Shyamd has been pointing out that we are masters of SIGINT but are lagging in HUMINT. Hope we are catching up on that front too. But, scary part is Chidu says our SIGINT is light years behind the west which means the amount of info(esp Desi) western agencies will have access to is mind-boggling

Slowly, the RSS hand starts showing itself in all the bombings of the past( as expected with a secular govt in power). Notice the subtle justification given in the last line for the Gokul chaat bombing:

CBI finds similar patterns in Ajmer, Hyderabad blast cases

The Central Bureau of Investigation is hoping that the arrest of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh worker Devender Gupta, who was arrested in connection with the blast in Ajmer Dargah, might give key answers to the Mecca Masjid blast in Hyderabad that occurred the same year.

The CBI, which is probing Hyderabad blast of May 18, 2007, had reportedly given up hope of cracking the case.

But after the arrest of Gupta by the Rajasthan [ Images ] Anti-Terrorism Squad, the CBI is looking at the case afresh as it allegedly suspects that Hindu militant organisations might be linked with the Hyderabad blast.

A CBI team had earlier gone to Nasik to question the accused in Malegaon blast case including Sadhvi Pragya Thakur [ Images ] and Col Purohit on their links with Mecca Masjid incident.
Interestingly, sources said that the three men arrested in connection with the Hyderabad twin blasts case of August 2007 -- Akbar Ismail Choudhary, Aneeq Shafique and Ansar Ahmad Shaikh -- too had claimed that their motive behind the blast was to avenge the Masjid blast by militant Hindu organisations.

The govt wont do it, these goi folks are smart people, they have their own calcs. And even if they do, there wont be any public outrage, thats for sure. They will keep doing this till the UP and Bihar elections are over.

One can even see the trend,

2008 State elections before 26/11, they started this hindu terrorism phrase

2009 After LS and right before Maha state election they were gung-ho about sanatan sansha.

Now they have started well in advance before Bihar and UP. All for one reason, so that muslims dont feel targetted and that congress alone can be even handed and in the end they flock towards congress.

can we have a separate thread to track all this? if we see even blast in Goa was termed as a hindu terror but later no news about it. in parliament Chidu had also used the same words. i think it is high time that we have to track it to see how things change as the election dates get close.

As a Hindu, I am ashamed to see how Hindu terrorism has suddenly risen in the past few months. We shall stop that from further advancing, I can care less of a public outcry if RSS or Bajrang Dal is banned. If they are behind any of the bombings in any slightest way which killed Indians, they should certainly be banned.

Has anyone noticed that the Karnataka Home Minister VS Acharya has blamed the betting mafia for the Bangalore blasts outside the IPL venue?
Yet, the nature of the bombs matched the 2008 Bangalore blasts which were done by SIMI/IM. Now the Karnataka HM simply made this wild accusation (who has heard of betting mafia planting bombs?) as an outlet of frustration on the semi-finals moved out of Bangalore, thus exonerating the Islamic terrorists behind the blasts (who must be laughing their asses off).
So much for the BJP govt in Karnataka which has an HM prone to tantrums. What have we done to deserve such specimens?

On the other hand it shows the close links between anti-national elements (read the cricket mafia) and pan-islamic fundamentalism.

By observing how the recent IPL-fiasco evolved, even an average-intelligent person can clearly see the level of understanding the anti-national elements have with the highest levels of governance in India. A central minister felt it is ok to get competitive bidding info and pass it to one of his girl-friends. Then two senior most cabinet ministers (with the blessings of MMS and SG) felt it is okay to make a deal with Pawar to protect BCCI by bullying IPL franchises to punish Lalit Modi.

I am not supporting any faction here. I am just pointing out the "acceptance of corruption at the highest levels of GOI, including MMS" to continue in power. MMS is aware of the true picture and felt the necessity to look the other way to protect his PM-ship. And he claims a clean image. He couldn't threaten to resign, as he did in nuke-deal saga, to set some governance standards.

