As we have seen, the major force behind TruthofGujarat.com is Mukul Sinha. He is the lawyer of Javed Sheikh, who along with Ishrat Jahan was killed on 15 June 2004 with 2 other Pakistani terrorists.
TruthofGujarat ofcourse has always tried to frame Narendra Modi and Amit Shah in this Ishrat Jahan 'fake' encounter case.
On 15 June 2004, 4 suspected terrorists were
gunned down on the outskirts of Ahmedabad. They included 19 year old Ishrat
Jahan and 3 other men, 2 of whom were Pakistani nationals. After that,
(as expected) the Leftist liberals in the media started claiming that the
encounter was fake and 19-year old Ishrat Jahan was 'innocent' without any
evidence to it. Their hatred for Narendra Modi is so much that they simply
cannot digest the fact that a 19 year old girl attacked and tried to kill
Narendra Modi, and would rather claim that the opposite is true. This howling
lasted for a few days. 1 day the Marathi edition of The Indian Express, Loksatta
reported on 14 July 2004 headlined: "Yes, Ishrat indeed was a
terrorist". The next day Lashkar-e-Toiba admitted on 15 July that Ishrat
was indeed its member.
What the confession said was: “In a news report published in Lahore-based Ghazwa Times , mouthpiece of the LeT, Lashkar said "the veil of Ishrat Jehan, a woman activist of LeT, was removed by Indian police and her body was kept with other mujahideens (terrorists) on the ground."
"Ishrat was
with her husband, sitting on the front seat of the car," said the
newspaper report published in the Jamat-ul-Dawa website, the new name of
Markaz-ad-Dawa Wal Arshad (parent organisation of the LeT), which was changed
after the US banned it in 2002.
Besides Ishrat from Mumbra in Mumbai, others
killed were Javed Sheikh of Pune, Jishan Johar alias Abdul Ghani from
Gujranwala (Pakistan) and Amjad Ali Akbarali Rana alias Salim of Haveli Diwan
(Pakistan).
The killing of Ishrat sparked a major debate
with some groups claiming her to be innocent. However, the findings of the
Gujarat and Mumbai
police had pointed to her involvement in militant and anti-national activities.
What
“TruthofGujarat” (in reality “Terrorists’Lawyers’Mouthpiece”) writer Mukul
Sinha says:
“In this case, there is absolutely no
connection of Ishrat with any dubious outfit and same is the case with Javed Sheikh
also. Other two guys were from Kashmir but no conclusive proof is available
to link them with any terror outfit. But there were intelligence inputs that
said these people were terrorists. Even the CBI charge sheet acknowledges at
least one of them was a terrorist. The most shocking part of all these fake
encounters is that a few rogue officials of the intelligence establishment
played a vital role in facilitating these extra judicial killings. Rajinder
Kumar’s role in crucial.”

In June 2004 itself, not only the
Gujarat Police, but even the Mumbai Police (which works under Congress in
Maharashtra) also said that there were sufficient leads to know Ishrat Jahan's
LeT links. Note the line in The
Indian Express' report of 15 July 2004: "However, Gujarat and Mumbai police had said there were sufficient leads
to suspect her involvement in militant activities".
Then the SIT
was asked to probe this case, and it is reported to have said in 2011 that the
encounter was fake, without knowing what it said about whether the people were
terrorists or not. But The Times of India reported on 24 October 2011
that the SIT agreed that all 4, including Ishrat Jahan indeed had terror links.
But the Ex-Home Secretary during the
Congress-UPA rule is on record saying that that Ishrat Jahan is indeed a
Terrorist, the day after the SIT was reported to have said that the encounter
was fake.

But former IB chief A K Doval said that the UPA put tremendous pressure on SIT to call the encounter fake! http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/former-ib-chief-centre-pressure-sit-officers-influence-probe-ishrat-jahan-case/1/286850.html
In 2009 the Centre's (UPAs) affidavit to Gujarat
HC was full of contradictions and confusing. But the UPA said in an affidavit that Ishrat was a terrorist indeed!
In 2010 David Headley
also admitted that Ishrat was Lashkar's terrorist.
(In between, in
2007, the Lashkar-e-Toiba 'retracted' its confession! On May 2, 2007, the
Jama't-ud-Da'wah carried an apology to Ishrat's family on its website. The
apology was by its spokesperson Abdulla Muntazir on the internet edition of the
paper saying he was on leave when this admission was published and called it a
"journalistic mistake by my staff". Apologising to her family and all
Indian Muslims, he wrote, "It has now been proven that Ishrat Jahan was
not a member of Lashkar-e-Toiba and she was an innocent Muslim girl who was
murdered by the Modi Sarkar." What took the Lashkar three years to make
the amendment is not explained.
The timing of the apology was significant. It came just before Gopinath Pillai, father of Javed Sheikh alias Pranesh Pillai who was killed along with Ishrat, filed a petition in the Supreme Court, demanding a CBI probe into the encounter. This shows that they were all indeed linked to LeT, with LeT withdrawing its confession just before his father filed a case.
Of course, it is common sense that you cannot acquit a criminal after he has confessed, and takes 3 years to retract his confession. The confession of 2004 was very accurate providing details that Ishrat was married to one of the 3 others in the car and was sitting with her husband which shows that LeT's confession was very true. Also, the excuse given in the 'retracting of confession' that 'I was on leave that day and it was a journalistic mistake' is rubbish. If that was the case, it would have been retracted within 1-2 days, it doesn't take 3 years to make correction to a mistake. The LeT retracted when it understood that it will be easier to put Narendra Modi in difficulty by accusing his government of murdering an 'innocent' girl rather than confessing that she was their terrorist. No one can, anyway, acquit a criminal after he has confessed. In 2004, when the Leftist-liberals were howling against Narendra Modi, there was absolutely no reason for LeT to falsely confess Ishrat as its member).

