New Delhi: Jamia Teachers’ Solidarity Association has raised questions over timing of the Indian Mujahideen email sent to media on September 19 after the Jama Masjid firing. JTSA said the mail was aimed at vitiating the campaign against the Batla House encounter.
“It is surely a matter of surprise that this email resurrecting the spectre of IM should come at a time when there is a reluctant acknowledgement of Hindutva terror networks even within mainstream media and political establishment. Further, that the creators of the mail chose to send it on the second anniversary of the Batla House ‘encounter—just when the trials in the Delhi blasts case have begun in the sessions court. It appears almost that the mail was sent with the express purpose of vitiating the campaign against the Batla House ‘encounter’ and the ongoing trials,” JTSA said in a statement.
The group has termed as bad policing the failure of the Delhi Police to trace the Jama Masjid shooters and sender of the mail but deciding to use the mail as evidence against Delhi blasts accused.
“A week after the shootout at Jama Masjid when motorcycle-borne assailants shot at two foreign nationals, and the receipt of a dubious mail purportedly from IM claiming revenge for the killing of Atif and Sajid, the Delhi Police now intend to use the email as evidence against those arrested for Delhi blasts.
This is yet another example of bad policing indulged in by the Delhi Police routinely. Unable to trace the assailants even days after the shoot out—which incidentally occurred practically next to a police station—unable even to trace the sender of the email, clueless and directionless, the Delhi Police hopes to cover up its inefficiencies by flogging the IM horse.”