It reminds me a story about MMS during PVNR administration. In his early days he felt hurt by opposition's questioning on his farm-subsidy-reduction plans and decided to resign. PVNR, allegedly, told him that it is necessary for him to stay as FM as the nation needs his leadership in the economic liberalization path and he cannot forgo that larger responsibility to satisfy his "morals" on small stuff. Looks like MMS extrapolated that logic to his PMship and Indian Interests. For him his "vision for india" is far greater than "Indian national interests".

Also it shows that foreign govts have links to these organization. IPL is the first proof of how these gangs have total control over the outcome of their gamblings. Security is also compromised with actual tacit understanding with elements within the govt.

Self-quoting... It reminds me how JLN viewed himself, his vision greater than India itself. Last time I checked, it resulted in loss of POK, Aksai-chin, 1962 debacle, UNSC seat to PRC, and entrenchment of foreign influence into Indian policy making. It took us >40 years to break those shackles.

MMS = JLN II. (Imagine the impact of SAU = South Asia University in the lines of JNU). We are phuked :evil:

CNN-IBN showing a ticker that CBI feels 5 blasts could be linked( to RSS obviosuly) : Ajmer, Hyd, Goa, Malegaon, Samjautha.

IIRC,this is again a foolish move by INC and will spectaculary backfire. The last time, they leaked the Samjautha/RSS did it story through Maha ATS just before Maharashtra polls ( and 26/11) and the Pakis latched onto it countering our every move by talking about Col.Purohit.

Same will happen again. If CBI feels that RSS was involved in Samjautha blasts, why did phuck did the Amercians name some Abu-Al-Qama as lead suspect absconding in Pak ( and the evidence was reportedly given by Intel agencies)?

What the ?? Dont tell me that they are linking Samjhauta express to Purohit all over again.
What then about this admission by Rehman Malik that pakistani terrorists were involved in Samjhauta blasts? (He threw in a face saving rider that Col Purohit hired them)
India not providing details on Samjhota: Malik
...This clearly demonstrates that there were some Pakistan-based Islamists who had been hired to carry out the Samjohta Express attack. That is the dossier we have requested India to provide us with, but they haven't," said Malik.

Could you please share the updated list?
In Assam, it is a contest between Ahoms, Dimasas, Karbis and Bodos, and various other spillover groups (such as Hmars, Nagas, etc.). As per Govt of Assam, the active groups are ULFA (Ahoms), KLNLF (Karbis), Black Widow (Dimasas), AANLA ("Adivasis"), KRA (Karbis), HuM (Muslims), MULTA (Muslims) and HPC-D (Hmars). The Bodos are not mentioned as the Govt of Assam was talking to the pro-talks faction of NDFB and Ranjan Daimary was seen more as a pest, despite hit and run attacks from the anti-talks faction. Given Ranjan Daimary's arrest, PC Haldar & co will have an unenviable task of using carrots and sticks and making the Bodos settle for something on top of BTAD, hardly a given these days as these milk-making machines have been sucked dry.

ULFA pigs: Poresh Boruah, Bening Rabha, Akash Thapa, Robin Neog, Anup Chetia (in arrest in BD), Bijoy Chinese, Drishti Rajkhowa, Dipak das, Navajyoti Hazarika, Hira Sarania, Konkon Gohain, Myanmar camp commander Bijoy Das, Montu Saikia, Arpan Saikia, Antu Chaudang, Apurba Barua, Bhaskar Jyoti Bhuyan, Anjan Borthakur, Biju Deka, Pradyut Gohain, Dip Jyoti Mahanta. According to information available with the police, these cadres function under the direct supervision and command of Boruah and self-styled major Jibon Moran.

