Mama Mia, Allah Allah: Islamic terrorist Sohrabuddin is a Saint (Courtesy: Indian Media)
Once upon a time there lived a peaceful Islamic terrorist in Gujarat. His name was Sohrabuddin Sheikh.
One day, the Gujarat Police raided his residence and found huge cache of AK-47s and explosives used for peaceful purposes.
Another day, he was killed in an encounter.
For the act of killing an innocent Islamic terrorist, 14 Indian cops including a few IPS officers were arrested. The Court has also issued arrest warrant against the Minister for daring to kill a peaceful Islamic terrorist.
Mama Mia, Allah Allah: Islamic terrrorist Sohrabuddin is a saint canonised by the Indian Media and the Congress party — sponsors and defenders of Islamic terrorism in India.

Just who is this Sohrabuddin Shaikh?
- Author: Sudarshan
There are, really, three compelling issues that emerge from the drama of the past week. First, just who was this Sohrabuddin Shaikh and why are we being subjected to intimate photographs of him every evening on television? Second, are “police encounters”, in Gujarat or elsewhere, necessary, evil or merely a necessary evil? Third, what impact, if any, will this have on the political fortunes of everybody’s favourite bogeyman, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi?
To answer the first question, a bit of context is called for. In the late 1980s, well before Indian public discourse came to be dominated by me-too-Oprah Winfreys, Abdul Latif was the underworld king of Gujarat. Based in Ahmedabad, politically well networked, he made a fortune in the bootlegging industry.
Later, he became Dawood Ibrahim’s business manager in the State and was one of the criminal dons to make what now seems to be the seamless transition from organised crime to terrorism. Latif was a suspect in the Mumbai blasts case of 1993; the RDX and other explosive devices for that operation landed, remember, on the Gujarat coast.
In November 1997, Latif was killed in an encounter with the Ahmedabad police. He was under arrest and had allegedly tried to escape while using the toilet. A Congress-backed Rashtriya Janata Party (RJP) Government was then running Gujarat. The Chief Minister was Mr Dilip Parikh but the power behind the throne was the RJP president, Mr Shankarsinh Vaghela. Today, of course, Mr Vaghela is a Congress MP and Union Minister for Textiles.
Whatever he may say now, 10 years ago, Mr Vaghela’s supporters saw the elimination of Latif as an “achievement” and a sample of their leader’s courage and resolve. The importance of Latif’s departure from the State terror matrix was important enough for that redoubtable magazine, Frontline, to recall it in its April 29-May 12, 2000, issue. [.] Many of Latif’s cohorts were put under watch. One of them was his driver, apparently responsible for, in one daring move, hiding a huge cache of weapons meant for terrorist groups. This was part of the consignment that had arrived before the Mumbai blasts of 1993. Latif was under surveillance so his driver had hidden the arms in a well in his (the driver’s) native village near Ujjain.
The driver eventually faced over 50 cases, including some under the National Security Act. He was arrested, at various stages, by the Gujarat and the Madhya Pradesh police, but avoided conviction. When not facilitating terror networks, he was engaged in extortion rackets in Rajasthan, acting almost certainly on behalf of others. His principals, the police believe, may be linked to terror-funding groups.
The name of Latif’s driver was Sohrabuddin Shaikh. In most countries, there would have been relief at his death – though a legal sentence would have been preferred. In India he has become the tragic hero of a news television soap opera.

nice way to show the truth to the world…

Well such terrorists deserve to be killed constitutionally. But if extra judicial measures have been taken for a terrorists, no sweat.
The thing that bothers me is Why was his wife also killed? It puzzles me.

@neeraj
hey neeraj,
you are right.. those terrorists deserve to be killed constitutionally..
But that requires evidence..tons of evidence…
in Indian judicial system any amount of evidence will not be sufficient..
if we give them video they say its fake.
if we show them weapons they say its planted by police.
if we show eye witness then they say they are biased ..
it is impossible to prove it in court even if the terrorist accepts his crime.. do u know what the lawyers will then say? they say that police tortured him and made him accept his crime…
you should know what happened to attackers of the parliament.. the main culprit is still alive even after the supreme court sentenced him to death…
these bastards deserved to be killed as fast as possible to ensure safety to civilians.