It is absolutely clear that Ishrat Jahan was a terrorist,
since the UPA Government said this in a signed affidavit. It is absolutely
impossible that the UPA Government would falsely call an 'innocent' Muslim girl
as a 'terrorist' in 2009 that too in case of its bitter enemy Narendra Modi.
Let us look at the contradictory statements made by the relatives of the terrorists.
Let us see what her mother said on 18 June 2004:
“Answering questions
by mediapersons, Ms. Shamima denied reports in a section of the Mumbai press
that Ishrat had twice left her house without the knowledge of the family
members. She
also contradicted her earlier statement that the family members were unaware
about her whereabouts when she left home on June 12 morning. She
claimed that Ishrat had left Thane to go to Mumbai to appear in an
"interview." Ms. Shamima disagreed that she suspected her
daughter's involvement with Javed, driver of the car carrying the four from
Mumbai to Ahmedabad. Neither Javed nor the two other alleged terrorists who the
police claimed hailed from Pakistan, had ever come to her place. She
denied that Javed and Ishrat were ever trailed by the intelligence personnel in
the past as reported in a section of the press.”

What her mother said
later was different. In her petition to the Gujarat High Court, Ishrat's mother
Shamima Kausar had disputed the version of the Gujarat police as well as the
Centre, claiming that her daughter was a
saleswoman working for Javed Sheikh who dealt in perfumes. Javed's father
told the SC that his son was innocent and sought a central probe.
Both Gujarat police
and Centre pointed to infirmities in their version. Centre told Gujarat HC that
Javed had been recruited by LeT when he was in Dubai. Gopinath
Pillai had not disclosed criminal cases pending against his son, or the fact
that he had obtained a different passport using his original name even though
the one issued to him was still valid.
The Centre also disputed the claim of Gopinath Pillai, supported by Ishrat's mother, that he was in the business of perfumes and that this required him and Ishrat to travel across the country.

But in 2013 Javed Sheikh’s
father said he went to Gujarat to meet a policeman (no mention of the
perfume business!) His father said Javed had paid her college fees 1 week
before! (But Ishrat's mother told the media on 18 June that Javed didn’t know Ishrat
at all- but Javed's father says he paid her fees! )
http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/ishrat-case-encounter-victim-s-father-says-son-was-in-gujarat-to-meet-cop-390046
Mukul Sinha, lawyer of Gopinath i.e. father of Javed, said the killings were part of a conspiracy and claimed Javed had no links with terror activities. How naïve he thinks we are!
So- her mother first says that she did not know
Javed. Then she says she knew Javed and worked under him for a perfume
business. First she says she went away from home to give an ‘interview’. Then
she said she went away from home for job requirements of a ‘perfume business’.
Anyone with an iota of common sense will know that this shows that her mother
fully knew that her daughter was a terrorist and was fully involved with her.
How naïve can one be to not see through such cunning claims? The so-called
‘perfume business’ turned out to be non-existent later!
In June 2004 Police
called the statements made by Ishrat's mother, Shamima Raza, before the media
after taking her daughter's body to Mumbra in Thane, a "lie". What
she revealed before the Ahmedabad police during questioning corroborated some
of the facts mentioned in the diary.
She had told police
that Javed lived in Mumbra for about three years in the late 1990s during which
time they had "family relations."

agrees that Ishrat Jahan disappeared from her house on June 12. Her mother
Shamima Jahan Sheikh says she kept quiet
about her daughter going missing because she didn't want a scandal. This is
understandable enough (although some parents might have consulted the authorities to make sure that a child was
safe, scandal be damned). But it begs the question: what was Ishrat Jahan doing
between June 12, when she disappeared from her mother's house, and June 15,
when she was shot in the company of alleged terrorists?
One theory doing the
rounds is that the young lady was kidnapped by the Gujarat police for use in
their 'false encounter.'
Let us assume for
argument's sake that the Gujarat police wanted dead bodies to file a charge of
an 'encounter.'
Why on earth would they choose a completely unknown girl from Thane as a
victim? I am sure there are other, far more likely candidates, grown
men with a known criminal background, in Gujarat itself. The Gujarat police
could have plausibly chosen any of them and there would have been nary a
murmur.
http://www.rediff.com/news/2004/jul/01flip.htmOnly such people can exhaust all resources in attacking Intelligence Bureau, and defending such terrorists against whom there is a truckload of evidence in public domain itself. Lawyers of terrorists running LiarsofGujarat!
