Guwahati : Cops defuse powerful bomb on Kanchenjunga Express, avert tragedy at Hindu Pilgrimage.
Somi S Mohanta || Siliguri, 17th June 2011
To frighten the Hindu pilgrimage for
abstaining from gathering in the yearly congregation of Ambubachi
Festival at ancient Kamakhya Temple near Guwahati in Assam, most
probably the Muslim United Liberation Tigers of Assam (MULTA) had their
definite planning to finish hundreds of Hindus this time. At the same
time anti-talk factions of ULFA and NDFB are also under the scanner for
such subversive activities who have been continuously defying the Indian
sovereignty in the North East India. Kamakhya Temple is considered as a
Shakti Peeth of 51 Shakti Peeth in the North East India. Lakhs of hindu
devotees come to Kamakhya in the occasion of Ambubachi Mela every year.
Hundreds of passengers of the Sealdah-Guwahati Kanchenjunga Express had a miraculous escape on Friday morning after a powerful IED placed
inside one of the reserved compartments was detected and diffused by
police well in time at Kamakhya Station near Guwahati. By the blessings
of Devi Mata, lives of some 1100 devotees were saved miraculously. The
IED device could not effective in time. Most probably the Islamists
wanted a Quranic treatment of Kaffirs through a blast and fire-works on
Jumma day (Friday) to celebrate the win of maximum numbers of Muslim MLA
s in Assam Assembly as sponsored by United Muslim Force of Badaruddin
Azmal Attarwala.
A team of Government Railway Police detected a suspicious bag on seat number 22 of coach S5 when the crowded train entered the Guwahati railway station after
an overnight journey from Sealdah in West Bengal. The GRP personnel
found no owner for the bag and on opening it found a milk can that was
tightly wrapped around by small ropes.
According to the police the IED weighed
around four kilogram was fitted with a programmable time device. There
were also three detonators and splinters inside the bomb. The bomb was
disposed off by a bomb disposal squad of special branch of Assam police
after few minutes of its recovery in the morning.
Police said the personnel on duty in the
train noticed an unattended small, but heavy bag on empty seat no. 22 in
S-5 reserved coach at Kamakhya railway station near Guwahati.
“As nobody claimed the bag at Guwahati
railway station, where the train arrived at 5.20 am, the GRP personnel
suspecting it to be a bomb evacuated about 1,100 passengers on board it
and the crowded platform,” they said. The train was 45 minutes behind
schedule.
Assam Police IGP (operations)
Bhaskarjyoti Mahanta said, ” We are yet to ascertain as to who could be
behind the planting of the IED inside the train. We are also examining
the fact the train had come through lower Assam.” The prime suspects are
the anti-talk factions of Ulfa and National Democratic Front of
Boroland. The lower Assam area through which the train passed has the
presence of mostly the NDFB faction. NDFB has now its connectivity with
both the Christian militants and the MULTA counterpart as a strategy of
power sharing of this region.
Officer –in-charge of the police station
of Guwahati railway station, Dhrubajyoti Hazarika said that police have
intensified security systems in and around the station. “We received
special directives from our senior officers few days before to check
every coach with utmost care before the Ambubachi festival. There are
inputs that some militants may plant explosives to create panic before
the Ambubachi festival in the city.”
A high alert has been sounded across the
state following the detection of the powerful bomb which was a
programmable time device (PTD) weighing 4 to 5 kgs and it could have
caused a major explosion, GRP sources said.
The Assam based insurgency is receiving
green colour in texture. A portion of Baruas in Assam have been
converted to Islam and helping the Islamic supremacists. Muslim United
Liberation Tigers of Assam (MULTA) has been running more than 200
terrorist camps/hide outs in Assam valley to strength its own set up and
to throw out all Hindus from Assam at any cost. They have a major plan
to make this land as part of United Islamic Bangladesh.
The Police and Para-Military have
recently cracked the conspiracy against the Assam Hindus by MULTA
Terrorists as the army entrapped a militant mastermind belonging to
Muslim United Liberation Tigers of Assam (MULTA) during a joint
operation at Phutimari village in Kamrup district of Assam on Sunday
last. The militant has been identified as Jamat Ali, carrying an one 12
Bore single barrel gun, a china made automatic revolver, a crude bomb
weighing two kilogram and some improvised detonators to run further
havoc over Hindus. MULTA has the strategy to curve out blasts, shoot
out, un-noticed rioting over communal issues on Fridays in Assam in
Hindu religious places and especially Hindu populated areas, as
apprehended.