DHD pigs: Niranjan Hojai
My earlier post on NDFB:
Understanding NDFB

a) Status: One of the two top terrorist groups of Assam with the other being ULFA, extremely active, internecine warfare with sister of Ranjan Daimary killed just recently, turf warfare with other Bodo groups, abduction and extortion of laborers, industrialists, and aam aadmi Assamese and Bodos, hit-and-run with Assam Rifles, killing and getting killed, actively recruiting cadre cos AR has stepped up neutralization campaign in Sonitpur and Udalgiri. With DHD, NDFB is a major detriment towards the fruition of the 4-lane (now reduced to a 2-lane) East-West Corridor project, the 4MW Hayen hydel project in Chirang district, Indian Railways projects, etc. On Dec 31, 2010, the Union Government decides to extend the Suspension of Operations agreement with the pro-talk faction of the NDFB and DHD for a further period of six months up to June 30, 2010.
b) Anti-talks faction: Ranjan Daimary aka D.R. Nabla aka Ransaigra Nabla Daimari (in BD) is the 'president', Dinthi Gwra Narzary is 'general secretary', 'captain' Sangbijit is 'commander-of-staff' and Barbai Basumatary is 'assistant publicity secretary'. B Irakdao (missing since Bhutan ops)
Security sources said that the anti-talks faction of the NDFB headed by Ranjan Daimary have strong bases in Bangladesh. The outfit has at least 100 cadres in their bases in Bangladesh. Though the exact number of camps of the outfit in Bangladesh is yet to be ascertained, it is believed that the outfit is running at least 10 bases and some of the bases are in the Khagrachari area from where the five militants were reportedly arrested.

Quoting sources in the intelligence agencies, Shillong Times has reported that the ULFA and NDFB have already set up temporary hideouts in Bhutan, contrary to the claims made by Bhutan that Indian militants do not put their bases anymore in that country. This report from an Indian intelligence agency came in the backdrop of the claim at the Seventh Border Coordination Development Meeting held at Thimphu (Bhutan), which dismissed reports about the ULFA and NDFB militants setting up permanent camps on its soil. According to official sources in Guwahati, the ULFA and NDFB militants were reorganising and attempting to sneak into Bhutan. New Delhi has reportedly informed Thimphu of the intrusion of about 30 militants into its soil. "We have information that they (ULFA and NDFB) have set up temporary hideouts there in the wake of stepped up counter-insurgency operations, especially in Lower Assam," an officer from the Military Intelligence said. {it is well known that the Bhutanese diplomatic bag facility is being abused by the terrorist groups}
c) Pro-talks faction/arrested/released: B Swmkhwr aka Govinda Basumatary, S. Sanjarang, B. Benga, Nileswar Basumatary aka B. J. Jabda, Bijoy Boro, B. Udang aka Udang K. R. Brahma, Dhiren Boro aka B. Sungthagra
d) Primary interlocutors: P. C. Haldar (former director of IB), Home Secretary G. K. Pillai, Naveen Verma (Joint Secretary (Northeast) of the MHA)
e) Current hotbed: Sonitpur, Udalgiri, Chirang districts, has good hit capacity in Bongaigaon, Kokrajhar, Darrang, Barpeta, Dhubri, Nalbari, finds succor in the Christian belt of Garo hills
f) Whine profile: Predominantly Christian, wants a separate Bodoland, replace Devanagari script for Bodo language with Roman script. Pro-talks faction seeks a separate state for Bodos. There is already an autonomous territorial council within Assam for Bodoland region.
Recall that Ranjan Daimary's sister was killed not so long back in internecine feuding, the stage is set for one more round of blood-letting inside the jail perhaps, now.

If you asked me where to focus 100% of energy on, that would be not in Assam, but in Manipur. Nagaland is slowly healing with the NSCN coming at a glacial pace onboard the peace process. Tripura has somewhat subverted nationalism by going the communist way and is anyway trying to use BD to get better in terms of economics. Mizoram and Meghalaya often see a resurgence of Baptist outfits trying to steer the society in the course of propriety, so this is all a par for the course there. Manipur is an entirely different case with over 15+ Meitei and non-Meitei groups extorting and doing daylight robbery. In particular, the groups to exterminate first are United National Liberation Front (UNLF) and Revolutionary People’s Front (RPF). The rest of terrorist cabal include the Kuki National Army, the Peoples Liberation Army, the People’s United Liberation Front (PULF), the Kangleipak Communist Party, the Kanglei Yawol Kanna Lup, the People’s Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak (Prepak), etc. UNLF chief R.K. Magen and Sana Yaima are both in Burma (from best guess either the Kachin and Shan autonomous states often using the safegrounds there and trucking back and forth from Yunnan where they get their chini ammo), as is Poresh Boruah. Time is right to fck around with Burma in tit for tat for the Kachin/Shan nonsense. But the problem is the Burmese army themselves have no control over these states. So may be a deal is for IA to get on the ground there and do Op. All Clear with support from the Burmese military. Works best for both sides barring the problem of figuring of how to exactly go about this.

