Indian Government behind Mumbai and Parliament Attacks, Ex Indian Officer

A glimpse of orchestrated attacks in Mumbai
  
New Delhi: R V S Mani, a former Indian home ministry officer, and a member of the secret service team had disclosed that India itself was behind the terror attacks of Parliament and Mumbai, which almost put two nuclear states, Pakistan and India, on the brink of war at that time.

Mr Mani, who, while in post of home ministry under-secretary signed the affidavits submitted in court in the Ishrat Jahan encounter case, has said that Satish Verma, until recently a part of the CBI-SIT probe team, told him that both the terror attacks were set up "with the objective of strengthening the counter-terror legislation (sic)", Indian Media reported.

According to Mr Mani, Mr Verma narrated that the 13.12. 2001(attack on Parliament) was followed by Pota (Prevention of Terrorist Activities Act) and 26/11 2008 (terrorists’ siege of Mumbai) was followed by amendment to the UAPA (Unlawful Activities Prevention Act).

When contacted by Times of India, Verma refused to comment. 

"I don't know what the complaint is, made when and to whom. Nor am I interested in knowing. I cannot speak to the media on such matters. Ask the CBI," said the Gujarat cadre IPS officer who after being relieved from the SIT is working as principal of the Junagadh Police Training College. 

Just after the attacks, India accused Pakistan of its involvement in both of the attacks and started a propaganda campaign maligning Pakistan based organizations and its agencies for the attacks. 

Two Pakistani men, Afzal Guru and Ajmal Kasab have already been hanged by Indian government in parliament and 26/11 cases respectively.
