What exactly is a “one-track” investigation?
Reacting to the serial blasts in UP today, Comrades A B Bardhan and Shamim Faizi said:
“it was obviously the handiwork of the forces who were hell bent upon creating communal tension in the country”
…but then go on to say that
“the investigation in all these three incidents should not be ”one-track”.
This is not all.
While the Home Minister believes “…these blasts are a result of a deep conspiracy” and “…the motive could be to disturb communal harmony”…”According to the police, the blasts may be in retaliation to the arrested terrorists being beaten up by lawyers and not being assigned even a counsel to defend them in the court” (believe it or not, these two sentences are from the same report)
I am really confused.
If the attacks were so obviously the work of “forces hell bent upon creating communal tension”, working on a “deep conspiracy to disturb communal harmony”, why not keep the investigation focused on these “forces” and make it “one-track”?
Or might it be that the attacks were actually not by any “forces hell bent upon creating communal tension” but by “forces that were angry about the refusal of UP’s lawyers to argue cases on their behalf“?
If so, this is strange way of making friends, I would think.
It also reminds me of “mafia-style” politics (Do read the box item “The judge and the mafioso at the end of this report).
If you or any of your friends and/or acquaintances know any UP lawyers, do ask them to read this news-story – it is particularly relevant.
On a more serious note, read:
Blasts? What Blasts?…Yeh to hota hi rahta hai…
Another day, another blast – “Kuch nayee baat batao yaar”
Anger, tears and despair… and finally
Four Years, Two Attacks, One Story

Well, er – I am not really sure. Could be they meant ‘one track’ and not ‘one-track’. That is to say, there are many tracks you can follow. Kindly avoid taking this one particular track which will eventually lead you to ….. Well, what can I say?
Dear Sir,
What a sage statement. It should not be one track.
All tracks should lead to Hindutva. All tracks should lead to the fact that it all started with the “Babri Masjid” All tracks , if possible should lead to Shri Modi. All tracks should lead to the arrest based on the vilification campaign by the communalists against the “TRUE FREEDOM FIGHTER” Afzal Guru!
The only problem is that the 9/11 bombings, the Madrid bombings, the Bombings of the British underground will not have tracks to Shri. Modi or Babri Masjid and they will end up with the courts of the respective countries!
What a sad ending to a great statement!

Another thing that caught my eye in the article:
1.””It is essentially the responsibility of the state government to contain terrorism with law and order being a state subject,” Mr Pandhe added.”
So CPM is indeed directly responsible for Nandigram?
Mr. Pandhe is trying to stitch a one-size-fits-all suit. An anticipatory bail of sorts. By reiterating that breakdown of law and order is to be tackled by the State Government, he is giving a hint to the UPA to keep off West Bengal.
That is also the reason why he and his comrades are inclinded to give professional advice on how to conduct investigation in such matters. The investigating agencies are reminded gently that certain tracks are off limits to them. “We set the rules and you play the game.”
Even Sachin Tendulkar must head back to the pavilion if the umpire raises his finger and declares him out to a no ball. Show dissent at your peril. Such are the rules of the game.