I think this is exactly the GoI of India wants. My gut feeling is that all these recent news of "Hindu terrorism" is to set up an "equal-equal" game. Islamic terrorism is on its rise in India. Due to media coverage, higher reporting levels more and more people are realising the bad effects of Islamic terrorism. Sooner or later people would get fed up and move to be come right-wingers. Political parties who are on the right-wing, would see its ranks swelling. The other parties certainly would not like this to happen. Also even thinking from the GoI side (irrespective of the party who is running it), it would require some "equal equal" game to happen so that the entire nation does not go the "extreme right wing" way. Other wise this may lead to a vicious cycle of "Islamic terrorism--> more people going the right wing way-->Muslims (innocent or other wise) would getting marginalised-->more upset Muslims-->More Islamic terrorism-->more people becoming right wingers".

If the leadership has not taken care of the terrorism and played politics with terrorism this is what it is going to end up with.

This is the same time tested line used by DIEs and WKKs to put Hindus on the defensive. Shobha De (1992 Bombay riots) and other WKKs regularly use this subterfuge to blame Hindus and take away their fledging defiance....funny how these feelings of Hinduness come to the fore right after these calumunious accusations(no basis whatsoever)... :roll:

I too think this is happening. For example, when I posted posts discussing Paki terrorism etc on a forum (was discussed here), there were many who opposed me, called me 'extremist', 'anti-secular' etc (some even saying that it was all because of 'zionist movement' LOL) while very few came to my support. Now when I again posted something related yesterday, a huge support followed, with not a sight of pseudo-secularists :)

Well, I would suppose they inherited all the loot from Freemason Motilal Nehru, Jawaharlal of Jeep scam fame, Indira of innumerable scams fame, Rajiv of Bofors fame etc, in addition to what they have "earned" for themselves. Would all that, with compound interest, add to just $2.5 billion?

Allegations of Trinamool MP importing arms from Bangladesh: http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_cp ... ge_1378482

Trinamool has also been linked with Maoists: http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_si ... us_1370183

Also, Trinamool was accused by Ratan Tata of being in league with Tata's "business competitors": http://www.financialexpress.com/news/Ta ... ur/182562/

Overall, Trinamool and Mamta Banerjee are shady characters, and should be considered a security risk.

Hyderabad plot casts light on renewed Lashkar threat
Praveen Swami
Enigmatic terror commander Rehan's networks had links across the Indian Ocean rim

Early last year, Research and Analysis Wing agents escorted a quiet, bespectacled Kerala resident off a flight from Muscat to Bengaluru: the Indian face of a Lashkar-e-Taiba network stretching across the Indian Ocean rim, from Oman and Dubai to Karachi and across southern India into Dhaka.

This weekend's arrest of Hyderabad jihadist Mohammad Zia-ul-Haq, who is alleged by police to have been preparing to attack top multinational Deloitte's offices, has focussed attention on the renewed offensive intent of the Lashkar's Indian Ocean network. Police believe that Zia-ul-Haq's cell, was run by an enigmatic Lashkar operative known to his associates by Mohammad Rehan, Shamim, and Wali Sahib — a man India's intelligence services believe has been responsible for a string of attacks across southern India.

Finding Rehan could help unravel the Lashkar's southern Indian networks, and cast new light on a string of terrorist attacks including the November 2008 carnage in New Delhi — but the fugitive terror commander remains out of reach of Indian law.

Much of what Indian investigators know of Pakistan-origin Rehan's role in running jihadist networks in southern India comes from Sarfaraz Nawazthe Ernakulam man who was deported by Oman authorities in 2009 and brought home under RAW escort. A former Students Islamic Movement of India activist, Nawaz is being tried on charges of helping finance and execute the July 2008 bombings in Bangalore.

