Apparently, I missed this blatant lie that Secular Imam Shekhar Gupta uttered in this article.
….in April Hindu fanatics bombed the Jama Masjid, the stately 17th-century mosque in old Delhi that is an abiding symbol of Islam in the Subcontinent.
The news report on this incident mentions no terrorist group or persons. Gupta seems to have divined it. What’s even noteworthy is that the Mighty Shahi Imam did not accuse any Hindu of these blasts; makes me wonder if Gupta is on a fast lane trip to usurp the Imam’s throne.
Somebody, please sue Secular Shekhar Gupta for libel.

Mumbai’s Urdu Daily ‘Sahara’ headlines: Is Mossad hand behind Mumbai train blasts of 7/11?
Mossad, an Israeli intelligence agency, is today cited as possible organiser of Mumbai train bomb blasts. Immediately after the blast, Mossad was reportedly engaged by Sai Baba Mandir trust to provide security to the famous religious shrine. The newspaper clarifies that till now the Mumbai authorities have not confirmed as to why the Sai Baba Trust had to employ a foreign intelligence agency for its protection. Or if Maharashtra Government and Central Government have cleared the hiring of Mossad intelligence agency?
Sahara News Bureau [SNB] report on the front page of Sahara Urdu Daily, further adss that “some security experts have wondered if through the excuse of security of Hindu temples, Mossad, which is notorious for counter-terrorism and counter-espionage all over the world and especially in Arab and Muslim countries, is allowed to step in Maharashtra state, the conditions will seriously deteriorate not only in Maharashtra, but all over India”.
SAHARA further quotes an anonymous retired Muslim police officer,who was commenting on the news of Mossad security for Sai Baba Mandir: ” To get into Maharashtra, Mossad itself may have arranged the Mumbai train blasts in such a way that the whole blame should fall on SIMI, the banned Muslim Students organization” [which is now legal at least in India largest state of Uttar Pradesh] and other Muslim organisations.
[SAHARA URDU is published from Mumbai, Delhi, Lucknow, Gorakhpur, Kolkatta and Patna]
No English media with all their patriotic pretensions has yet found it necessary to report on entry of Israeli intelligence agencies in Maharashtra or in India. That probably suits private media interests, but is fraught with most sinister development for the nation, in times to come.

Raj Mehta,
Thanks for that sahara link. But it sounds funny at some level, doesn’t it?

Hypertree for one is pleased with the cleverness of Sai Baba Mandir which is contracting their bodyguarding services from Mossad, the intelligence agency of Israel.
For years, we communists have thought long and hard on how to combat the brilliant tacticians of the Mossad, the world’s most reputed Intelligence Agency, and now, thanks to Raj Mehta’s keen pulse on the news, Hypertree has the solution at last: it has but to contract them as bodyguards.
Hypertree has to confess that the thing uppermost on its mind at the moment is not the hegemonists but the cleaning of its house; and wonders if Raj Mehta could put in a word with the Mossad to see if it has any agents it could spare as maids for some daily house cleaning? Hypertree is of course a very progressive employer, and pays progressive wages.

This was truly libel and he truly deserves to be sued. But we are only cribbing in the blogosphere. Now how about some action. Let all of us patriots simply cancel their Express subscriptions and send letters to M/s Vivek Goenka & Co why they are doing so. It is only when the Express pockets are hurt that they will see some good sense. Why not start this on the blogosphere.
Think about it. The internet and e-mail help in spreading this.

Ahmed Rashid writes in Asian Age,”Spy in the cold:why western intelligence fails’-August 11, 2006:
Quote:
Israel completely underestimated the extent of Hezbollah’s rocket arsnel and its apparent ability to continue firing those rockets even when under intense Israeli bombardment. Hezbollah has become the hero of the Muslim world because it managed to spend the past six years digging tunnels and bunkers along the Israeli border, which the Israelis neglected to monitor.
The Israeli press is already talking about the need for a thorough investigation into the country’s intelligence services.

If they cant save their own country, imagine what they can do with Sai Baba Dargah. All they can do is plant bombs and cleverly put the blame on others.
