A Muslim civil servant with integrity
by Rishi Sat Jul 06, 2013 11:40 pm
Antony has quickly extended a Congress hand again to Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) in Tamil Nadu, another state where it cannot survive without an ally. The DMK is in less of a hurry, and may not do so before election dates are announced. Congress is the only party that knows when, but if it is getting antsy, there has to be a reason.
But hurry is dangerous in politics. You can trip up if you have not planned how to negotiate the various traps that always lie on a plotted route. You hold one end of a map up, beaming at cameras, and the other end collapses. Has this happened with the Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) charge-sheet in the Ishrat Jahan case, probably the final effort to derail Narendra Modi after more than a decade in which every twist of the legal process has been exhausted?
CBI proclaimed Ishrat Jahan innocent, but admitted that the three men shot alongside her by Gujarat police were terrorists. Perhaps CBI and the government thought that everyone who mattered, including media, would treat this as the final word.
Then, quite unexpectedly, things began to go a bit wrong. The Intelligence Bureau (IB), which is headed by Syed Asif Ibrahim, an officer with a fine reputation, refused to kowtow. A tussle broke out between IB and CBI over Ishrat Jahan. Facts emerged, which had so far been kept out of public purview: principally, that David Headley, convicted for his role in the organisation of the 2008 Mumbai attacks, had named Ishrat during his interrogation by the premier Indian investigation agency, NIA. Instead of leading an offensive, the government might be forced to clean up its own mess.

Actually it is not News that was reported by the Dawn newspaper.
I copied and pasted the text from the syndicated column by M.J. Akbar, an Indian Muslim. Many newspapers including the Dawn publish Akbar's column. He is based in Calcutta.
