Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Singh Modi criticises ruling Congress for not taking action against any local group
NAGPUR: Indian Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Singh Modi hinted on Sunday that the Mumbai terror attacks could not have been carried out without internal help – comments that are in sharp contrast with claims by other Indian officials who hold Pakistan solely responsible for the attacks.Â
The senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader said, “If we single out that one incident (Mumbai attacks) and ask any person in this country … with basic information and knowledge, they will say that such a big terror attack on India cannot take place without any internal help from the nation itself.†…… [click to continue...]
In its first formal response to the Indian dossier on the 26/11 attacks, Pakistan on Tuesday said that Mumbai attacks were not planned from the Pakistan soil.
Pakistan Minister of State for Interior Tasneem Qureshi said that Mumbai attacks were not planned from Pakistani soil. He said that Pakistan will give a detailed response to the Indian dossier in a week’s time.
A team of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has submitted its preliminary probe report regarding the Mumbai attacks, Tasnim told reporters during a visit to National Police Foundation…

News just coming in that 5 member FBI delegation after visiting FareedKot in Pakistan has confirmed that Ajmal Kasab, the captured Terrorist in Mumbai Attacks, is not Pakistani.
Furthermore they have said that the National Identitiy Card shown by Indian Authorities belonging to Kasab is totally FAKE.
Will update this story, when more news is available. Â
ISLAMABAD: The alleged key suspect of Mumbai Attacks, Ajmal Kasab has no link to Pakistan, said the team of FBI after undertaking visit of Fareedkot in Pakistan.
According to the FBI team which visited Fareedkot, claimed by India to be the area of residence of Ajmal Kasab, no evidence could be collected from the area which could confirm the claim of Ajmal Kasab’s being Pakistan national.
I have been reading a few comments here on pro-Pak and other sites. I have also seen numerous disturbing news detailing how the terrorists who indiscriminately slaughtered nearly 200 people in Mumbai were aided by some elements of the Indian security apparatus responsible for protecting the city. The rise of Indian religious terrorist organizations that have penetrated India’s military and politics were about to be known in Maharashtra ATS chief Hemant Karkare’s report. The movement is so strong, resourceful and organized that it threatens the Indian govt itself and warrants the label “India’s Hindu al-Qaedaâ€. India is now emerging as a new ‘terror central’. India is now grooming its own ‘Hindu al Qaeda,’ terrorist militias so that they can implement the Indian dream of India becoming the next superpower. [click to continue...]
Most of us have seen Mumbai making top news stories recently, and New Delhi too for creating further news by pointing fingers at Pakistan for something that is a result of harbouring, financing, and training Hindu fundamentalists by organisations such as RSS and BJP. I came across another report about these two cities of “The Incredible Indiaâ€.
Although not a hot and breaking news as the Mumbai bombing, but still well worth mentioning.
Mumbai has made it to the Top 10 Dirtiest Cities of The World, while New Delhi lags behind (a little) by only making it to the number 24. However New Delhi did beat Port Harcourt, Nigeria which is the top 25 dirtiest city.Unfortunately (for some) no Pakistani city could even make it to this list, obviously not dirty enough!
Well, what can I say, I was gob smacked to read these ratings and am lost for words… Truly Incredible India, rockets sent to the Moon, and people living in such poverty and disgust that is just unimaginable. Why the govt cant help those in need before spending millions on a Moon mission ONLY to keep up with China. Also worth mentioning that no Chinese city made it in this list of filth. Chinese looked after their people, and started a Moon mission. But perhaps Genocidal India simply plans to finish the poverty and filth by simply sending all the poor people to the Moon, or just kill-em all. Problem sorted.
Here is the complete list of 25 from “Mercer†in descending order (Mumbai = No 7, and New-Delhi = No 24):
No. 25: Port Harcourt, Nigeria
Mercer Health and Sanitation Index Score: 46.8
Problems with waste disposal continue to contaminate the rivers of Nigeria, especially affecting residents in Port Harcourt. The area lacks strategies for preventing oil spills and contamination, and the clean-up methods after disasters require significant improvement.
