Current American establishment's quest for control and "teaching countries lessons" is pushing the geostrategic chessboard in a certain direction. The resultant Indo-China rapprochement may be a watershed moment in this century. A detailed analysis.
Canadian Intelligence and political establishment have played Jekyll and Hyde games while using Khalistanis against India. The stories of omission and strategic misses are so spectacular that only collaboration can explain them.
New configuration and dynamics is brewing up in North and South Korea that may have larger ramifications.
It has been all known by those who looked deeper than the UPA Government spin, that the Sonia Gandhi led Government had betrayed the Indian national interest at various occassions. But what is coming out now is clearly showing how in an attempt to bring down Narendra Modi, the entire establishment was even willing to play along with Pakistan’s Jihadi Terror groups like Lashkar-e-Toiba while undermining Indian security. There was a certain narrative that the establishment had to peddle and to reinforce that narrative they concocted documents and lies.
The terror attacks by Pakistan’s Jihadi groups and their hired terrorists in India have put India’s security in peril many a times. Whether it was the whole Khalistan terrorism or Kashmir terror or the attack on Delhi’s Parliament, the various blasts in Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Delhi and other cities, and finally the big ones in Mumbai (26/11) and Pathankot. It would be irresponsible for any of the politicians to subvert the intelligence investigation and use it to score political points. But that had been the norm with the erstwhile UPA regime!
In the whole process where India’s national security was repeatedly undermined and ideological strawman issues created – three people were in the forefront: Sonia Gandhi, P. Chidambaram, and Sushil Kumar Shinde.
iTo understand P. Chidambaram’s background – one needs to remember what else he did as a minister. One, remember the case of the Tapuriah and Hassan Ali – the hawala smugglers? While Enforecment Directorate department reporting to the then Finance Minister, P. Chidambaram was investigating Tapuriah and Hassan Ali, Tapuriah was being defended in Calcutta High Court by Nalini Chidambaram! Read all about that here – Chidambaram, Tapuriah, Hassan Ali, and Taufiq Gaffar: A Surreal Picture! It is basically a treason of India.
iiAnd then the very appointment of CVC PJ Thomas who oversaw the 2G scam as the Telecom Secretary – by Chidambaram and PM Manmohan Singh.
Dr. Singh and Chidambaram first tried to bring in the Telecom Secretary who oversaw the 2G scam as the Central Vigilance Commissioner, which was as RED a Herring as any. This effort, frustrated by the lone warrior in the name of Sushma Swaraj who openly dissented. Then Supreme Court – the highest court of law in the country went ahead and started investigating the issues. To which Dr. Singh asked the judges to mind their own business and not meddle with Executive operations. Well, they didn’t anyway and indicted the Government by saying that the hiring of PJ Thomas as the CVC was ILLEGAL!
These two episodes are important to understand the whole conspiracy of 2G scam led by Manmohan Singh and Chidambaram as well as latter’s complete lack of integrity and willingness to barter the Indian national security!
The main issue in the 2G scam was that UPA ministers and bureaucrats deliberately sold the frequency allocation licenses for 2G spectrum to mobile telephone companies for below the proper value. The loss of revenues as calculated by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India was INR1.76 trillion (US$26 billion) – which comprised of the difference between the amount mandated to be collected and the money actually collected. The mandated amount calculation was based off of 2010 3G and BWA spectrum-auction prices. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed a chargesheet on April 2, 2011 where the loss was shown to be INR 309845.5 million (US$4.6 billion). As per the Supreme Court of India ruling, the main accused A. Raja who was the Minister of Communications and IT (2007-2009), – “wanted to favour some companies at the cost of the public exchequer” and “virtually gifted away important national asset[s].”
The real story became the loss of revenue to the exchequer. But what we are interested in, in terms of conspiracy against the Indian national security interest is the paving the way for sale of those licenses by the companies which got them from the Government to the foreign corporations with shady backgrounds.
UAE based Etisalat bought shares worth $900 million in Swan Telecom, which had won the license in September 2008. Meanwhile Unitech, another original winner of license sold 60% share of its telecom operations to Telenor, a Norwegian company with Chinese backing. So, while Swan got the license for INR 15.37 billion ($230 mn) sold 45% share to Etisalat for INR 42 billion ($620 mn) to create ETISALAT-DB; Unitech Wireless got the license for INR 16.61 billion ($250 mn) and sold 60% stake to Telenor for INR 62 billion ($920 mn) to create UNINOR.