In the summer of 2007, police say, Nawaz was introduced to Rehan by a common friend based in Muscat. The two men spoke at length about the oppression of Muslims in India. Nawaz, by his account to investigators, said his personal circumstances did not permit him to train with the Lashkar — but agreed to help find recruits from Kerala.

Nawaz turned to Tadiyantavide Nasir, a Kerala-based jihadist who was in the process of setting up a jihadist group run out of a ginger plantation in Madikere, near Kodagu in Karnataka. Nasir's cell, made up of an unlikely mix of Kerala Islamists and men linked to a Sufi order in Hyderabad, is alleged to have been set up by Lashkar funds routed through Nawaz. In March 2008, Nawaz travelled to Kerala, and met with Nasir to discuss plans to bomb Bengaluru.

Rehan, investigators say, was briefed on the plans at a meeting in Muscat in late March, 2008. The $2,500 paid for the bombings is alleged to have been routed by the Lashkar to Nawaz, and on to Nasir, through a chain of hawala operators. In the event, the bombs malfunctioned. Rehan now insisted that the cell make available volunteers for expert training at Lashkar camps in Pakistan.

Later that year, five men were joined to despatch a Lashkar unit operating in the mountains around Kupwara, in Jammu and Kashmir. Four were killed in a shootout with the Army; a fifth, Abdul Jabbar, was arrested.

Fearful of the fallout, Rehan arranged for Nasir to escape into Bangladesh. Early in November 2008, Nawaz was instructed to meet with the Lashkar's key covert operative in Bangladesh, Mubashir Shahid. Pakistan-origin Shahid, who has since been held by Bangladesh authorities, made over funds for Nasir's journey, as well as compensation intended to have been routed to the families of the four men killed in Kupwara. He also provided numbers for contacts in Kolkata who could help Nasir cross the border.

Nasir himself was eventually held by Bangladesh authorities near Chittagong in November 2009 and handed over to India.
Mumbai links

Late in 2008, Oman authorities cracked down on the Lashkar's operations in Muscat, after intelligence emerged that local residents linked to the jihadist groups were planning strikes in the city. Key among them was Abdul Aziz al-Hooti, the son of an Omani father and Indian mother. Al-Hooti is said to have recruited Fahim Arshad Ansari — an alleged Lashkar covert operative facing multiple terrorism charges, who was acquitted on Monday by a Mumbai court, of crimes related to the November 2008 attacks in Mumbai.

Oman investigators were, however, unable to locate Rehan himself. Government sources said the United Arab Emirates had been less than cooperative in the hunt for the Dubai-based Lashkar operative, for reasons that are still unclear.

Interestingly, al-Hooti was in Mumbai between November 9, 2008 and November 17, 2008 — returning home to Oman just days before the attacks. Oman investigators have told India he called Nawaz twice from the city during this time.

Many in India's intelligence services suspect that al-Hooti, who frequently travelled to India, may have knowledge of the surveillance operations that preceded the November 26 attacks on Mumbai. In testimony to the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation, Pakistani-American jihadist David Headley said he was shown a mock-up of the Taj Mahal Hotel when he was first ordered to conduct reconnaissance in the building, and asked to prepare videotape of particular areas. That suggests earlier reconnaissance was conducted — but by whom is still not known.

Finding Rehan — and dismantling the Lashkar's offensive apparatus — has become all the more imperative in the wake of Zia-ul-Haq's arrest.
I don't know why India has not requested access to Al Hooti. I am sure he would be given access.

New bomb plot in Hyderabad.

Plot to bomb MNC in Hyd foiled


NIA operation points to role of LeT

Police have disrupted a Lashkar-e-Taiba plot to bomb the Hyderabad offices of multinational Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu — one of the four largest auditors in the world.

Hyderabad resident Mohammad Zia-ul-Haq, held over the weekend in the course of a National Investigation Agency-led operation, was planning to attack Deloitte's Hi-Tech City offices using grenades supplied by the Lashkar, police sources said.

Police believe Zia-ul-Haq, who worked as driver with a taxi firm contracted to Deloitte, carried out extensive reconnaissance at the facility.

