SAMJHOUTA BLAST IS NOT THE FOURTH BATTLE OF PANIPAT
The devastating explosion and resultant fire in the Samjhouta Express on 18th February has exposed another ugly chasm in India’s security and intelligence armour. No doubt, all railway trains are soft targets and the mammoth paraphernalia that go in preparing a train of coaches, maintaining security at platforms thronged by thousands of passengers and ensuring track safety are indeed Herculean problems.
In ordinary political terminology and in diplomatic vocabulary the latest jihadist perfidy have been described as an attempt to derail Indo-Pak dialogue, sabotage of the visit of Pakistan’s foreign minister and the forthcoming SAARC congregation. This myopic interpretation is nose-length logic. The deeper nuances are strategically much deeper, which involve the very fabric of India’s civil society- destruction of communal harmony and alienation of the Muslim masses of the country.
Bringing about political fissure through communal holocaust has been the traditional tool of the Muslim separatists who often operated under the garb of Muslim League. Now they operate as Jihadi Tanzeems under the over all guidance and supervision of the important Establishment tools of Pakistan and Bangladesh: The Inter Services Intelligence and the Directorate General of Forces Intelligence. No Pakistani and Bangladeshi tanzeem can operate beyond international borders without consent and guidance of the two fulcrums of evil. Therefore, the blasts in Samjhouta Express were an inseparable part of the jihadi objective of the forces located in Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Samjhouta explosion is a part of the chain of train explosions that started with serial blasts initiated by Dr. Jalis Ansari of Ahl-e-Hadith Hind after Ayodhya demolition and Bombay serial bomb blasts. While Dr. Ansari perpetrated the attacks to vent anger, the blats at Akshardham, Ayodhya, Varanasi, Delhi and Mumbai and Malegaon were directed at instantaneous generation of communal holocaust. The follow up cool-reactions of the Hindu and Muslim communities and national solidarity exhibited by them had defeated the ulterior intentions of the ISI and its cousin the DGFI (Bangladesh).
Core-planning of the ISI-DGFI involve exporting and planting jihadist separatism amongst the Indian Muslims and demand newer political geography for the Muslims as was demanded by the fanatic Muslim League protagonists, who relentlessly fought for a Muslim homeland. Indian Hindus and Muslims have so far declined to oblige the ISI-DGFI duo and jihadi tanzeems controlled by them.
Samjhouta express is not only a train. It is a garland between the hearts of the Indian and Pakistani civil society. It does simply not make a journey possible; it enables Indian and Pakistani civil society to revisit the past that garlanded us as a unique entity of civilasational churning. That churning had produced a unique culture that accommodated Indian and Turkic-Mongol-Persian aesthetic effervescence.
Besides stern warning to Indian polity and civil society, the latest blast also sends a stark message to the ruling masters in Pakistan who are perceived as stooges of the USA and its allies in war against terrorism in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere. It is no secret that the Al Qaeda and Taliban are operating from Pakistani soil and the military establishment of Pakistan and its civil society are crumbling down before their strategic thrusts. Powerful segments of the ISI and Pakistan Army are supporting them.
It is time for Pakistan, India and saner political establishment of Bangladesh to sink the dirt and debris of history and unite in the common field of joint strategy to defeat the global jihadist thrust now being guided by the ISI-DGFI-Al Qaeda and Taliban quartet.
Samjhouta blast in a way is the open declaration of the fourth battle of Panipat, a battle directed against the values cherished by the civil societies of Pakistan, India and Bangladesh.

Why al ansari speaks obscene things? It is a fine piece of intelligence analysis.
