Yesterday, the southern city of Hyderabad was rocked by a bomb blast immediately following the Friday namaz, killing nearly at least 13 people and injuring 50. Police claim to have diffused two more bombs located near the bomb that exploded inside the Masjid. There was mass chaos around the Masjid following the explosion, and the police clashed with protestors who felt the police were not providing adequate security. The police fired tear gas, and it has been alleged that they also fired live ammunition into the crowd, killing several people. [link]. Four units of the Rapid Action Force have been deployed, and a city-wide bandh has been called by the Majlis Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) to protest the blasts [link].
I'm not going to jump to conclusions and accuse elements of the Sangh Parivar of this yet, despite my belief in their involvement in Malegaon (the aformentioned Maharashtra bombing). But considering that the police have already murdered protestors, and that the immediate impulse after any bomb blast in India is to blame the ISI, Pakistan and their alleged local Muslim collaborators...I will plead that this does not turn into another witch hunt that results in the harrassment of Muslims all over Hyderabad. Local Sangh outfits must at the very least be duly investigated in connection with these types of blasts, which coincedentally seem to be located in a particular pocket of India. Will update this soon....

Aatish,
You seem to be doling out some aatishbaazi (fireworks) here by first professing not to accuse elements of Sangh Parivar, but then insisting that the Sagh Parivar be investigated...
You must understand, in India Muslims are guilty until proven innocent, and Sangh Parivar folk are innocent until proven innocent.
;)
Until, of course, the point at which they run out of favor with the state. Then they get sent to jail and are released to run for political office.
I could see you americans of Indian/southasian origin have a knack of presenting any incident in India to the needs of your country.You will not mention why the need arose for Police to fire on worshippers? who insitigated them? does the police planted the bombs that these socalled "peaceful" worshippers stopped police from collecting evidence. Who is MOULANA Hamiduddin Anjul Hussain of (UAC) who will not allow even suspects of muslim origin to be arrested?
Will you also post a peice on the removal of Metal detectors from the mosque by the requesr of governing body of mosque?
Who removed the CCTVs which were installed there one week before the blast?Who demanded for the removal of these and they are the same people who are noww protesting against lack of security?
There is a campaign by interested parties mostly funded by SAUDI ARABIA that a MUSLIM will not plant a bomb in a mosque and will not kill another muslim deliberately?
The need for ISI/HUJI to create COMMUNAL DISTURBANCES in india doesnot gel with these innocent people of Hyderabad who are fed on the propaganda of SAUDIES.

Which country would that be exactly? :)
Cpt. Johann,
What are you a captain of? And what country? If you blame posters of bias, maybe you should also explain your own background. Also - please tell us where you are getting your facts from, because you are drawing large conclusions based purely on rhetoric.
As I have stated before, I am an Indian, and from a Kashmiri Pandit family, and worked in India as a journalist before coming to the US. I fully understand the work of ISI and the Saudi element, especially from the non-Sudeiri clans. I have also personally interviewed former chief of RAW and governor of Jammu and Kashmir, who told me that Indian intel agencies remain worried about acts, such as bombings, by Hindu radicals because these play very nicely into the hands of the ISI plots, which are designed to provoke sectarian violence.
As such, both the CBI and IB, and RAW to a lesser degree, are aware of illegal activities and conspiracies by Hindu radicals, but they do not publicize the same as that is the job of their political bosses. And Indian politicians from the Sangh Parivar are not going to openly discuss the activities of the radicals from within their own ranks.
I am captain johann and i am an Indian christian. By the way we in India need not hide our original names like you AMERICANS have to do.I am a captain because i used to fly jets.When i say your country, it IS AMERICA.
By the way please find out who is Bilal? Also whether Bangladesh radicals are involved in this blast. so far police has no clue and so it is very carefully planned operation.
