Ajit Doval, a key Modi lieutenant who’s closely monitoring the NIA probe, of organising the Burdwan blast blast on the RSS’s behalf. Ajit Kumar Doval is now the national security advisor to the prime minister of India. During 2004-5, he was chief of Intelligence Bureau which works under CBI. It was in his period in office that Rajendra Kumar, special director of IB posted in Gujarat, generated bogus inputs including the one which declared Ishrat Jahan as a LeT operative, nay indeed a woman “fidayeen” out to kill Modi. He supplied the AK57 machinegun which the ATS under PP Pandey, DG Vanzara and GL Singhal used in killing her and three others. The order to kill them came from the “grey beard,” a euphemism for Modi and the “black beard,” i.e., Amit Shah who was then Gujarat’s minister of state for home working directly under Modi. Following his retirement from government service, Mr. Doval has become the director of the Vivekananda International Foundation, a New Delhi based think-tank to the BJP and the RSS. The foundation is staffed by many former officials from the ‘intelligence community’. Mr. Doval himself has conducted workshops on ‘national security related issues’ for BJP legislators and party workers. So, the person who would have supervised and handled the ‘Ishrat Jahan’ case at the central level is now a person very close to the BJP. Not that he is not talking. He has been consistently saying that the IB was aware of the fact that Ishrat was an LeT operative. He has said so on a show called ‘Views Hour’ on NWR, an online radio channel that is part of the Niti Central network (Niti Central is a group blog close to the BJP, run by Kanchan Gupta). He has also appeared on an NDTV programme, ‘Trending This Week’ aggressively defending the IB’s role. During this program, when asked about the fact that those killed in the encounter (Sadiq Jamal, Ishrat) were shown not to be terrorists, he says the following gem - “You never know about your ignorance. If I say that I do not know that a man is terrorist he does not become a non-terrorist. An ignorance of a thing does not prove anything. It is the knowledge that proves him. Ask those who say that he is a terrorist why they say that he is a terrorist. “ So, according to the former director of the Intelligence Bureau, which, in all fairness, should now be renamed the Idiocy Bureau, if the IB does not know that any one of us is a terrorist, it can still not rule out that we are not non-terrorists. A non-non-terrorist is a terrorist. No other evidence is necessary. Hence any of us could be a terrorist, and so fair game for trigger happy cops and spooks. This is why Ishrat Jahan had to end up the way she did. WIll this spill the beans on the public secret of the degree to which hard line Hindutva is already in bed with the deep state – the shady depths of the civil and military intelligence community. We already know from the Samjhauta Express, Malegaon and the Mecca Masjid cases that there is enough material pointing towards a deep symbiosis between rightwing politics and segments within the labyrinthine world of Military Intelligence as represented by Lieutenant Colonel Purohit and his liaison with the ‘Abhinav Bharat’ module. Will the Ishrat Jahan case establish the degree to which sections within the IB, right up to its highest ranks, are, or have been, or appear to be complicit with the BJP’s agenda ? Is this why Ajit Doval has to be so enthusiastic in propagating his theory of ‘non-non terrorism’ on television? Much has been made about the apparent references to Ishrat Jahan as an LeT operative in the document, just as much was made of a recording of a tapped telephone conversation between Headley’s handlers and the Lashkar ‘terrorists’ that was presented under the slug of ‘Ishrat Jahan’s LeT Links’ on the Headlines Today TV Channel and some newspapers like the Times of india and the Hindustan Times. The taped conversation actually has NO mention of Ishrat Jahan and it is mystifying as to how those who thought it fit to make these ‘leaks’ about Ishrat Jahan’s involvement in the LeT did so without verifying the fact that her name does not figure in either trace. It is not in the phone tap recording. This is the service Doval rendered to Modi, a reason why he is a close advisor today to the PM. Which court in India can deliver justice when such powerful bureaucrats and the PM himself are ganged up against ordinary citizens framed and killed in bogus terror charges, or languishing in jails for decades together or being acquitted now after having spent decades in jails as especially in the home state of the prime minister?