No. 24: New Delhi, India
Mercer Health and Sanitation Index Score: 46.6 You’ll find just about everything except marine life in New Delhi’s Yamuna River. Garbage and sewage flow freely, creating a rich environment for the growth of water-borne diseases contributing to extremely high rates of infant morbidity.
No. 23: Maputo, Mozambique
Mercer Health and Sanitation Index Score: 46.3
Located on the Indian Ocean, the Eastern African country of Mozambique suffers from lack of sanitation processes–specific ally the lack of a solid waste removal system as well as sewage treatment. The capital city of Maputo feels the worst of these consequences. Piles of garbage line the streets, and the sewage in the river is visibly thick.
Mercer Health and Sanitation Index Score: 45.2 Located on Angola’s coast with the Atlantic Ocean to its west, Luanda is the city’s largest port. Studies from several agencies, including UNICEF and Oxfam, suggest that a large portion of the population in Luanda drink water of poor and in some cases dangerous quality. Much of this portion of the population lives in settlements called musseques built on hardened waste. Water arrives to these settlements in private tanks, which consistently show concerning levels of chlorine. Water conditions such as this only served to intensify a cholera epidemic in 2006.
No. 21: Niamey, Niger
Mercer Health and Sanitation Index Score: 45 The Niger River Basin, home to Niger’s capital city, Niamey, is a cesspool of pollution and waste. In a country with a total population just under 14 million, the healthy life expectancy at birth is 35 for males and 36 for females, thanks in part to poor sanitation and drinkable water. About one in four children raised here will die before age 5, the World Health Organisation says.
No. 20: Nouakchott, Mauritania
Mercer Health and Sanitation Index Score: 44.7 Located in northern Africa, Mauritania sits on the North Atlantic Ocean between Senegal and the western Sahara. Nouakchott, the country’s capital, is located on the western coast. Due to the desert-like climate, droughts and
water management are critical issues for the country. Oil deposits off the coast and iron ore serve as the country’s main industrial opportunities, but the majority of the population depends on farming.
No. 19: Conakry, Guinea Republic
Mercer Health and Sanitation Index Score: 44.2 Life expectancy, infant morbidity, and the percentage of the population that has access to safe water are shockingly low for Conakry, the capital city of Guinea Republic. Previous World Bank initiatives in Conakry focused on water supply and sanitation have not proved very successful.
The second Congolese city on the list suffers from many of the same pollutants as its neighboring city, Brazzaville- -air pollution from vehicle emissions and unbridled water contamination from the mass unloading of raw sewage in the city’s water supply. According to the CIA WorldFactBook, about 70% of the Congolese population live either in Brazzaville or Pointe Noire or along the railroad track, which connects the two.
No. 16: Bamako, Mali
Mercer Health and Sanitation Index Score: 43.7
Bamako, the capital of Mali, and the country’s largest city is situated on the Niger River. Rapid population growth, coupled with unbridled urban pollution, are among the many health and sanitation challenges facing the capital. Several droughts have caused migration from rural areas to the urban environment of the capital, which has only led to more water management issues.
No. 15: Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Mercer Health and Sanitation Index Score: 43.4
A recent World Bank study shows that cancer and respiratory disease rates are up due to increased air pollution in Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso. Increased levels of benzene, from motorbike petrol, and increased dust particles, amounting on average to nearly three times the WHO-stated healthy limit, contribute to these rising numbers. In a city characterized by a rainy season, waste management and sanitation also face challenges.
No. 14: Moscow, Russia
In a city where you can pay $3,000 a month for an apartment that doesn’t even have clean running water, Moscow also has troubling levels of air pollution, which present a daily strain on lung health.
No. 13: Bangui,
Central African Republic
Mercer Health and Sanitation Index Score: 42.1
Bangui, the capital of Central African Republic, faces water and sanitation challenges similar to its neighboring countries’ capitals. A rapidly increasing population, coupled with a lack of adequate waste and
water management, places stresses on the capital city.
