Lal Bahadur Shashtri With Dr. Homi J. Bhabha

In a recent revelation, it is found that CIA killed Dr. Homi Bhabha and Former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri.

US played many games to bring India down. It is well known that poor quality of wheat was supplied which even pigs did not eat in US during Pt Nehru’s time. Contamination farmlands with Parthenium grass (very dangerous for health, crops, farming and soil) was done to spoil Indian economy and publichealth.

Here are some more shocking revelations. Is it a game to show friendship with India now?

A SHOCKING INSIDE NEWS of CIA killed Dr Homi Bhabha & Shastri The CIA is notorious in eliminating people who are perceived to be a threat to America. In that sense, it’s not different from the underworld. Just how ruthless the CIA can be can be appreciated from the shocking admittance of a CIA top gun in the below interview. The man reveals how the CIA killed Dr Homi Bhabha, one of India ‘s greatest ever scientist, and Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri. The article is spine-chilling.

THE BACKGROUND

Known as “The Crow” within the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Robert T. Crowley (“Bob” Crowley) joined the CIA at its inception and spent his entire career in the Directorate of Plans, also know as the “Department of Dirty Tricks,” Crowley was one of the tallest man ever to work at the CIA. Born in 1924 and raised in Chicago, Crowley grew to six and a half feet when he entered the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in N.Y. as a cadet in 1943 in the class of 1946. He never graduated, having enlisted in the Army, serving in the Pacific during World War II. He retired from the Army Reserve in 1986 as a lieutenant colonel.

Bob (Robert) Crowley first contacted journalist Gregory Douglas in 1993 and they began a series of long and often very informative telephone conversations that lasted for four years.

In 1996, Crowley told Douglas that he believed him to be the person that should ultimately tell Crowley ‘s story but only after Crowley ‘s death. Douglas, for his part, became so

entranced with some of the material that Crowley began to share with him that he secretly began to record their conversations, later transcribing them word for word, planning to incorporate some, or all, of the material in later publications. In 1998, when Crowley was slated to go into the hospital for exploratory surgery, he had his son, Greg, ship two large foot

lockers of documents to Douglas with the caveat that they were not to be opened until after Crowley ‘s death. These documents, totalled an astonishing 15,000 pages of CIA classified files involving many covert operations, both foreign and domestic, during the Cold War.

While CIA drug running, money-launderings and brutal assassinations are very often strongly rumoured and suspected, it has so far not been possible to actually pin them down but it is

more than possible that the publication of the transcribed and detailed Crowley-Douglas conversations will do a great deal towards accomplishing this.

These many transcribed conversations are relatively short because Crowley was a man who tired easily but they make excellent reading. There is an interesting admixture of shocking revelations on the part of the retired CIA official and often rampant anti-social (and very entertaining) activities on the part of Douglas but readers of this new and on-going series are

gently reminded to always look for the truth in the jest!

 
India could have achieved 3 stage nuclear fuel cycle in 70's only and would have not required to be the part of NSG if foreign powers had not meddled into Indian nuclear program. As per Siegfried Hecker, former director of Los Alamos National Facility , Indian nuclear power program was most ambitious and technically only to be matched by the Soviet nuclear program, way far ahead than American nuclear program.

 

'CIA, ISI encoura ged Sikh terrorism'​

The Richard Nixon administration in the US had initiated a "covert action plan" in collusion with General Yahya Khan's government in Pakistan in 1971 to encourage a separatist movement in Punjab, a former top officer of the Research and Analysis Wing has said.

"This plan envisaged the encouragement of a separatist movement among the Sikhs for an independent state to be called Khalistan. In 1971, one saw the beginning of a joint covert operation by the US intelligence community and Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence to create difficulties for India in Punjab," B Raman, who retired as additional secretary in the Cabinet Secretariat, says in his forthcoming book.

In the book The Kaoboys of R&AW -- Down the Memory Lane that is yet to be published, he said the US interest in Punjab militancy "continued for a little more than a decade and tapered off after the assassination of Indira Gandhi" by two Sikh security guards on October 31, 1984.

Elaborating, Raman said Jagjit Singh Chauhan, a Sikh leader from Punjab, went to the UK and took over the leadership of the defunct Sikh Home Rule movement and renamed it after Khalistan.

