Patna: To offer tribute to the former Maharashtra ATS chief Hemant Karkare for his bold step to expose the Sanghi terror for the first time in the country, Chennai-based organization Darul Islam Foundation Trust (DIFT) has instituted ‘Karkare Award’ this year. Former MLA of Bihar Radhakant Yadav, who is fighting in court to remove mystery behind Karkare’s killing, has been chosen for the maiden award.
“Karkare is the most deserving person for the Bharat Ratna due to his tireless efforts to save the country from being Hindu Rashtra throwing the Constitution of India away and install a fascist govt. based on the ideology of saffron groups” said Ghulam Mohammad, Managing Trustee of DIFT, while talking to TwoCircles.net over phone.
“It is Karkare who brought to light the real perpetrators of terrorism in India which claimed many innocent lives and broke the myth of Islamic terrorism. Otherwise after every terror incident Muslims had been easy prey for police and media. His honest investigation not only washed the blot from Muslims but also halted the bomb blast that was taking place frequently,” he added.
“Our organization has decided to institute the ‘Karkare Award’ to salute and honor the bravery, honesty and talents of slain Hemant Karkare. The award will be given every year to different person in the recognition of his/her contribution for the community and the country” he informed.

The award will have a citation and a cash amount. This year the maiden award will be conferred on Veteran fighter for justice, Mr. Radhakant Yadav, ex-MLA of Bihar. The award will be handed over to him in a function to be held on 27th Feb. 2011 in Mannady city of Tamil Nadu.
Notably, Radhakant Yadav is the man who is seeking justice for Karkare's killing through legal battle. He filed Public Interest Litigation Petition (PIL) in the Supreme Court of India and the criminal writ petition in Mumbai High court. He also fought against the atrocities of the emergency days and was imprisoned.
Talking to TwoCircles.net in Patna, Yadav expressed happiness and thanked Darul Islam Foundation for choosing him for the award. He, however, said that what he did is not for award. I am a devoted Gandhian and Lohiaite. And I work to root out fascism.
He said he raised the issue of Karkare as innocent Muslims were being implicated for terror blasts carried out by Hindtuva extremists. “I raised the voice because innocent Muslims were being tortured in the name of terrorism. The community is facing atrocities. The country cannot progress until this trend is not stopped,” he said.
Lauding the effort of Karkare for exposing the real culprits behind terror blasts in the country, three-time MLA from Madhepura constituency in Bihar, Yadav said: Karkare did a great job. He exposed the ugly face and nefarious design of Hindu extremist group Abhinav Bharat. “On the basis of his probe, several disclosures were made about Hindutva terrorism. And now Swami Aseemanand has confessed his role and involvement of Hindutva groups in terror blasts,” said the octogenarian Yadav.
Lambasting RSS, he said: “RSS has two purposes – create and spread hatred against Muslims and sully the image of Gandhi – the great moderate Hindu. They executed blasts to spread hatred against Muslims and this all for a greater purpose – to maintain control of Brahmins on Indian society which they had for last 5000 years. They did it so that Hindus of lower classes did not rise against them, rather they all get united against Muslims.”