I do not understand where we are going. Today, rivalty between two parties has removed difference between police and criminal. None of politician is uttering a word when dozens of CRPF are being killed. Number of Jawans are being killed any different kind of attacks by terrorist. Still they cry for Dhorabiddin and Tulsi. they are not muslim or hindu but they are not required for any civilised society. Our judiciary can be manage very well, for example to netralise impact of Shibu soren murder judjement, judjement of Navjot shiddu was given on same day.
They are wtire our judiciary can not punish any of crimials, there are human activist group to argue for them and to protect their interest.
State administration is for people not for politician interest or for anti social activist. We need to have kind of official arrangement to eliminate such anti social element irrespective of religious consideration. We need to protect our sociaty.
Do you remember those killed in name of protecting state interest were having family, wife, children, brother and sisters. We can not understand such pain in Ac cabin while arguing for such elements.
We common people of India shall stand by such encounter specialist and politicians behind them. We shall not argue about their intension, interest, consider only advantage to society.

Kanu, Your thoughts are commendable, but these things can work only if the police are honest. The day encounter killings become acceptable, it will be a great loss to common man.
I have seen the dark side of such unbridled power in Punjab.
It is a cure worse then the malady.
July 29th, 2010 at 4:35 pm
Turncoat political party congress is sellig India in installments. Muslims are growing & hindus are dying in HINDUSTAN. now the time has come for CIVIL WAR. Indian leaders have put us in such situation where we have to survive for everyday for money, career & everything. Troubles increased & we cannot think or do anything to stop Congress. very unfortunate!

July 31st, 2010 at 1:49 pm
sachin, deepak
you are being tracked, careful
kashi- that does not matter. if gujarathis are such criminals as you portray, then nobody can change their fate. Its their karma.

July 31st, 2010 at 1:56 pm
We are being tracked, really funny Joke Najeeb. Thanks it made me laugh. We do you need my contact details to pass on the stupid terrorists? tell me I will give to u. well u already have my email id: sac_5583@yahoo.co.in / Please continue sending such funny jokes. “YOU ARE BEING TRACKED, CAREFUL” HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!

With the UPA in power and CBI as a tool, anybody can be interrogated. It is pure fascism in action.
August 1st, 2010 at 8:32 am
@ Najeeb,
You can name Pragya, Advani et al as those who are accused of abetting terrorism.
However, for Islam, names are not required. The entire Koran is a terror manual and those following it are terrorists. Plain and simple.

@najeeb
You seem to be a very illuminated soul. Kindly give us the number of Bomb blasts carried out by these hindu terrorists.
August 1st, 2010 at 10:39 am
Najeeb, you are right Muslims whereever in the world are creating problems. One of my friend from Iran said that now this hard core Islamists are creating problem in Iran. As far as Narendra Modi is concerned, Seems people don’t know anything about Modi. For your information Narendra Modi is very very intilligent person, he has written many books. He is more knowledgeful compare to Manmohansingh & other stupid ministers of India. One more there are no Hindu terrorists, please be noted that.
August 1st, 2010 at 10:50 am
Sorry, but Let me repeat Narendra Modi is much much higher level person, like Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Vinayak Savarkar, Lal Bahadur Shastri. This is not my Prejudice, but Fact. Hence please once read Books written by Modi, watch he is saying and understand. Narendra Modi if he lives will be the prime minister of India.
August 1st, 2010 at 10:53 am
Najeeb, For Sohrabuddin please check on youtube. you will see
August 1st, 2010 at 12:40 pm
Sohrabuddin is a criminal , UPA-congress is crying like crocodile for devil death. IS Sohrabuddin a martyr ? certainly not, no body asked Rajiv Gandhi Bofors issue , Genodide of sikhs in 1984 by congress politicans.
IS IT NECESSARY TO CRY FOR A DOG OR DEVIL?
August 1st, 2010 at 1:34 pm
sachin, uttam agarwal
i am least bothered about sohrabudin. but about gundas gathering power, becoming ministers, deciding the fate of scores of people, often arranging organised crimes to stay in power etc etc

@najeeb bhai,
You have been very thoughtful in compiling a list of all the alleged activities in which Hindus were involved. You have tried to color them as hindu terrorists.
it seems you do not have any sense of proportion. Combine all the victims of these blasts. Their total is far less then those killed on 26/11 alone. This is even if we assume that you are right that there is some hindu terrorism.
I am not talking of allegations, I am talking of one single incident. Look at the entire globe. Islamic terrorism is every where.
Some say it is a religion of peace and brotherhood. First of all, it is not a religion, it is the largest gang or at the most a creed. secondly there is nothing peaceful in it. thirdly, if at all there is brotherhood, it is between cruel muslims and there is no sense of secularism in it.
Your call.