The then Pakistani military ruler Yahya Khan invited Chauhan to Pakistan, "lionised" him as a leader of Sikhs and handed over some Sikh holy relics kept in Pakistan, which Chauhan took to the UK to win a following in the Sikh diaspora.

Chauhan also went to New York, met officials of the United Nations and some American journalists and alleged human rights violations of Sikhs in India.

"These meetings were discreetly organised by officials of the US National Security Council Secretariat then headed by (Henry) Kissinger," the former R&AW officer says.

"With American and Pakistani encouragement, the activities of Chauhan continued till 1977. After the defeat of Indira Gandhi in the elections in 1977 and the coming to power of a government headed by Morarji Desai, Chauhan abruptly called off his so-called Khalistan movement and returned to India," writes Raman.

Observing that foreign intelligence agencies were not helpful in providing information on Sikh extremist activities in their respective countries, he says the political leadership of western countries like the UK, the US and Canada, which has sizeable Sikh population, did not want to antagonise them by cooperating with the Indian government against the Khalistanis.

Giving an example of "non-cooperation", he refers to the authorities in the then West Germany.

He says Talwinder Singh Parmar of Babbar Khalsa, a sacked sawmill worker in Vancouver in Canada who was wanted in several cases in India like the Nirankari massacre and had been making "threatening" statements against Indira Gandhi, was arrested while travelling from Zurich to West Germany following an INTERPOL alert.

The German authorities not only did not hand him over to a CBI team, which had rushed to Bonn to take him into custody, but sent him back to Vancouver.

Two years later, Parmar played an active role in the conspiracy, which led to the blowing up of the Air India plane 'Kanishka' killing over 300 passengers, the retired R&AW official says adding, "the West German authorities cannot escape a major share of responsibility for this colossal tragedy."

On the storming of the Golden Temple in June 3-6, 1984, Raman writes that as Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and his followers started gathering arms inside the complex and a spurt in terrorist incidents was witnessed across the country, there was "panic" in the government when trans-border sources of IB and R&AW reported that ISI was infiltrating Pakistani ex-servicemen and some serving Pakistani armymen into Punjab.

However, these IB and R&AW reports were later proved wrong, he says.

But the "alarm" led Indira Gandhi to frantically find a political solution and to use Akali Dal leaders to pursuade Bhindranwale to vacate the temple.

"Rajiv Gandhi and two of his associates held a number of secret meetings with Akali leaders in a New Delhi guest house of the R&AW. I was given the task of making arrangements for these meetings, recording the discussions, transcribing them and putting up the transcripts to (Rameshwar Nath) Kao for briefing Indira Gandhi," Raman said.

Kao was then the senior advisor to the prime minister.

Maintaining that the talks failed to persuade Akali leaders to see reason and cooperate with the government, he said, "The transcripts, which were kept in the top secret archives of the R&AW, were very valuable records of historic value.

"They showed how earnestly Indira Gandhi tried to avoid having to send the Army into the Golden Temple," he said.

Raman also elaborated on the pros and cons of the army raid, called Operation Blue Star, its impact on the sentiments of the armymen as well as the Sikhs.

The "lingering hurt" aggravated the Khalistani trouble and finally led to the killings of Indira Gandhi and then army chief Gen A S Vaidya.

American NGOs behind Koodankulam anti-nuclear energy protest: PM

Foreign hand nuking Tamil Nadu nuclear power project, says Prime Minister Manmohan Singh


Prime Minister Manmohan Singh blames NGOs, often funded from the United States and Scandinavian countries, for spearheading the anti-Koodankulam stir.

Taking a leaf out of Indira Gandhi's book, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has exhumed the "foreign hand" bogey blaming it for putting the brakes on both the Koodankulam nuclear power project in Tamil Nadu and the commercialisation of GM food crops.

Going ballistic against people's groups in an interview which will appear in the journal Science on Friday, Singh alleged that NGOs opposed to the nuclear power project were funded by foreign countries.

In the 1970s, Indira Gandhi used to conveniently blame the "foreign hand" for all ills plaguing her tenure as Prime Minister. She even justified the imposition of Emergency on this pretext.