No. 12: Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Mercer Health and Sanitation Index Score: 40.4
The capital of this east African country continues to grow populationwise, putting a stress on the city’s sanitation programs.
Solid waste, entering the Msimbazi River, contributes to widely spread infectious diseases among the population..
No. 11: Ndjamena, Chad
Mercer Health and Sanitation Index Score: 39.7
Ndjamena, the capital city of Chad, faces multi-faceted
water management challenges. A main site for concern here is the Conventional Basin of Lake Chad, upon which the country’s main fisheries greatly depend. Also noteworthy– the continual influx of population growth, accelerated by the migration of neighboring Sudanese refugees from Darfur, which places an unexpected strain on water management.
No. 10: Brazzaville, Congo
Mercer Health and Sanitation Index Score: 39.1
Air pollution from emissions, lack of potable water and the contamination of the city’s water from raw sewage contribute to the laundry list of health and sanitation concerns for Brazzaville, the capital of Congo. Each of these press upon the life expectancy of the local population.
No. 9: Almaty, Kazakhstan
Mercer Health and Sanitation Index Score: 39.1
The marriage of petroleum-based industry and insufficient safeguards against pollution sets the stage for an environmental crisis in this city. Toxic waste dumps require a huge price tag for improvement and an even larger price for neglect.
No. 8: Baghdad, Iraq
Mercer Health and Sanitation Index Score: 39
Poor water quality in Baghdad threatens to exacerbate the the transmission of water-borne diseases in the city. Fatal outbreaks of cholera struck several provinces of the country, including Baghdad from August 2007 to December 2007. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) also says air pollution, resulting from burning oil and aggravated by war, is cause for concern.
No. 7: Mumbai, India
Mercer Health and Sanitation Index Score: 38.2
India’s government hopes to transform Mumbai back into a burgeoning metropolis after recent economic decline. A recent private-sector report, Vision Mumbai, proposed changes in infrastructure, pollution control and economic growth strategy, which contributed to the seeking of approximately $1 billion of aid from Indian government.
No. 6: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Mercer Health and Sanitation Index Score: 37.9
Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, faces one of the worst sanitation problems on both the continent of Africa as well as in the world. The lack of adequate sanitation programs results in infant mortality, low life expectancy and the transmission of water-borne diseases.
No. 5: Mexico City, Mexico
Mercer Health and Sanitation Index Score: 37.7
Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, and the capital of North American air pollution, estimates unhealthy ozone emissions nearly 85% of the year. Mexico’s geographical location–in the center of a volcanic crater and surrounded by mountains–only serves to lock in the air pollution, causing smog to sit above the city.
No. 4: Port au Prince, Haiti
Mercer Health and Sanitation Index Score: 34
The country’s politically inspired violence and corruption are well documented. Equally dangerous: its air and water. Serving as one of the main ports on the island of Hispaniola, Port au Prince is central to Haiti’s economic development. A lack of pollution controls, however, contributes to the widespread environmental problems confronting the Haitian city.
No. 3: Antananarivo, Madagascar
Mercer Health and Sanitation Index Score: 30.1
Madagascar, located off of the southeastern coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean, makes this year’s list with its capital city, Antananarivo. Well known for its variety of unique flora and fauna, Madagascar has often been referred to as the world’s eighth continent, but the effects of the human population are quickly leaving their footprint.
No. 2: Dhaka, Banglades
Mercer Health and Sanitation Index Score: 29.6
Located in southern Asia, between Burma and India, Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh battles with the constant threat of water pollution. Surface water is often thick with disease and pollutants from the use of commercial pesticides. With an estimated 150 million people living in a relatively small area, cleaning up the problem won’t be easy.
No. 1: Baku, Azerbaijan
Mercer Health and Sanitation Index Score: 27.6
Surrounded by Iran, Georgia, Russia and Armenia on the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan has long been an oil hub. As a consequence, Baku, the capital, suffers from life-threatening levels of air pollution emitted from oil drilling and shipping.
