The concept of Hindu
terror is nothing but a political conspiracy against the Sangh and its senior
leaders. The intention of the entire drama is to implicate RSS leaders. This is
not the first time that such allegations are being made.
Swami Aseemanand, accused in the blasts in the
Samjhauta Express, Hyderabad Mecca Masjid and Ajmer Dargah, has alleged that
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat had sanctioned these attacks, reported a magazine.
NIA sources say during probe Aseemanand did not
name any senior RSS leader. ( India
Today Report Feb 6, 2014 )
' The Caravan’, A magazine of Delhi Press Mentioning Aseemanand claimed that the attacks on the Samjhauta Express,
Hyderabad’s Mecca Masjid and Ajmer Dargah, and the blasts in Malegaon in 2006
and 2008, were cleared by the highest levels of the RSS.
Meanwhile, Swamy Aseemanand’s
lawyer also rejected the Caravan report and denied that the interview ever took
place. He has warned a legal action against the magazine.
Swami Aseemanand emphatically denies to have had
any close door meeting with senior leaders of the alleged social organization
i.e. RSS in year 2005 or afterwards. Swami Aseemanand challenges the correspondent to prove the
truth of the allegations or apologize forthwith. Source:

Ganesh Sovani, an advocate for Sadhvi Pragya
Singh Thakur, an accused in the Malegaon case, said, “The ultimate objective of
such probes is to ban the RSS. The Congress through the NIA will do whatever it
takes to get the RSS banned.”
Sushil
Kumar Shinde, Digvijay Singh asked to Bhavesh Patel to Implicate RSS :
Ajmer
Blast Accused Bhavesh Patel alleged that National Investigation Agency was
allowed to probe him inside the Alwar central jail illegally. “I am under
pressure to implicate my co-accused and the NIA has been dictating terms to
me,” he said.
The
accusations have come after he wrote a letter to the CBI saying that he was
pressured by Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde, Congress General Secretary
Digvijay Singh and others to implicate the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh in the
case.
Prior to Patel’s
allegations, two other accused Mukesh Vasani and Raj Singh had accused the NIA
of offering them Rs 1 crore to name RSS leaders in the Sunil Joshi murder case.
Senior advocate and
former state public prosecutor of Karnataka H S Chandramouli said, “The CBI or
any other agency cannot brush aside such allegations. The CBI is likely to
interrogate Narendra Modi’s aide Amit Shah in the Ishrat Jahan encounter case
on the basis of allegations made by jailed IPS officer D G Vanzara. So why
should the same rule of law not apply here? The law mandates that every
allegation be probed.”
Now look at the evidence, first on the blast on Samjhauta Express
from Pakistan in which 68 persons were killed.
LeT culprit, says UN, US
“Qasmani Arif chief coordinator of the relations of [LeT] with
other organizations...has worked with Lashkar-e-Tayyiba to facilitate terrorist
attacks including.....the bombing of February 2007 in the Samjhauta Express in
Panipat (India).” This is what resolution [No 1267] of the Committee on
Sanctions of the United Nations Security Council [UNSC] dated 29.6.2009 declares.
Adding that Qasmani was funded by Dawood Ibrahim and he did fund raising for
LeT and Al-Qaida, the UNSC said: “In exchange for their support, Al-Qaida
provided support staff for the bombing in February 2007 in the Samjhauta
Express in Panipat.” This resolution is available on UN site. The UNSC
& the US Treasury department thus named that LeT, Qasmani and Dawood
Ibrahim as accused in Samjhauta terror. This is just beginning of the torrent
of evidence pointing to LeT and Pakistan.
Pak minister’s confession
Six months after the UN and the US announced sanctions against LeT
and Qasmani, the Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Mallik himself admitted that
Pakistani terrorists were involved in the Samjhauta blast, but with a rider
that “some Pakistan-based Islamists had been hired by Lt Col Purohit to carry
out the Samjhauta Express attack.” [India Today Online 24.1.2010]
Headley involved in Samjhauta – US probe
Not just UN or US Treasury or just the admission of Pakistan’s
interior minister, in fact, independent investigation in US revealed more. Some
ten months later, Sebastian Rotella, a US journalist, wrote in his
investigative report titled, “U.S. agencies were forewarned about suspect in
2008 Mumbai bombings” that Faiza Outalha, the third of wife of David Coleman
Headley had confessed [in 2008, that was made public in 2010] that Headley was
involved in Samjhauta blast.
