[Reader-list] Hindutva terror probe haunts Pune investigation

[Javed]

Dear Bipin
When Praveen Swami writes about Islamic terrorism and Kashmiri
extremists with intricate details (which no other journalist has
access to), we believe him gleefully to score our points about
Pakistan and so on. But now, when he raises doubts if Hindutva forces
were involved in this terror act, we discard him as "no authority". I
would like you to see some of the following links to see what an
authority Praveen Swami is considered on such matters:

Investigation is going on and all the clue leads to pak based terrorists group with the help of local support. The intention is clear, by this false reporting they want to divert/mislead the investigative agencies. Such a people are also counted as sleeper cell.

It's bitter situation that such mindset increasing in India and with such mindset country cannot freed from terrorism unless we act strictly with iron hand. But, congress not showing any such will and do not want to come out from vote-bank politics of the minor appeasement to fight the terrorism.