Investigators say Zia-ul-Haq planned the attacks with top Lashkar commander Mohammad Rehan, who is believed to have responsibility for the jihadist group's south Indian networks. The Lashkar likely hoped that the attack would undermine international business confidence in India.

The investigators say Zia-ul-Haq first made contact with Islamist activists linked to the Lashkar way back in 1996, while working in Saudi Arabia. In the wake of the anti-Muslim violence that rocked Gujarat in 2002, he volunteered to train at its facilities in Pakistan. Police alleged that Zia-ul-Haq trained at a Lashkar facility at Muzaffarabad, in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

Police allege that Zia-ul-Haq earlier carried out a May 2006 bombing, targeting the Odeon Cinema in Hyderabad, using hand-grenades supplied to him through a Lashkar unit operating in Jammu and Kashmir. Grenades recovered from Zia-ul-Haq's home, police sources said, bore markings matching those of an unexploded device found outside the popular movie theatre.

Maybe we have - just that DDM is not made aware of it yet!

Continuing with the reports on the Hyderabad incident,
LeT Operative held: Police Commissioner
An Intermediate dropout from Khanapur village of Adilabad district, Haq came to city for a living in the 90s.

Later, he flew to Saudi Arabia to find a job. While visiting local mosques there, he came in contact with LeT commander Abdul Aziz.

Showing the video footage of Godhra carnage and Babri Masjid demolition, Aziz persuaded Haq to join LeT. Haq was taken to Karachi in Pakistan and then Muzaffarabad where he underwent militant training and infiltrated back into India through Poonch sector of Jammu and Kashmir.


Instructed to work as sleeper cell, Haq started working as taxi driver and did reconnaissance of Hi-tec city, I-max theatre and film theatres in Chikkadpally while regularly contacting his handlers. He was called to Delhi and delivered a pistol with six rounds and four hand grenades in December, 2005.

Pressurised by the LeT commanders to execute an attack, he went inside Odeon deluxe theatre at RTC crossroads on the night of May 7, 2006 and lobbed a grenade while the film exhibition was on. He wanted to use another grenade, but dropped it in a dustbin and fled on seeing the commotion.

Remember Arif Qasmani of Samjhauta attack infamy? Looks like the late Khalid Khwaja was in touch with him, and that Arif Qasmani has had meetings with top US officials.
What was the last mission of Khalid Khwaja?

He surfaced again in 2005 when he gave an interview to a foreign newspaper and claimed that he was instrumental in arranging funds for a training camp established by a politician from Rawalpindi for Kashmiri militants. The same year he arranged a meeting of an MMA parliamentarian Shah Abdul Aziz, a religious leader from Kohat Javed Ibrahim Paracha and a pro-Taliban businessman Arif Qasmani with some top US officials, including Karen Hughes.

Javed Paracha confirmed that meeting to The News on Saturday and said that it was arranged by Khalid Khwaja. He said: “I was offered a huge amount of money for talking to the Taliban on behalf of the US government, but I told the Americans that first the Pakistan Army must give me a green signal and then I will proceed but Americans were acting on their own and the talks broke down.”

With the ULFA and NDFB menace coming under control, the Maoists and the United National Liberation Front (UNLF) of Manipur seem to be a new threat to Assam. Giving this information to the media today, Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said that taking that in view, the government was contemplating on handing over the case of the two arrested UNLF militants, including the vice-chairman of the outfit, to the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), besides developing border areas where Maoists and UNLF were trying to set up their base.
Gogoi also lashed out at individuals and organizations who advocate for the ULFA on its demand for sovereignty, and asked them to come clear if they too wanted a sovereign Assam: “From the very beginning, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh made it crystal clear that there would not be any talks on sovereignty, but even after that the People’s Consultative Group (PCG) went ahead for peace talks with the government,” he added.
Recall that the October 30, 2008 serial bomb blasts fronted by the anti-talks faction of the NDFB killed 3 advocates and hence there were no lawyers who wanted to fight on behalf of Ranjan Daimary. Now,
A Gauhati High Court bench of Justice Ranjan Gogoi today asked the Assam DGP, BSF DG and Kamrup (M) SP to disclose the whereabouts of the wife, son and daughter of NDFB chairman Ranjan Daimary within May 5. Ranjan Daimary’s sister Anjali Daimary filed a writ petition in the high court seeking the whereabouts of the wife and children of the NDFB chief. Four advocates came forward to extend legal service to Daimary today. The advocates are Manash Sarania, Sabda Ram Rabha, Babul Kumar Daimary and SK Ahmed.
For those who dont remember that incident, here we go. May Ranjan Daimary rot in hell without water or oxygen...
Terror mastermind and National Democratic Front of Boroland (NDFB) leader Ranjan Daimary on Monday confessed that the October 30 serial explosions in Assam that killed 100 people and wounded around 800 were carried out under his express instructions. The 50-year-old terrorist made this sensational revelation before police interrogators during intense grilling at the Assam Police Special Branch Headquarters here.

