Mumbai 1993 bomb blasts case – Blast verdict catches the small fish
1993 bomb blasts -small fish fry and the big ones fly - Three more accused have now been convicted in the 1993 Mumbai bomb blast case. Later, the public prosecutor declared the convictions as a blow to Lashkar-e-Toiba, the Pakistan-based militant group.
Although the convicted trio faces death penalty and may indeed get it, this can hardly be called a blow to any Pakistan-based group, let alone Lashkar (That was already proved last year when Lashkar managed to walk a dozen armed people into the streets of Mumbai, wreaking a similar havoc as the one 16 years ago). In a series of slow and lame convictions over last 16 years, the Indian authorities have indeed managed to catch and convict most of the small fish. And many of those small fish may be fried as well. But the biggest ones flew away long long ago.
And that’s why none in the media bothered to follow up with the visiting secretary of state on why her country would not force Pakistan to hand over to India the man who has been the mastermind behind many of the terror attacks against us. Dawood Ibrahim does not live in the border areas and he does not hide in the caves. The extradition of Dawood Ibrahim was the one thing India should have demanded and stuck to. That the Indian prime minister cannot even bring himself to utter such a demand speaks volumes about how far India still has to go and how subservient it still is in the area of international relations. Even Sri Lanka, a much smaller nation, finally got their wish to kill their own public enemy number one. Looks like India will end up giving Kashmir up to Pakistan and giving Arunachal Pradesh up to China and giving Goa back to the Portuguese before it can qualify to demand anything from the world’s real superpowers.
