The latest 'spin' by the Anti Terrorism Squad
of the Maharashtra Police that the Malegon accused have conspired to kill
RSS leaders can be described as a 'self-goal'. In its over-avaricious attempt,
rather on the instructions of its political masters, to paint the Hindu organisations
as 'radical' and 'warring', the ATS has discredited itself further.
The 'political' investigation being carried
out by the ATS for more than a month stands itself exposed due to the 'select'
arrests and 'selective' leakages of its so-called investigations to a 'chosen'
media. The attempted picturisation of the 'Hindu Terror' (Saffron Terror),
points towards a 'high-level' conspiracy, a conspiracy to divide the Hindu
society. The latest salvo that the Malegon blast accused planned to kill RSS
leaders affirms this conspiracy.
The 'credible' things accomplished by the
ATS:
When series of terror attacks on Indian soil
have been perpetrated by Jihadis with the aid of terror outfits based at Pakistan
and Bangladesh and with the abetment of fundamental Jihadi outfits in India,
the ATS suddenly 'decided' to view the September Malegon blast from the perspective
of 'Hindu terror'.
The ATS detained Sadhvi Pragya illegally saying
that her Motor Cycle was used in the blast and subjected her to repeated narco
tests without her consent. She was illegally detained for thirteen days, verbally
abused, physically tortured and mentally pressurised before presenting her
at the Court. The torture has been continuing during the police custody and
finally, she had submitted a sworn affidavit, at the Nashik Court, with full
details of her nerve-racking days at the hands of the ATS.
* Along with her, it also arrested a retired
Army Major Upadhyay and activists by name Ramji and Sameer Kulkarni from Abinav
Bharat.
* Based on the 'confession' of Sadhvi on narco
tests, the ATS arrested Lt. Colonel Purohit saying that he has supplied the
required RDX, not only for Malegon bombs but also for Samjhauta Express, Ajmeer
Dargah and Hyderabad Mecca Masjid blasts. He was accused of pilfering 60 kg
of RDX from the Army godown and put under narco tests. He had also submitted
an affidavit detailing the tortures meted out to him and saying that the ATS
had threatened to liquidate him.
* Based on Purohit's 'confession' Swami Dayanand
Pandey was arrested and he was termed as the mastermind behind the blasts.
He was also subjected to narco test until he went unconscious for more than
four hours.
* Based on the 'confessions' of Swami Dayanand
Pandey, the ATS is now investigating a Delhi based Doctor and a Pune based
person by name S H Apte, for allegedly plotting to kill RSS leaders.
Ironically, at every step and at every leakage of information, the previous
'findings' were either contradicted or denied or conveniently forgotten! Now,
there is no talk about the Sadhvi's motorcycle after it was proved that she
had sold it some four years ago and has no idea of the whereabouts of the
bike. The tall claims on Lt Colonel Purohit pilfering 60 kg of RDX, his involvement
in Samjhauta train and other blasts have been taken back and the 'chosen'
media was blamed for wrongly interpreting the deliberate leaks! Nothing concrete
was found to fix Swami Dayanand Pandey and hence his laptop has been misused
and 'created' & 'uploaded' information was shown again to the 'chosen'
media. As Dayanand Pandey's narco tests have not given any helpful results,
the ATS has come out with a 'new' salvo from a totally different angle. That
is, the 'investigation', which started with blaming RSS as a 'perpetrator'
has now changed track with RSS becoming a 'victim'!
Apart from this, it required the concerted
effort of almost 100 eminent persons from all walks of life to draw the attention
of National Human Rights Commission and National Commission for Women, which
have been totally indifferent to the violation of human rights of Sadhvi Pragya
by the ATS, for the NHRC and NCW are of the opinion that only terrorists and
minorities have human rights and not Hindus.
Prevailing 'scenario' leading to probable
'conspiracy': -
* The Congress Party and its allies have been
losing all the state elections in the last four years one by one and Gujarat
& Karnataka results have landed as bolts from the blues heavily on the
UPA's head.
* The Amarnath issue has shown the UPA government
the real strength of Hindu unity and the subsequent scenario in Karnataka
and Orissa has marked the extension of that strength.
* In the meantime, Jihadi terrorism has been
continuing and Jihadis have been striking at will showcasing the impotency
of the UPA government in dealing with Jihad.
* The much-hyped 'India-US Nuclear Deal' has
been relegated to a point of no return and the UPA has understood that it
would not be an electoral factor to gain votes.