“I never thought the magnitude of the bombings would be so devastating. I regret and repent now for that horrific wave of bombings,” Daimary told police interrogators 48 hours after his arrest. “We triggered the blasts to make our presence felt and to show our strength to the Central Government,” Daimary said. The NDFB leader said they never thought their plan of triggering nine near simultaneous explosions would materialize. “It was because of inefficiency on the part of the police that we succeeded in our plans,” Daimary said.

Nine serial explosions rocked Assam on October 30, 2008 - three each in Guwahati and Kokrajhar, two on Barpeta Road and one in Bongaigaon. The planning for the serial explosions were hatched in Bangladesh in July 2008 and some trusted cadres were sent to all the blast sites to carry out a field study before executing the plan. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) that probed the serial bombings named Daimary and 18 other NDFB militants as the main accused in the bombings.
Here is an editorial with a crystal clear articulation of well-known ideas:
If the 30/10 back-to-back blasts were intended to prove the outfit’s presence by killing innocent people who were not at all responsible for whatever grievances it had had against the system, which left an indelible imprint of cowardice in the history of militancy and terrorism in this region, the Bhimajuli massacre was carried out to send out the message that anyone who would resist the outfit’s loot and extortion spree would be butchered — and even tots would pay the price for their parents’ audacity not to kowtow to the outfit! That being the reality, Daimary was already on a path of self-destruction.

And it was not difficult to see through his notion of ‘‘sovereign Boroland’’, especially after the Hagrama Mohilary-led Bodo Liberation Tigers (BLT) saw reason, abjured violence and signed a peace accord for the sake of the development-starved Bodo people in 2003. It was clear that Daimary, based in Bangladesh following the Bhutan operation of 2003, was against the interest of his own people at his tenacious best — the same people who he had set out to ‘‘liberate’’ by forming the Bodo Security Force (BdSF) in 1986, renaming it as NDFB eight years later. What is interesting is that an educated man like Ranjan Daimary — he holds a Master’s degree in political science from NEHU, Shillong — should fail so miserably to see the writing on the wall. But that is natural when one acts at the behest of hostile foreign powers. Have we not had the same experience with the ULFA?

The idea of a sovereign land as theorized by the likes of Daimary and the fugitive ULFA c-in-c Paresh Baruah is a colourful vesture on their own incapabilities when it comes to negotiating hurdles and aberrations from within the system, which is an accommodative democratic framework. That they operate without the mandate of the people whose cause they pretend to have advocated only to further their own interests in the enterprise of terrorism in cahoots with terror masters like Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), makes their case even more ludicrous. But the beauty of democracy is that they still have a scope to reinvent themselves — if they join the system and try to correct it by being its stakeholder and destiny-maker, as also by being a system within the system, such as the already existing Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC). It is high time insurgents-turned-criminal terrorists realized that they cannot defeat the mighty Indian nation-state and that there is always a great stake in being part of a rising state as our motherland, India.
More on the arrests...
Highly placed official sources told The Assam Tribune that Ranjan, alias DR Nabla was kept under surveillance by the security forces of Bangladesh for quite some time and for at least 15 days, he was virtually kept under house arrest in the outskirts of Dhaka before being handed over to India in the early hours of May 1. Sources said that after the Government of Bangladesh handed over four top leaders of the ULFA including its chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa before Bangladesh Prime Minister’s visit to New Delhi last year, India kept the pressure on the neighbouring country to take similar kind of action against the other militant leaders staying in that country and the arrest of Ranjan turned out to be a major diplomatic coup for India. Sources said that from the security point of view, the arrest of Ranjan Daimary was even more important than the arrests of the leaders of the ULFA. Though the arrests of the ULFA leaders definitely weakened the outfit, the all powerful commander-in-chief of the outfit, Paresh Baruah is still at large, while, on the other hand, Ranjan Daimary was the all powerful man in the anti-talk faction of the NDFB.

