Who stands to gain?

The Intelligence Bureau has warned that the ISI of Pakistan may use remnants of Khalistani terrorists hiding in Pakistan to assassinate Mr Narendra Modi. The Khalistani movement intended to create an independent Sikh state in Punjab and resorted to violence resulting in the assassination of the Prime Minister,Mrs Indira Gandhi. However, it was the blowing up of Air India flight 182, from Montreal to Delhi, over Ireland killing 329 people by the Babbar Khalsa International which resulted in the defeat of the movement as western countries clamped down on its financing. Starved of funding and defeated by the police in Punjab surviving members of BKI are still hiding in Pakistan as servants of the ISI. So who would want to see Mr Modi dead? Pakistan would seem to be an obvious candidate because he has promised a more muscular foreign policy. Modi was apparently responsible for the deaths of a few hundred Muslims in riots in Gujarat in 2002. However, it is not the Muslims of Gujarat who have made that an issue but the so called secular parties, especially the Congress which has used the CBI to file innumerable false cases against Modi and his ministers. This utterly cynical ploy to win " minority " votes has convinced the Indian Mujahideen that Modi should be killed. Thus the bombs in Patna 10 days ago. But if truth be told, some in the BJP would also be very glad if Modi is killed because the resultant sympathy wave will ensure a big victory in next year's general elections and smooth slide into the Prime Minister's kursi. With tears of hypocrisy, of course. The US would be very pleased if Modi is removed. In typical boorish behavior the US has refused Modi a visa to visit the US, which has a very large Gujarati community, but not to anyone of the Congress although the Congress President had to make a quick getaway from a hospital in the US after being served with a summons by a Sikh group. The US wants India to quietly accept every barbarism from Pakistan without retaliating. Mr Vajpayee did nothing after the attacks on our Parliament in 2001 and the present government went on " bended knees " to ask for peace after the Mumbai attacks in 2008. If Modi has no money stashed abroad and no children studying in the US he makes for an awkward customer. So many reasons to want Mr Modi dead.
