Arundhati Speaks: puts forward 13 questions in her book on the parliament attack of Dec 13

Arundhati Speaks: SHARE THE TRUTH (MUST READ)
Arundati puts forward 13 questions in her book on the parliament attack of Dec 13:





Question 1: For months before the Attack on Parliament, both
the government and the police had been saying that Parliament
could be attacked. On 12 December 2001, at an informal
meeting the Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee warned of an
imminent attack on Parliament. On 13 December Parliament was
attacked. Given that there was an ‘improved security drill’, how
did a car bomb packed with explosives enter the parliament
complex?

Question 2: Within days of the Attack,the Special Cell of Delhi
Police said it was a meticulously planned joint operation of Jaish-e-Mohamma d and Lashkar-e- Toiba . They said the attack was led by a man called ‘Mohammad’ who was also involved in the hijacking of IC-814 in 1998. (This was later refuted by the CBI.)
None of this was ever proved in court.
What evidence did the Special Cell have for its claim?

Question 3: The entire attack was recorded live on Close Circuit
TV (CCTV). Congress Party MP Kapil Sibal demanded in
Parliament that the CCTV recording be shown to the members.
He was supported by the Deputy Chairman of the Rajya Sabha,
Najma Heptullah, who said that there was confusion about the
details of the event. The chief whip of the Congress Party,
Priyaranjan Dasmunshi, said, ‘I counted six men getting out of
the car. But only five were killed. The close circuit TV camera
recording clearly showed the six men.’ If Dasmunshi was right,
why did the police say that there were only five people in the car? Who was the the sixth person?
Where is he now?
Why was the CCTV recording not produced by the prosecution as evidence in the trial? Why was it not released for public viewing?

Question 4: Why was Parliament adjourned after some of these questions were raised?

Question 5: A few days after 13 December, the government
declared that it had ‘ incontrovertible le evidence’ of Pakistan’s
involvement in the attack, and announced a massive
mobilization of almost half a million soldiers to the Indo-
Pakistan border. The subcontinent was pushed to the brink of
nuclear war. Apart from Afzal’s ‘confession’, extracted under
torture (and later set aside by the Supreme Court), what was the
‘ incontrovertible le evidence’?

Question 6: Is it true that the military mobilization to the Pakistan border had begun long before the 13 December Attack?

Question 7: How much did this military standoff, which lasted for
nearly a year, cost?How many soldiers died in the process? How many soldiers and civilians died because of mishandled landmines, and how many peasants lost their homes and land because trucks and tanks were rolling through their villages, and landmines were being planted in their fields?

Question 8: In a criminal investigation it is vital for the police to
show how the evidence gathered at the scene of the attack led them to the accused. How did the police reach Mohammad
Afzal? The Special Cell says S.A.R. Geelani led them to Afzal.
But the message to look out for Afzal was actually flashed to the Srinagar Police before Geelani was arrested. So how did the
Special Cell connect Afzal to the 13 December Attack?

Question 9: The courts acknowledge that Afzal was a surrendered militant who was in regular contact with the security
forces, particularly the Special Task Force
(STF) of Jammu & Kashmir Police.
How do the security
forces explain the fact that a person under their surveillance was
able to conspire in a major militant operation?

Question 10: Is it plausible that organizations like Lashkar-e-
Toiba or Jaish-e-Mohamme d would rely on a person who had
been in and out of STF torture chambers, and was under
constant police surveillance, as the principal link for a major
operation?

Question 11: In his statement before the
court, Afzal says that he was introduced to ‘Mohammed’
and instructed to take him to Delhi by a man called Tariq, who was
working with the STF. Tariq was named in the police charge
sheet. Who is Tariq and where is he now?

Question 12: On 19 December 2001,
sixdays after the Parliament Attack, Police Commissioner, Thane (Maharashtra), S.M. Shangari identified one of the attackers killed in the Parliament Attack as Mohammad Yasin Fateh Mohammed (alias Abu Hamza) of the Lashkar-e-Toiba , who had been arrested in Mumbai in November 2000, and immediately handed over to the
J&K Police. He gave detailed descriptions to support his statement. If Police Commissioner Shangari was right,how did
Mohammad Yasin, a man in the custody of the J&K Police, end
up participating in the Parliament Attack?
If he was wrong, where is Mohammad Yasin now?
Question 13: Why is it that we still don’t know who the five dead ‘terrorists’ killed in the Parliament Attack are?
