnation of Chanbasweshwar, the founder of Lingayat sect. He established a school of World Religion at Bangalore. Later it was shifted to Hyderabad. He argued that all the religions in the world except Islam are incomplete and Mohammed was the last and final prophet for entire humanity. So, salvation to mankind lies only in Islam. For that they must convert into Islam and read Kalma.

After the accession of Hyderabad into Indian Union the Deendar Anjuman continued its activities in a low key. In 1948, Deendar Anjuman was declared unlawful by the Nizam government.

The units of Deendar Anjuman were spread throughout length and breadth of India. In the early 1990’s, Zia–ul–Hassan and some of the Pakistani delegates like Syed Bin Waheed Bin Habeebullah, during their visits, indoctrinated some of the Deendar followers with Jihad ideology and invited them to Pakistan.

The Deendar Anjuman activists obtained visas on the pretext of visiting their relatives, and they used to visit the Deendar Anjuman branch at Mardan, Pakistan. Most of the times, they travelled by Samjoutha Express train from Delhi via Attari to Lahore. They were given training in handling of small arms, automatic weapons, and fabrication of IEDs, assault rifles like AK47 and machine guns, and rocket launchers.

The son of Zia–ul–Hasan, Khalid Pasha visited Hyderabad in the year 1994, issued instructions to Ali Siddiqui, Farooq Ali, Zakir, and Khalid Chowdary. Zia–ul–Hasan and his sons hatched a conspiracy to disturb the communal harmony and secular fabric of Indian society, by desecrate Ambedkar statues, which would create a gulf between the daliths and other Hindus and further weaken Hindu society.

Iqbal, Nazeemuddin, Khaja desecrated Ambedkar statues in Vijayawada and Maqbool and Zilani at Thiruvur in A.P State.Khalid Chowdary and Zakir carried out desecration work at Nanded and Parbhani in state of Maharashtra and were arrested by Parbhani police ed against them. Zia–ul–Hasan and his sons avoided coming to India for 4 years as their name figured in the interrogation of Zakir and Khalid.

In October, 1999, Zia–ul–Hasan visited Nuzvid and held meetings with Khaliquz Zama and lqbal separately in Krishna district in A.P State and told them that the time had come to wage jihad to Islamize Hindustan and that he would come with Mujahedeen force to invade India. He instructed them to prepare a group for spreading hatredness between different communities.

In the same month, when the urs meeting was held, Zia–ul–Hasan was elected as President of Deendar Anjuman for the first time. Later, a secret meeting was conducted by Zia–up–Has an, who appointed Khaliquz Zama as leader of nifaque movement and instructed all the members to follow him.

Zia–ul–Hasan elaborately explained about his plan of action of invading India with 9 lakh Mujahedeen force from Kashmir side. To facilitate his invasion the members to prepare ground so that the Indian government would be kept itself busy in sorting out the internal problems and Mujahedeen would enter India freely. He instructed his followers to disturb and destroy transport and communication facilities between north India and south India to restrict the war to north India.

In February 2000, a meeting was held at Nuzvid. In that meeting, they decided to commit robberies to secure funds for the subversive activities.Jeelani and Maqbool, younger brother of Khaliquz Zama, planned and organized a dacoity near Tirvuru in Krishna District in A.P, and robbed cash of rupees 4 lakhs from a Bank employee. Out of the four lakhs, one lakh rupees was sent to Zia–ul–Hasan, one lakh twenty five thousand was paid to Meera Saheb to procure a Sumo vehicle for them. Rupees fifty thousand was given as advance to purchase 9.77 acres of land at Nuzvid, near to Vijayawada in Krishna District in A.P, to be used as a safe house and training ground for later day activities.

Farooq Ali of Hyderabad went to Pakistan and stayed there for one month. He came back in March and contacted Khaliquz Zama on telephone and invited him to Hyderabad. Khaliquz Zama went to Hyderabad and met Farooq.

Later, a meeting was held by Khaliquz Zama at Nuzvid. The members of Deendar Anjuman of Nuzvid attended the meeting. Gayazuddin supplied explosive materials through Riyazuddin and Qasim for preparation of bombs. They brought gelatin and detonators and kept it in the house of Anwar. IEDs were prepared by Abdul Khadar Jeelani, brother of Khaliquz Zama.

Khaliquz Zama instructed Jeelani and Maqbool, who fabricated the IED and planted the same at Gospel meeting at Machilipatnam on 21.5.2000, in which 21 persons received injuries. He also advised them to blast a bomb in Hindu temple, so that Hindus will suspect that it was the handiwork of Christians in retaliation to Machilipatnam blast.

Khaliquz Zama sent some explosive materials to Hyderabad through Farooq Ali. Later, Zakir also took some more explosive material from Nuzvid to Hyderabad. Javeed Pasha used the material for Hubli, Medak, Vikarabad and Goa blasts.

On 25.5.2OOO, Maqbool and Jeelani exploded a time bomb at Kodandarama temple at Vijayawada. Jahed Pasha supervised planting of explosives at Medak and Vikarabad churches.

In the month of June, 2000, Khaliquz Zama, Fardin and Jahed Pasha went to Bangalore and met Ibrahim to organize the action plan of planting the bombs at various churches.

In the same month, Jahed Pasha held a meeting at Hyderabad and instructed the core members to form groups for the future action plan. They shall all follow the instructions of Khaliquz Zama and execute the work. Their task was planting bombs; distribution of pamphlets to create religious hatredness. One group will commit dacoities and robberies to pool up money to purchase weapons.

On 8.6.2000, Humayun and Khaja Moinuddin planted bomb in Ongole Church. Noor and Nizamuddin planted bomb at Tadepalligudem Church in A.P state.

Sharfuddin, Khalid Chowdary, Izharbaig and Abbas Ali planted two bombs separately in the same church at Wadi in the State of Maharastra. Meera Saheb and Farooq Ali placed bombs in Goa church.

In, July, 2000, Khaliquz Zama went to Hyderabad and met Jahed Pasha and there he discussed about non–reaction from Christians and Hindus even after the occurrence of so many blasts. Then, Jahed Pasha advised Khaliquz Zama to place bombs in mosques.
