We have seen how not only was truth compromised but indeed the national security was heavily damaged with nothing short of collusion of the then government with the corrupt to change the LeT operative's background to show her as an innocent. Since Ishrat Jahan was not just an LeT operative but had been moving along with the three other operatives from city to city spending nights with them, it is not possible that her mother would not have known about her work. She obviously lied.
But more importantly, she got the best shot at furthering the goals of her daughter by getting her nominee - an ISI sympathizer - as the Chief of the very SIT to probe into her daughter's case! And this was at a time when none other than the Home Minister, P. Chidambaram himself had played an active role in sanitizing Ishrat Jahan's background by tampering the second affidavit of September 2009.
In this atmosphere what was media doing? Here are some tweets which are not only backing the concocted stories but also eulogizing the then Home Minister, Chidambaram who actually played the central protagonist in the whole tampering drama.