Later in February 2012, Supreme Court ruled on petition by Subramanian Swamy due to which 122 licenses were cancelled – including those of Uninor and Etisalat-DB.
Etisalat’s Dawood Ibrahim link: It is important to know Indian intelligence agencies knew the links of Etisalat-DB with Dawood Ibrahim. The company was run by Shahid Balwa. In March of 2011, after the threat from the sale to Etisalat came out – there was a major threat of attack on CBI HQs by Dawood’s men to destroy the documents on the 2G spectrum scam case. Ostensibly to thwart the canceling of the licenses!
Dr Swamy divulged that that MHA had expressed concerns about Shahid Balwa’s links to Dawood Ibrahim.
He said Dubai-based Etisalat, which was also under the scanner of the ministry was allowed to invest in Swan Telecom.
“Ministry of Home Affairs had said Shahid Usman Balwa should not be allowed to head any telecom company because of his links with underworld-don Dawood Ibrahim,” Swamy said.
Swamy said following the 2G scam, Etisalat was stopped from buying stakes in a Chennai-based company due to objection by the Home Ministry.
Telenor – Chinese Government Link: On the other hand, Telenor had strong links with the Chinese. In fact the equipment that was going to be installed was to come from China. A reader has posed the question on Telenor and that it is a Norwegian Government owned company. He is right and we are correct in our raising the red flag on Telenor as well.
Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd is a Chinese networking and telecom equipment company that was founded in 1987 by an engineer in People’s Liberation Army. Suspicions of its closeness to the Chinese Government has kept it out of the US market. Here is the reason why:
What’s holding Huawei back is the conviction in Washington that the company has undisclosed connections with the Chinese government, and suspicions that Huawei equipment could surreptitiously harbor software to facilitate cyberwarfare, including espionage or network disruption. Huawei denies both assertions.
It describes itself as an entirely private and independent firm, founded in 1987 in Shenzhen by Ren Zhengfei, a former military engineer. Most of the company’s shares are held by Chinese employees (foreigners are generally barred from holding shares in Chinese companies).
Now, the reason why there is an issue with Telenor’s participation in Indian telecom market is because its equipment is from Huawei, the very company which is barred in US because of its close links to the Chinese Governments and risks that bugs can be built into the equipment that can provide the Chinese complete access to evesdropping.
Huawei signed a five-year global agreement with Norway-based Telenor Group to supply radio access network (RAN) equipment and professional services throughout the operator’s European and Asian footprint.
The Chinese equipment manufacturer said the agreement focuses on modernising existing 2G and 3G networks and providing 2G, 3G, and LTE technology from Huawei, which has been a partner of Telenor in the area of RAN technology since 2008.
Therefore access to Telenor – which seems to be a “reseller” for Huawei – is to provide access to Huawei (and the Chinese Government) to the entire Telecom network.
So while there was the main corruption with respect to plundering money from the government exchequer by underselling licenses made the headlines, an even more sinister plot was to hand over the access to India’s telecom networks to known Terror groups and enemy countries!
And, who was responsible behind the scenes for this entire scam? Let us hear it from the Congress party seniors – HR Bhardwaj said:
“Chidambaram used to browbeat everyone on the basis of his language and education. I have seen his performance everywhere. In 2G, he is solely responsible,” he claimed.
So the obvious question one has is – if P. Chidambaram was the main guy responsible, and the beneficiaries of this whole scam were to be the Dawood Ibrahim gang (and by proxy ISI) and the Chinese – who would have unmitigated access to the mobile networks of India helping them for surveillance and eves-dropping as well as manipulation, then who was the them Home Minister, P. Chidambaram working for? India or ISI and China?
Samjhauta bomb blast occurred midnight of 18 February 2007 on the Samjhauta Express – a train beween Delhi and Lahore. The blasts happened just after the Panipat station in two carriages. 68 people were killed, most of them Pakistani nationals.
The US Treasury to this day since July 1, 2009 – has maintained that the perpetrators of the crime were the LeT.
