Ganj Bakhsh-e-Faiz-e-Aalam Mazhar-e-Nur-e-Khuda Naqisaan Ra Peer-e-Kamil, Kamilaan Ra Rahnuma (The bestower of spiritual treasure in both the worlds, the reflector of the splendour of God; A perfect teacher for the beginners, an accomplished spiritual guide for the perfect.) This timeless eulogy to the greatness of Hazrat Data Ganj Baksh, Abul Hassan Ali Ibn Usman Al-Hajvery, the patron saint of Lahore, was composed by another great Waliallah, Khawaja Moinuddin Chisti, whose shrine in Ajmer, Rajasthan (India), is a lodestone to the faithfuls seeking religious fulfilment and peace of mind. Not only that the appeal of Khawajas teachings cuts across the Hindu-Muslim communal divide and includes a large Hindu following that reveres him as much as the Muslim devotees. Khawaja Moinuddin Chisti came to Lahore in 1165 AD and stayed at the tomb of Data Ganj Bakhsh for two weeks, where he meditated and the couplet was offered as a tribute once he sought leave from the Darbar. It is a measure of the prevailing times that shrines of both these highly venerated sufi icons have been bombed by terrorists. The shrine of Khawaja Moinuddin Chisti at Ajmer was bombed on October 11, 2007, in which two devotees lost their lives. The blast at the Dargah of Data Sahib, at Lahore, on July 1, 2010, was much more vicious and claimed 50 dead with over 200 injured. The bombings enraged the population both in India and Pakistan where people find it difficult to comprehend the motivations of the perverted minds, who attacked the most revered icons of a millennium of Sufism in the subcontinent. In Pakistan, none of the terrorists groups has accepted responsibility for the suicidal attack. However, remarks by the Pakistani Minister for Interior, underscoring the presence of the third hand is meaningful. While it may take some time to uncover those who attacked Data Darbar, the Indian perpetrators of the attack on the Dargah at Ajmer have been identified after a lapse of three years. These are not cadres of Lashkar-i-Taiba (LeT) or Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI), as the establishment in India is wont to make the world believe. Instead, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) terrorists Devendra Gupta and his associates stand accused by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Indias premier intelligence agency, for targeting the Dargah at Ajmer. CBI investigations have also confirmed the existence of a clear connection between subversion at Ajmer (October 2007) and the blasts at the Mecca Masjid in Hyderabad in May 2007. Not only that, evidence is now available that links the accused of these incidents to Malegaon Mosque attack on September 8, 2006, in which 31 Muslims died. Shadows of official culpability remain thick because even as the pattern and repetitive modus operandi of the attacks on mosques clearly indicate to a Hindu hand, yet the states police have kept their eyes shut; ostensibly under political pressure. Terrorists belonging to the Hindu 'right have shown a persistent streak for bombing mosques and their footprints are now well recognised. In this context, it should be instructive to look at the timings and the targets of the five bombings in Maharashtra since 2003. The Parbhani blast occurred at Mohammadiya Masjid on Friday, November 21, 2003; Purna blast occurred on Friday, August 27, 2004, targeting Meraj-ul-Uloom Madrassa and Masjid Siddharth Nagar; the Jalna blast occurred on August 27, 2004, at Quadriya Masjid; the Nanded bomb which killed its Hindu mastermind, was intended to detonate on Friday, April 7; and the Malegaon blast too occurred on a Friday, September 8, 2006. All the bombs blasts were timed to cause maximum casualties as the Juma congregations formed up for prayers. Claims made by the Indian intelligence and police combine alleging that Muslim extremist modules were behind such blasts simply do not add up. Why would Lashkar-i-Taiba and Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami target and bleed devout Muslims offering Juma prayers to raise communal frenzy, remains a thesis which can make sense only to the Indian police, security agencies and the political establishment. Lamentably, in the aftermath of attacks on mosques only the Muslim community has borne the stigma and pain for uncommitted crimes. In the Ajmer incident, Muhammad Salim was charged by the police as a HuJI terrorist, who was alleged to have died while detonating the bomb. This was not merely a police concoction; HuJI-LeTs involvement in the Ajmer blast was endorsed by no less a person than Shivraj Patel, the then Home Minister. Now that the RSS activists Devendra, Sanjay Gupta and other accomplices have been named in the Ajmer Case, where does Indias propaganda of LeT modules and HuJIs sleeper cells and terrorist training camps inside Pakistan stand? Experience has shown that indigenous terrorism in India remains a blind spot for its media which never tires of blaming Pakistan for all the incidents of terror taking place in the Indian territory. For Indian agencies the ongoing turmoil in Pakistan presents an opportunity too lucrative to be missed. Stoking the fires of sectarian strife remains central to the Indian design to destabilise Pakistan and their penetration of militant organisations, who have turned against the state cannot be ruled out. Terrorists are insane people but even in the dark depths of their sick minds, if they happen to be Muslims, attacking mosques and shrines remains outside of the pale of probability. Unfortunately, the Hindu terror modules stand proven to have committed acts of brazen terrorism against mosques and shrines in India to stir communal and sectarian violence. Attack on the Data Darbar, one of the most revered sufi shrine deeply respected by all sects, is unthinkable for any Pakistani. The involvement of the Indian agencies in the Data Darbar blast, to light up the fires of sectarian violence in Pakistan needs to be seriously pursued. The writer is a freelance columnist.
