Once again the Indian police are hailing its action where it has claimed to arrest 11 people, all of whom are well-educated persons like journalist, engineer and doctor, for allegedly planning to assassinate some important people in Karnataka. The state police chief Lalrokhuma Pachau said the arrested men were plotting to assassinate “very important personalities in Karnataka….with their arrests, a major catastrophe has been averted in Karnataka.” The 11, six from Bangalore and five from Hubli, were “handled” by Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Harkat-ul Jehad-e-Islami (Huji) operators based in Saudi Arabia, Bangalore Police Commissioner B.G. Jyothiprakash Mirji said at the joint press meet.
The news should be viewed keeping in mind the plot of the officials to harass the minority community by framing them in false charges. Recently when the SMS-row was going on, all fingers were pointed out towards the Muslims, however when the media reported the involvement of the member of Bajrang Dal, things died down. Interestingly, except for the names and age, no other details have been provided, saying it would hamper the investigation. The acquittals of Muslims after spending years of their life are a common story all across the country.
