New Delhi, October 25: The Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) has no borders and now it appears to be moving beyond its communal boundaries as well. For long associated as an extremist Muslim group, the Lashkar is now roping in Hindus as well.
Caught on camera is an LeT district commander Wasim, who promises to wage jehad against the Indian state. However, this Lashkar terrorist is unlike most others. He is an Indian by birth and Wasim is in reality a Brahmin boy. His original name has been revealed as Subhash Sharma. And reports suggest that Wasim is not the only Hindu foot soldier in jehad waged by the terrorist outfits.
11 other Hindu terrorists are on the wanted list, accused planning and executing terror attacks and killing innocent civilians and security forces. And those who have managed to escape the terror fold reveal the LeT’s terror plans.
Like Chuni Lal, who was abducted by the Harkat-ul-Ansar was promised a luxurious life, but he managed to flee. He said, “There were two Harkat militants, Raju and Ramesh. They said if I pick up gun I will get everything in life.”
“Hindu youth’s joining jehadi outfits has more to do with compulsions than conviction. But it brings home the subtle but stark truth that militancy has lost its moorings in ideology and faith and turned into a money-minting business.”