As the readers may have already heard a lot of news floating about these days on Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) chief Hemant Karkare who was investigating the September 29 blast in Malegaon, and was murdered at a cruicial stage in his investigation. Incidentally, the Pune ATS on November 26 reportedly received phone calls threatening to blow up the residence of Karkare “within a couple of days.
Karkare became the head of ATS in January 2008 following his return to the state after serving seven years in Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) in Austria. Karkare had successfully solved the serial bomb blasts in Thane, Vashi and Panvel and was also investigating the Malegaon blasts. During his investiogation Karkare had concluded that radical Hindu terrorists backed by some “important†people in the govt, mainly from RSS Sangh and BJP were to be blamed for bombings in the Muslim-dominated Malegaon town. Examples of some of the names mentioned are Indresh Kumar and Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur.
During an interview, Karkare (pictured above)admitted to the fact that India was now dealing with the “Hindu bombsâ€.
Initially there were three different charge sheets filed in the case (two by the ATS and one by the CBI); the sinister role of the central investigation agency, CBI, in ignoring shocking conclusions found by the ATS investigation and in actually exonerating the accused not only became clear. The media too ignored this exposure until the recent Malegaon revelations by Karkare’s investogation.
RSS, BJP, ABVP’s Involvement
Some other names that came out were a Sadhvi Pragnya (well known and popularly used on the campaign trail. She was popular for her poisonous use of words), with connections to the ABVP (student wing of the Bharatiya Janata Party) and the RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) itself. There is also evidence of a thickly veiled but clear operational nexus between all these organisations, financial and ideological support for their actions. These links operated almost as if with the knowledge that impunity from prosecution and sentence was their birthright and more.
Army and Intelligence Officers involved
Two most important and dangerous trends, revealed by the Nanded investigations and reconfirmed now with the Malegaon probe, were regarding the involvement of both serving and retired officers of Indian intelligence and the army in training outfits that are ideologically opposed to the Indian constitution. According to the information, these officers were involved in the making of bombs, in generating terror and in spreading bitter communal poison.
Indian Army Controlled Chemicals in the wrong hands
While Indian politicians have always jumped up and down about Pakistan’s controlled chemicals getting into the wrong hands, Malegaon investigations revealed a very frightening fact. The leakage and consequent availability of highly controlled and dangerous substances like the RDX into the market place for easy use by any outfits that wish to make a career out of bomb making.
RDX is available only to the Indian army. There have been reported cases of RDX leakages in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan and. Gelatine sticks and ammonium nitrate, volatile substances used in the making of bombs in many instances, are carefully controlled in law, and should be very easy to trace. This has not been done for blasts on the Samjhauta Express, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Thane or Panvel, and Indian govt has neglected the use of these chemicals be it within India, or when used against Pakistan, and within Pakistan.
Overall, the Maharashtra ATS has charged 11 people, including Sadhvi Pragya Thakur and a serving Indian Army officer, Lt. Col. Shrikant Prasad Purohit in connection with the Malegaon blasts Sep 8, 2006 which killed 37 people and injured over 125.
Indian Minority Affairs Minister resigns for merely mentioning the truth:
India’s Minority Affairs Minister Abdul Rahman Antulay (pictured below) has offered his resignation to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh amid controversy over his remarks on the death of a top police officer during the Mumbai terrorist attacks.
This resignation has resulted from merely mentioning that Karkare’s murder could be linked to Malegaon investigation. He told the journalists that Karkare knew many things which were not meant to be known about the Malegaon blasts and that this might have gone against him. Antulay, 79 was quoted by the IANS news agency in the Parliament on Wednesday “Superficially speaking they (terrorists) had no reason to kill Karkare. Whether he was a victim of terrorism or terrorism plus something I do not know” .