Arif Qasmani is the chief coordinator for Lashkar-e Tayyiba’s (LET) dealings with outside organizations and has provided significant support for LET terrorist operations. Qasmani has worked with LET to facilitate terrorist attacks, including the July 2006 train bombing in Mumbai, India, and the February 2007 Samjota Express bombing in Panipat, India. Qasmani conducted fundraising activities on behalf of LET in 2005 and utilized money that he received from Dawood Ibrahim, an Indian crime figure and terrorist supporter, to facilitate the July 2006 train bombing in Mumbai, India.

The UPA Government came out in November 2008 to say that Lt. Col. Purohit was involved in the blast and not LeT. In fact, Purohit had supplied the RDX for the blast!
On April 20, 2016, Captain Nitin Dattaray Joshi admitted that the ATS had forced him to implicate Lt. Col. Purohit in the case.
Speaking exclusively to India Today, Captain Nitin Dattatray Joshi said, “I was threatened. Never saw RDX at Purohit’s house.” Making a startling revelation Joshi said, “I was forced by the ATS to implicate Purohit. When I said that I have no idea about the blast, they said I am not cooperating in the investigation and threatened me.”
“Firstly they told me to say that Purohit gave me the illegal weapons to give. Secondly, they wanted me to say that I saw the RDX at Purohit’s residence. Thirdly, they wanted me to say that he confessed to me that he has supplied the RDX.”
Why was something that everyone knew was committed by LeT – a Pakistani terror group with strong connections and backing of the Pakistani ISI – put on an Indian Army officer?
And why this officer? Why was Lt. Col. Purohit so important? For this remember the dates.
Government implicates and arrests Lt. Col. Purohit on November 15, 2008 and the Mumbai attack happened on November 26, 2008.He was an officer in Military Intelligence, who as per RAW officer had infiltrated the Lashkar-e-Toiba and Indian Mujahideen. He used to give lectures to the Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) of Maharashtra. And just 15 days before the 26/11, Lt. Col. Purohit was arrested on the charge of being the mastermind of Samjhauta Express bomb blast. It is instructive to note that the American CIA site continued to have Lashkar-e-Toiba as the main agency behind the Samjhauta bomb blast even when the Indian Government was trying to make a case against Lt. Col. Purohit and float the theory of Saffron Terror!
It is also important to remember what Rahul Gandhi said to the US Ambassador on Saffron Terror. This was based on the Wikileaks document of the cable from US Consulate in August 2009.
India’s political princeling and Congress Party heir apparent Rahul Gandhi feels that the “the bigger threat (to India) may be the growth of radicalized Hindu groups, which create religious tensions and political confrontations with the Muslim community,” according to a cable by U.S ambassador to India Timothy Roemer which was released by Wikileaks on Thursday.
The August 3, 2009 cable records Roemer’s observations from a “candid conversation” he had with Rahul Gandhi at a dinner hosted by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for visiting Secretary of State Hillary Clinton two weeks earlier. Roemer reports Gandhi as saying, in response to his query about Lashkar-e-Taiba’s activities in the region and immediate threat to India, that “there was evidence of some support for the group among certain elements in India’s indigenous Muslim community.” However, the risk of a “home-grown” extremist front, reacting to terror attacks coming from Pakistan or from Islamist groups in India, was a growing concern and one that demanded constant attention.
In an addendum while citing the young Indian leader, Roemer comments that he (Rahul Gandhi) “was referring to the tensions created by some of the more polarizing figures in the BJP such as Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.”
From the Wikileaks document that cites the cable from US Ambassador Roemer – it is very clear that Rahul Gandhi was creating the Saffron Terror narrative in front of the US while keeping Narendra Modi central to the process. It is apparent to anyone reading with a bit of attention that Saffron Terror was web to trap Narendra Modi in. The whole narrative was a tool to hit Narendra Modi politically!
The role of Digvijay Singh is extremely interesting. That day, when Hemant Karkare, the ATS guy who had tortured Lt. Col. Purohit and had been the main protagonist of the “Saffron Terror” theory – was killed during 26/11 Mumbai Attacks – Digvijay Singh had talked to Hemant Karkare. In fact when doubts were expressed, Digivijay Singh came out strongly with his phone records to prove his call had actually taken place!
