22. Rahim gives final orders

CHAPTER 22

Rahim gives final orders

Rahim was conducting a meeting with his men. He had trained some men and now they were ready to go for action.

Ramin looked at the 20 to 30 men. “I want only men who are ready to sacrifice their lives for Islam. I want to build an army of such men.”

All raised their hands.

One man said, “We are all ready to give our lives for Islam.”

Rahim was happy. “Good. I am very happy to hear that. Blood should flow and bodies should fall in this country. We have to correct the injustice done to Islam.”

Another man said, “Maulasab, tell us what we have to do.”

Rahim said, “Good. One method is to attack the religious centers which will lead to the death of hundreds. The attention of the whole nation will fall on the incident. The feeling of revenge will open in the people on seeing the dead bodies. They will start attacking our minor Muslim community and our religious places. Revenge will open in the minds of Muslims. They will start thinking of Islam and come to support us. You people who fight for Islam will get a base.”

One man agreed. “What you say is correct.”

Rahim continued. “We have our men in all centers already. You people already have a fertile land here in India. There are so many people who will put water to the seeds sown by you. All you have to do was to be at the places shown by us and act like seeds.”

All nodded their heads in agreement.

Rahim said, “Ok. Now your training is over. You may go to the selected places.”

The men left.

Madani is a changed man

Madani opened his eyes. He was in the hospital and a nurse was standing near his bed.

Nurse said happily, “You have survived.”

Madani looked at the nurse. “Thanks.”

Nurse smiled. “You should thank that commando who gave you blood. You are lucky his blood group matched his.”

At that time, Ram entered the room. He approached Madani and asked, “Hallo, my boy. How were you?”

He patted Madani’s back.

Madani was shocked. He had tears in his eyes. “Why did you save me sir?”

Ram smiled. “It is humanity. You have to survive.”

Madani said with feeling, “I am already dead. I died when that Pakistani told me that I am anti-national.”

Ram was shocked. “Tell me why you became anti-national.”

Madani took his hands. “Sir, my eyes were closed by those men. I have realized the mistake I made. I had taken Jihad into my head and deceived my own country. I listened to those badmash Pakistanis. Even Allah will not forgive me.”

Ram said, “Don’t say that. God always gives us a chance to change for the better.”  

Madani had tears in his eyes. “Please let me die. I don’t want to survive any more. That Pakistani terrorist was 100% correct. Anti-nationals like me should not survive.”

Ram looked at him for a while. “I see special qualities in you because you have realized your mistake. Today India needs persons like you to save it. For this purpose, you have to survive.”

Madani’s body was filled with new inspiration. “Tell me what I have to do. I am ready to sacrifice my life for India. I will cut that Pakistani terrorist to pieces.”

Ram patted his head. “Good. I will tell you when the time comes. Madani, you are an Indian. You get back your strength. Then I will give you a job which will make India proud of you.”

Madani placed his hand on Ram’s hand. He looked into Ram’s eyes with the spirit of nationalism opening in him. “I promise I will do whatever you say.”

Ram smiled. “Good.”