Sources said that after the arrest of Ranjan Daimary, the Government of India provided information about the whereabouts of several other militant leaders in Bangladesh and waiting for the response of the neighbouring country. Sources said that several top leaders of the ULFA including hardcore militants like Antu Chowdang, Drishti Rajkhowa and Apurba Baruah, all of whom are known to be close to Paresh Baruah, are still in Bangladesh. The ULFA has recently reactivated the central council headquarter in the Bakapura area of Sherpur district of Bangladesh and all the instructions to the cadres are routed through it. The Government of India has provided information about the ULFA base to Bangladesh on the basis of intelligence inputs and asked the neighbouring country to take action to evict it.

The whereabouts of Paresh Baruah is also shrouded in mystery as according to intelligence inputs, he might have returned to Bangladesh recently and the same information has also been provided to Bangladesh Government. However, the Government of Bangladesh is yet to accept the intelligence inputs to be correct. Meanwhile, official sources also admitted that though the arrest of Ranjan Daimary is a major blow to the anti-talk faction of the NDFB, it would not be correct to believe that the outfit is finished as at least 200 cadres of the outfit are still at large and the possibility of them indulging in violence in retaliation to the arrest of their leader cannot be ruled out.

Sources also pointed out to an interesting fact regarding the cease-fire agreement with the NDFB, which was signed when Ranjan Daimary was the chief of the undivided outfit, he did not put his signature to a single communication with the Government and only the other office bearers of the outfit kept informing the Government that the cease-fire agreement was signed with the approval of the chairman. Sources pointed out that in the first week of October 2004, the NDFB killed 47 persons in three days before sending a letter to the State Government on October 8 declaring a unilateral cease-fire. The Centre was initially reluctant to sign a cease-fire agreement with the NDFB but did so because of pressure from the State Government in May 2005. Though the NDFB had several rounds of talks with the Government during the period from 2005 to 2008, Daimary did not come to India to attend any of the meetings and the outfit formally split following the serial blasts on October 30, 2008.

Our Jorhat Corresponent adds: Hemen Bora, secretary, Jorhat Bar Association has come forward willingly to stand on behalf of the anti-talks NDFB leader Ranjan Daimary since the Guwahati Lawyers’ Association (GLA) resolved not to appear for anyone involved in the blasts on October 30, 2008. When contacted, Hemen Bora told this correspondent, “I have come forward to appear on behalf of Daimary on my own”. He further added, “equality before law should always be maintained. A person should not be driven by any emotion or personal bias. Law should be allowed to take its own course sans emotion or speculation”. Hemen Bora was injured and his brother Debajit Bora died in the blast at Jorhat on August 7, 2007. He has still three splinters of the bomb inside his right leg and is undergoing prolonged treatment. {Wow, and despite that, this sucker has time to defend someone, truly a mahatma indeed.}

He further said that he is going to take part a private discussion with the family members of Ranjan Daimary this evening. “Daimary has been sent to police custody under two cases (SUO 2/98 and U/A 10-13), one is extortion and another is possession of illegal arms and ammunition. Hundreds of such cases are being tried in several courts of Assam. So, why Ranjan Daimary should be deprived of proper justice?” said Hemen Bora to this correspondent. Bora also revealed that many lawyers of Guwahati encouraged him to proceed in this direction.
Meanwhile, who is this Union Minister?
A united opposition today stalled proceedings in the Rajya Sabha pressing the government to come clear on the name of a Union minister alleged to have links with a Bangladeshi arms dealer.