Digvijay Singh said the call by Hemant Karkare was made from Maharashtra ATS office from the number 022-23087336. The Congress leader claimed that the slain ATS chief was under immense pressure as the BJP and Shiv Sena had unleashed a campaign against him after he made arrests in the Malegaon blast case.
It was right after this call – that Hemant Karkare immediately rushed to the spot where Ajmal Kasab and other shooters were and was killed within minutes! What did Digivijay Singh tell Hemant Karkare? It is a question that has yet not asked of him! But when you look at the highlights of the book produced below and the arguments forwarded by Digvijay Singh, the Congress General Secretary – it is easy to surmise that Congress leadership and the spin doctors in Pakistan’s intelligence were working off of the same script! Is that merely a coincidence?!
The story gets stranger – because Digvijay Singh is also the guy who was at the forefront of creating the Saffron Terror theory. Here he is with the other leaders of that Saffron Terror theory creation group:
Maulana Mahmood Madani, Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind general secretary & Rajya Sabha MP; Mahesh Bhatt, Bollywood Director; K Rehman Khan, Congressman & Deputy Speaker, Rajya Sabha; Meem Afzal, former ambassador and journalist; Qalb-e-Jawad, Shia leader; and Maualana Tauqeer Raza, prominent Barelvi cleric. This program was moderated by Akhtar-ul Wasey, director of the Zakir Husain Institute of Islamic Studies at Jamia Millia University.
Highlights of the book: Here are some of the key points from the book.
In this context, it is important to look at the narrative being dished out on the other side of the border. One will notice the uncanny similarity of the narrative that Congress was officially promoting – with 3 of its MPs and General Secretary blessing the book launch, it is as official as it gets – to what the Jehadi nuts like Zaid Hamid in Pakistan were dishing out!
Now let us discuss the other activities and events that went in to discuss the whole process of making the “Saffron Terror” theory mainstream.
Here is a detailed account of how “Saffron Terror” theory was created and promoted by the UPA Government despite very clear inputs to the contrary on each bomb blast they used for that purpose.
Cut to 2016, and we see that the skeletons are tumbling out of the cupboards! The current NIA DG has said that there was no case against Lt. Col. Purohit in Samjhauta blast. A fact borne out by lack of any evidence presented in courts or any proceedings filed against the officer for past 8 long years! Basically he was made to rot! A guy who had infiltrated the LeT and IM modules in India was arrested and made the poster boy of Saffron Terror and made to rot. Why? To facilitate the Mumbai Attacks of 26/11 and to also undermine Narendra Modi by linking him to Saffron Terror by proxy!
“There is no proof against him in Samjhauta blast case. He was never an accused. I wonder why his name is being linked to Samjhauta blast case,” NIA Director General Sharad Kumar told PTI here. (Source)
In these depositions submitted in court, the key witnesses being relied upon by the NIA to back the saffron terror theory have said that they were coerced into implicating the likes of Swamy Aseemanand, Lt Col Purohit and Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur.
These revised depositions under Sec 164 of CRPC are admissible in court and constitute a huge setback to the saffron terror theory propounded by the UPA after the NIA took over the case in 2011. NewsX has been able to confirm that these witnesses have now given a virtual clean chit to those from the Hindu groups who were accused of masterminding the Samjhauta blast and the Malegaon blast. (Source)
NewsX exposed the news of how Lt. Col. Purohit was falsely implicated.
This is Lt. Col Purohit’s wife on how ATS Officer Hemant Karkare tortured Lt. Col. Purohit to create the foundation of the “Saffron Terror theory”. Her husband’s story in her own words is indeed heart-rending!
“Given Lt. Col. Purohit’s advanced level of infiltration into LeT and IM, his arrest was done probably to pave the way for 26/11 attacks!”
Lt. Col. Purohit had written a letter to PM Modi describing the torture and the ugly treatment he was meted out by the ATS squad under the directions from their political bosses. Here is the letter that Lt. Co. Purohit wrote – Lt Col Purohits Letter to PM Modi. In the letter he explains why he needs access to the documents with the Indian Army that can help him prove his innocence. Even more importantly, how his letters to the PM Manmohan Singh and the then Home Minister Shinde fell on deaf ears – without even being acknowledged!!
