Karkare conspiracy theory

A.R.Anthulay  had been sidelined by Congress  like an old  lame horse   withdrawn from the race owing to its worthlessness.
Anthulay, rejected from all forms of political activity by his party, reduced to a low portfolio of a minority affairs Minister was trying to get into the limelight for long. We have many examples from the past of many politicians who were dumped by the people, completely lose their sorts and try some kind of gimmick that is of controversial by nature to get back into the limelight. Anthulay too, who had irreversibly ended his ambitions of a high portfolio ministry tried a trick, which fortunately for him had some takers including the people across the border. However, that trick boomeranged and he fell flat because there were no takers of his theory in his own party.

Anthulay alleged that ATS chief Hemant Karkare was shot by the people who were responsible for Malegaon blast, during the 26/11 terror strike. Where did he get this theory  still remains a mystery. He doesn't head any investigation agency nor he heads the home ministry. The Karkare conspiracy theory was first bruited by a Pakistani TV channel well before Anthulay had blurted it out. Anthulay could have borowed a leaf from that channel or may be he had said that at the behest of the ISI. It is still unknown who had inspired the garrulous old crank. One can understand the desperation of the Pakistani establishments to protect the terrorist bred by them, but what was Anthulay’s interest in this matter? Any ways Anthulay did not have any sympathizers even within his party and he lost his job. Later he tried to evade from the whole issue saying that his statements were just categorical and in TV.

The times of India wrote the next day- Quote” The "Karakare conspiracy" has been articulated by some Urdu newspapers and clerics like the Shahi Imam of Delhi's Jama Masjid. This is despite the exhaustive account of Ajmal Kasab, who along with slain terrorist Ismail, shot Karkare, additional commissioner Ashok Kamte and encounter specialist Vijay Salaskar. Also, a Mumbai police constable Jadhav, who actually survived the shooting by lying at the back of the qualis commandeered by Kasab and Ismail has given his account of the shooting as well.” Unquote.

Some Urdu newspapers and Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid with the Pakistani establishment wanted to nullify the dreaded attack by the Pakistani terrorists on the people of Mumbai. Anthulay was trying two birds with one stone, instead of the birds he  himself fell. These forces will again come and justify their dirty deeds. It is for us, the citizen’s of India to defeat these propaganda of glorifying terrorism and protecting the terrorists by people close to Pakistan.