While never actually identifying the foreign hand, the country she was mostly pointing the finger at was America. In fact, Congressmen - even under her son Rajiv - targeted the CIA for every campaign against them and for nearly every failure to control law and order.

In the UPA government, however, this is the first time that the highest authority has raised the issue of "foreign money" propelling domestic movements and has cast aspersions on civil society groups opposed to the nuclear plant. Till now, such allegations had been flung only by relatively junior functionaries in the government.

This is also the first time that the government has named the US and Scandinavian countries as the source of foreign funding of NGOs behind the antinuclear stir in Tamil Nadu and anti-GM movement in different parts of the country.


Virtually declaring a war on civil society activists, Singh said: "The atomic energy programme has run into difficulties because these NGOs, mostly I think based in the United States, don't appreciate the need for our country to increase energy supply."

The PM was alluding to the stalled commissioning of the 1,000-MW, Russian-aided Kudankulam nuclear power plant.

Continuing his scathing attack on voluntary bodies for opposing the government's pet projects, the PM observed: "There are NGOs, often funded from the United States and Scandinavian countries, which are not fully appreciative of the development challenges that our country faces."

Singh backed his government's resolve to develop nuclear power as well as biotechnology in India, despite the opposition from various quarters.

He said he saw a major role for nuclear energy even after the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan in March 2011. "The thinking segment of our population is certainly supportive of nuclear energy," the Prime Minister was quoted as saying in the interview. The journal is published by the American Association for Advancement of Science.

Till now the tirade against NGOs was led by minister of state in PMO V. Narayansamy, who recently alleged that civil society groups behind the Kudankulam agitation had received foreign funding. But when S. P. Udayakumar - the man spearheading the agitation - slapped a legal notice on the minister, he backtracked.

Will he now sue the Prime Minister because he had made similar noises? Udayakumar, the coordinator of the People's Movement Against Nuclear Energy, said he would consider all options.

"The PM's statement is complete falsehood. We are not funded by any foreign source. The ministry of home affairs knows this because it has audited financial records of scores of NGOs and Church- affiliated organisations in Kanyakumari, Nagercoil and Tuticorin in the past few weeks and found no evidence," Udayakumar pointed out.

"It is surprising why the PM is refusing to acknowledge that the people of this country have a mind of their own," he added. The remarks evoked a sharp response from other members of the civil society as well.

"There isn't an iota of evidence that foreign funding and nationals are instigating the anti-nuclear agitation. It is totally indigenous and has deep roots among the people. The only foreigners in the area are Russian personnel invited by the Nuclear Power Corporation," Praful Bidwai of the Coalition for Nuclear Disarmament and Peace said.

Eminent scientist Dr Pushpa Mittra Bhargava also felt amazed at the statement: "I am surprised the Prime Minister believes that the US will fund NGOs that would oppose nuclear power projects and GM foods. He must surely know that the US has been the biggest supporter of India's investment in nuclear power so that it can sell its reactors - for which there is no market in the US - to India."

In response to a question on the moratorium imposed by his government on the commercial release of GM brinjal, Singh supported biotechnology in agriculture while blaming NGOs for stalling the commercialisation of GM foods.

Anti-GM groups, too, reacted angrily to the diatribe. "Why is promotion of GM technology by foreign agencies not a cause of worry for him? What is scientific or democratic about the government forming a biased opinion about GM technology?" retorted Kavitha Kuruganti of the Coalition Against GM Foods.

She specified that the biggest opposition to GM crops had come from farmers' unions, which were not foreign-funded. "Sadly, the foreign hand in India's domestic policy today is the PM himself," green activist Vandana Shiva said.

"People's movements are trying to prevent farmers' suicides, which are a result of mounting debt linked to costly seeds. We want to promote sustainable agriculture that safeguards the livelihoods of farmers and nutrition of children," she added.

Exuding scepticism, another GM food critic Devinder Sharma said: "It is amusing to hear this talk of foreign funding of NGOs from a PM whose entire economic prescription is based on foreign direct investment. Whether it is GM crops or nuclear plants, the PM is more interested in the commercial interests of American and European companies. He is not concerned about the environmental and human impact of these risky and unwanted technologies on his people."