Thankfully, the NDA Government and specifically, Manohar Parrikar has asked the Indian Army to provide all the documents needed by Lt. Col. Purohit to prove his case.
Maintaining that the matter was in court and he cannot decide on the merit of the case, Parrikar said he has told the Army to give all information sought by Purohit, one of the main accused in the Malegaon 2008 blasts case.
“Except for words of people and names of countries, whatever document he wants, except when directly it impacts security of the nation or it involves names of some other officers, that can be blacked out, the info has to be given to him,” Parrikar told reporters here.
He said it should help Purohit prove his innocence based on what he is saying.
“The final decision has to be that of the Court,” he said.
Purohit had earlier this month written to Parrikar requesting restoration of his honour by way of rank. (Source)
One thinks that this is the least the country can do for someone who has given his life for the service of the country and been tortured for it. Had he not been arrested, one can surmise easily that perhaps the 26/11 terror attack could have been averted! In fact, Lt. Col. Purohit’s arrest was done probably to pave the way for 26/11 attack by the Pakistan-trained jehadis!
The Ishrat Jahan case was about the death of a girl who was supposed to be an innocent girl, but as per the Intelligence inputs, she was an accomplice of Lashkar-e-Toiba. Here is the timeline of the all the events:
June 15, 2004: Ishrat Jahan, Pranesh Pillai alias Javed Shaikh, Zeeshan Johar and Amjad Ali Rana are murdered in an encounter. Amjad Ali Rana and Zeeshan Johar were Pakistani nationals while Javed Shaikh was a converted Muslim who had been brainwashed.
June 18, 2004: Shamima Raza, Ishrat Jahan’s mother accompanied with Samajwadi Party president, Shakib Khan – held a conference where she denied everything related to Ishrat Jahan. This was despite the fact that in her deposition to the police she had said something completely different.
July 14, 2004: Ghazwa Times, Lahore quotes Jama’t-ud-Da’wah as having said, “The veil of Ishrat Jahan, a woman activist of LeT, was removed by Indian police and her body kept with other mujahideens (terrorists) on the ground. Ishrat was with her husband on the front seat of the car.”
2007: Many policemen held responsible for the death of Ishrat faced trial in connection with the 2005 encounter of Sohrabuddin Sheikh and his wife. The NGO activist lobby had become active in a bid to call Ishrat Jahan case a “fake encounter” and the LeT terrorist as an innocent.
August 6, 2009: First affidavit is filed in Gujarat High Court, where Ishrat Jahan is called an LeT terrorist.
September 7, 2009: Metropolitan Magistrate S. P. Tamang submitted a report in the metropolitan court Ahmedabad implicating top Gujarat police officers. This started a series of articles and narratives from the journalists to paint Modi’s government as criminals based on that report. The 243 page report was completed within 25 days without any permission from the High Court. Also, the Metropolitan court went beyond the jurisdiction on what was said in the report.
September 30, 2009: Second affidavit is filed in Gujarat High Court, but in this the reference to Ishrat Jahan being an LeT terrorist is taken away!
February 2014: CBI files a supplementary charge sheet where IB officers are named as the accused in the “fake encounter”. A CBI officer says: “Nothing changes the fact that it was a joint counter terror operation of IB and Gujarat Police which was turned into a staged encounter. The antecedents of four victims does not change the fact that it was a fake encounter,” In this Special Director of IB – Rajinder Kumar was charged with murder and criminal conspiracy.
Also read on how the plot by Ishrat Jahan and company was really speaking an Assassination plot for Narendra Modi and that is why Congress and anti-Modi brigade tried to sanitize Ishrat Jahan.
At the root of the whole issue with the Ishrat Jahan case now is the discrepancy between the two affidavits filed in the High Court by the Home Ministry. Earlier, P. Chidambaram; the then Minister of Home, denied any knowledge of how the first affidavit. When the change in the two affidavits was brought out, Chidambaram had said the following:
“It was brought to my notice that the first affidavit was filed without my approval and it was being misinterpreted. It was my duty to correct the first affidavit. So we filed a supplementary affidavit after consulting the home secretary, the director of Intelligence Bureau and other officers,” Chidambaram said, as per ANI.