Narco test pointed to SIMI role
Even at the start of the Samjhauta investigation in 2007 itself
the probe evidence had clearly pointed to the role of Students Islamic Movement
of India [SIMI] and LeT. India Today [19.9.2008] in its report titled ‘Pak hand
in Mumbai train blast’s, Samjhauta Express blasts, says Nagori gave meticulous
account of the involvement of LeT and Pakistan in the Samjhauta terror. The
report was based on narco test testimonies of SIMI leaders. India Today said
that narcotic tests were carried out in Bangalore, in April 2007, three months
after the Samjhauta blast.
it revealed that SIMI activists had executed the Samjhauta blast,
with the help of the Pakistani nationals from across the border; while Nagori
was not directly involved, two members of SIMI Ehtesham Siddiqui and Nasir were
directly involved; SIMI members, including Nagori’s brother Kamaruddin, were
involved in the Samjhatua blast.
Conspiracy by Maharastra police?
Why were these clinching pieces of evidence not pursued? How the
blame shifted from Islamists to Hindus? Some elements in the Maharashtra police
appears to have colluded in linking Malegaon 2008 blast to the Samjhauta blast.
When leads were thus pointing to Pakistan and SIMI as partners in
Samjhauta blast, in November 2008, as an anti climax, the Maharashtra Anti
Terror Squad [ATS] shockingly told the Special Court through the public
prosecutor, that Col Purohit, allegedly involved in the Malegaon blast in which
RDX was used, had supplied RDX for the Samjhauta blast though one ‘Bhagwan’.
[The Indian Express 15.11.2008] within the next 48 hours [17.11.2009] India
Today online refuted the ATS claim saying that Samjhauta investigators had told
India Today that study of the blast carried out by the National Security Guard
said that no RDX, but Pottasium Cholorate and Sulphur had been used as
explosives. The magazine also recalled that immediately after the blasts, then
Home Minister Shivraj Patil told the media that not RDX, but, a ‘new type of
explosive’ had been used to bomb the Samjhauta Express. On that very day
[17.11.2009] the ATS counsel retracted from the statement he had made earlier
involving Col Purohit in the Samjhauta blast. [The Hindu dt19.11.2008]. But
damage was done in the 48 hours. Immediately Pakistan said that it would raise
the issue of Purohit’s involvement in Samjhauta in the Secretaries level
meeting on November 25, 2008. Finally on January 20, 2009, Maharastra ATS
officially denied that Col Purohit had supplied RDX for Samjhauta. This was how
the Samjhauta focus – later the blame – shifted from LeT and SIMI to Purohit
and via Purohit on to saffron.
The Maharashtra ATS attempt to link Malegaon 2008 to Samjhauta
which shifted the focus away from LeT on to Purohit needs to be probed,
particularly given Dawood Ibrahim’s deep influence in Maharastra Police.
If Shinde is telling the truth, then United Nations Security Council and the US Treasury Department are fabricating charges against Qasmani, Dawood and LeT; Faiza Outallah and Washington Post are telling lies to fix LeT and Pakistan; the SIMI officials’ narco evidence is fabricated; and Rehman Mallik’s confession about Pakistani involvement is false. Can it be more ridiculous? It is clearly the lies of Shinde, the vote-bank politician versus all neutral evidence. If this was how the Samjhauta probe was perverted, in Malegaon 2006 blast the Maharashtra ATS has filed a charge sheet where SIMI cadre has confessed to their role in the blast. But the CBI is procuring confessions to exonerate them and implicate others, Hindus in the case. So Malegaon 2006, is becoming a case of confession vs confession! In Malegaon 2008, blasts Col Purohit and his associates have been charged and the evidence produced to the Court shows that the accused in the Malegaon 2008 case were planning to assassinate the RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat and Indresh Kumar for taking money from ISI! [Outlook 19.7.2010] How could the RSS which is the target of the conspirator itself be a conspirator ? Does Shinde know what he is talking ?
The entire episode smacks of a sinister
conspiracy for political gains. We hope that the judiciary would take
cognisance of the matter and conduct an honest and genuine probe.