Most opposition parties have come down very heavy handed on Abdul Rahman. Apparently his remarks caused uproar in Parliament, with opposition parties demanding his removal. The Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party said the comments had weakened India’s position on the Mumbai attacks which Delhi blames on Pakistani militants. Please refer to my words above that this is the same party who was directly being named by Karkare’s investigation results. Even his own Congress party that heads the ruling United Progressive Alliance has said they were only his “personal views” and did not represent the views of Congress party.
Antulay’s resignation does add extra headache to Congress though, as the Lok Sabha elections are nearing and the minority vote banks will be affected.
The government who has allowed these Hindu terrorists to grow, by supplying them controlled chemicals used for bomb making and keeping a blind eye to the atrocities committed by RSS Sangh, BJP and the likes against the Indian minorities and across the border, seems to be deeply embarrassed as this story unfolds further, while they force a war on Pakistan to save their faces !!!
I just came across this story in which a senior UN official dealing with the compliance of nations against terrorism has termed Pakistan as a very helpful and responsible nation. In his report, he has termed all agencies of Pakistan as very much committed against the banned entities. The timings of the report are very critical to the current just stand of Pakistan on the Mumbai attacks. Pakistan has repeatedly asked India to provide any credible evidence to implicate any group or person from Pakistan. It is worth mentioning here that Indian agencies are very busy in cooking up some credible evidence but till date they have failed. Their government is relying on their media reports as enough evidence while the same media quotes government for every thing they are saying so its like the famous circle on the India flag which will keep everyone running around without reaching any conclusion.
UNITED NATIONS: A senior United Nations official has said that Pakistan has “satisfactorily complied†with the UN’s sanctions on terrorist groups. Richard Barrett, Coordinator of the Security Council established al-Qaeda and Taliban Sanctions Monitoring Committee, told a foreign news channel that it was difficult to implement the sanctions completely, but the UN has found all Pakistani agencies were cooperative.The committee has the task of monitoring sanctions imposed by the Security Council on individuals and organisations declared as terrorist.

The so called captured Mumbai Terrorist Ajmal Kasab was kidnapped by Indian Agencies in 2006 with the help of Nepalies Forces, revealed today by one of the lawyers, who is investigating missing persons case. This news further highlights the comedic drama created by Indian authorities to divert attention from its internal seperatist movements and Hindu Terrorists towards Pakistan.
RAWALPINDI: A Pakistani lawyer C M Farooque claimed that many people, including Ajmal Kasab, were arrested before 2006 from Kathmandu by the Indian agencies with the help of Nepalese forces.
He said Ajmal Kasab went to the Napalese capital on a business tour. His application regarding his arrest was lying pending in the Nepalese Supreme Court in which a reply was sought from Nepalese forces and Indian High Commission.
While talking to the Geo News, C M Farooque Advocate said the Nepalese forces arrested almost 200 people including Ajmal Kasab before 2006 and his application in this regard was lying pending in the Nepalese Supreme Court in which Nepalese forces and Indian High Commission were made respondents.
The advocate said he wrote letters to Pakistan and Indian governments in this regard. He said that he had also addressed a press conference in Nepal highlighting the issue in which he revealed that the Nepalese forces arrested Ajmal Kasab and many others and held them at an unknown place and that these people would be used for their ulterior designs at some later stage. He said that he had no contact with Ajmal Kasab ever since he disappeared.
The lawyer said he was still pleading the case of Kasab and was to visit Nepal towards the end of this month. The Nepalese Supreme Court had repeatedly issued notices to the respondents to furnish their reply but they did not submit any reply.
Advocate Farooque said he had filed the petition in the Nepalese Supreme Court in February 2008. He said he was running an NGO, ‘Voice of Human and Prisoners Rights’ and the parents of Ajmal Kasab contacted him for help in this regard after appealing to the Pakistan Government for help.
The people arrested in Nepal had gone there on legal visa for business but Indian agencies were in the habit of capturing Pakistanis from Nepal and afterwards implicated them in the Mumbai-like incidents to malign Pakistan.