However, TimesNow broke the news about how the first affidavit – which Chidambaram said he did not have any knowledge of – had P. Chidambaram’s signature! And it was all in black and white and the ex-minister could deny no more. Since then, he has been off the media circuit.
After breaking the news of how Chidambaram had signed the first affidavit and then also signed the second one within a matter of month and a half.
The next obvious question was how Congress had betrayed India just to get at Narendra Modi.
One thing that the readers will see clearly is how the apologists of Congress have been alleging that even if Ishrat Jahan was a terrorist, killing her “in a fake encounter” was not as per the rule of law. Let us look at that angle and allegation as well.
The Congress apologists have been changing the goal posts in the Ishrat Jahan case all the time. Until it was proven unequivocally that Ishrat Jahan was a terrorist by the news channels, she was being called “Bihar ki Beti” and even Shaheed! When it was proven that she was clearly an LeT aligned terrorist, the post was changed to the party line “…but.. but.. even if she was a terrorist, she could not have been killed in an encounter. What about the rule of law?”
Well, now even that argument has been busted! Based on new evidence, it is clear that evidence regarding the encounter in videos and forensic experts was hidden from the courts and it was not allowed to see the light of day. Until now. And what emerges is something shocking!
The 12 membered panel that investigated the crime scene had unanimously agreed that firing FIRST came from the Indica car and that the police fired in retaliation, Surprisingly, this was REJECTED by the SIT which was headed by the very man who was a nominee of Ishrat Jahan’s mother! What a way to subvert Justice and Truth!
An unseen video tape of reconstruction of the whole crime scene had been kept suppressed for 5 years by the SIT! This video report provides clear proof that it was a genuine encounter where police fired in self-defence when the terrorists were challenged! In fact, top 3 forensic labs in India gave a clean chit to the Gujarat cops saying that Javed had fired on the police first. What did the SIT go by? A report done by students of University of California instead.
India’s history has been a story of its betrayal by its mightiest. The last time such a major betrayal occurred, it took India 250 years and almost its entire wealth to come out of a genocidal colonial rule. A country’s wealth and its reserves of resilience aren’t unlimited. In today’s age it takes less than 10 years for Iraq to become a no-man’s land from once very prosperous country. Afghanistan was a modern society and within 15 years was reduced to a Jehadi hinterland.
Pakistan’s Jehadi network is not alone. It is backed by the ISI. And we also need to understand that Pakistan is not alone. Very recently, we have seen how China had blocked sanctions on Hafiz Saeed in the UN Security Council! With the history that we share with these countries, and the aim to encircle India that they harbor, it would be folly to believe that working with LeT and creating false props of terror like Saffron Terror, where none exist, will not just play into the hands of China-Pakistan combine but also existentially impact India’s independence.
Notwithstanding the red-eyes wonder with which the Communist student view China, it is at the end of the day a brutal colonial power. Anyone who has been to Tibet will realize how the ordinary Tibetans are treated as slaves and how their homeland has been bared of all of them. Similar fate awaits any other country that gives into the brutality and hegemonic agenda of China. Anyone with love for Pakistan and China is welcome to go and stay in those countries and find out for themselves – before they part with their lives – about the fantasy of those societies. But it is not a good enough reason to take the entire country’s population down that hell hole.
It is time we understand that the coalition of anti-India forces does not stop at just China and Pakistan. Now, it is a coalition of China-Pakistan-Congress. It is as stark as your nose. Only hallucinatory blindness can prevent one from understanding it.
Canadian Intelligence and political establishment have played Jekyll and Hyde games while using Khalistanis against India. The stories of omission and strategic misses are so spectacular that only collaboration can explain them.
Geostrategic engagements of Indian PM Modi and his cabinet suggest that India's actions are striking at the very root of the Deep State. That is why everyone from George Soros to his plant Donald Lu are busy planning. A deeper look.
India's ambitious Deepwater Greenfield Port at Vadhavan is set to revolutionize global trade routes and strengthen national security. How will it impact trade, security and geopolitics.
Kolkata Gangrape and Murder case and the subsequent batting for the criminals by the entire administration, including the Chief Minister, was not an exception in West Bengal. It is a pandemic!