* In a non-conducive environment the UPA has
to face five assembly elections closely followed by the general elections.
In this kind of a scenario, the UPA in general and Congress in particular
needed to 'create' something vital, which could help in achieving three objectives
along with one hidden aim. The three objectives are:
* To divide the Hindu majority, which has
been steadily polarising itself due to theMinority- appeasing and Hindu-hating
policies of the UPA.
* To malign RSS/VHP/BJP and create feuds within
them.
* To win back the confidence of the minority
communities and keep intact their vote bank.
And the 'hidden' aim is, to dilute the fight against Jihad and nullify the
narco-tests, as this government doesn't have the will & courage to fight
against the Jihadi organisations due to its ill-conceived notion that controlling
Jihadi terror would reduce the Muslim votes.
In the absence of a strong anti-terror policy,
the Jihadis are expected to continue their terror activities, as evidenced
by the Tripura and Assam blasts. The UPA government is also aware of it and
especially at the time of elections, it is wary of its fight against terror
and the best way to come out of the terror imbroglio and to force the BJP
to take a back foot will be to create 'Hindu Terror'. The prelude for 'Hindu
Terror' has been written when the 'secular' brigade including the mainstream
media cried from the rooftops about 'Saffron Terror' over Mangalore and Kandhamal.
To create 'Hindu terror', a terror attack in a Congress/UPA governed state
is needed and the Malegon blasts came in handy. As the victims of Malegon
blasts happened to be Muslims, it became conducive to convert the 'saffron
terror' into 'Hindu Terror'. Immediately an ATS was formed and the investigations
have been so hasty that the nation has never seen before! The two-dozen Jihadi
attacks of the last four years have not seen such a 'meticulous' operation
of such a 'meritorious' police squad! The officers in the squad have been
so efficient & capable that they carried out the instructions of the government
then and there and lived up to its expectations! They have been so focused
in their job that they didn't bother to see if the Army is maligned or the
Hindu majority is offended & outraged in the process of their 'political'
investigations. The UPA politicians took the message of 'Hindu Terror' to
all the electoral states and the 'secular' mainstream media spread the awareness
throughout the nation.
Usually, for every terror attack, the intelligence
agencies would be blamed and they were blamed even in the last Assam blasts.
But surprisingly, it was not the case with September Malegon blasts! The Home
Ministry has been conspicuously silent on this. The National Security Advisor,
who had a considerable period of service in the intelligence and had retired
as the Deirector of IB, has been waxing eloquent on terrorism at every opportunity
through the media. He has been involving himself in every issue, from external
affairs to nuclear deal, except national security! Even very recently, he
had warmed the nation through a media interview about the presence of over
'800 jihadi terror modules' throughout the country and at that time, he had
not talked of any 'Hindu terror module'! Will he and the IB Chief tell this
nation how suddenly the 'Hindu terror' came into existence?The intelligence
expertise of the NSA could be gauged from the observation of a former Air
Force Officer, who has said in his blog that, the present NSA was considered
as an 'expert' in 'Sri Lankan Affairs' and that he was at the helm of affairs
controlling the intelligence as Director IB, when Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated
in 1991. One may wonder how he, with such a dismal track record, was appointed
by the Congress (read Sonia) as NSA! But, it is no wonder, he was sent by
the Prime Minister to placate opposition leader L K Advani, who didn't budge
to the PM's attempt over a telephonic conversation.
The after effects of ATS's misadventures: -
* The Hindu organisations, though taken aback
initially, have understood the shenanigans of the ATS and its political masters
and have rallied behind the Malegon accused. The antics of the ATS have brought
together almost all the Hindu organisations with a resolve to throw this government
out of power.
* The Army has called the ATS bluff in regard
to Lt Colonel Purohit's alleged handling of RDX and the Armed Forces, which
have been terribly upset with this government's treatment in the last four
and a half years, have realised the UPA's intentions particularly after Malegon
episode. This government has undoubtedly earned the wrath of the Armed Forces.
* The Hindu majority, which has been watching
the proceedings of the ATS and the campaign of falsehood carried out by the
'secular' mainstream media, has been agitated and outraged.
If the 'conspirators' think that they would achieve their hidden agenda of
diluting the fight against Jihad and nullifying the narco-tests, then they
are totally in the wrong. The BJP might take the politically correct stand
of 'terrorism has no religion'. But, the people are aware that terrorism is
indeed connected with religion and also that there is no place for terror
in Hinduism, the religion of Dharma. So, they will keep fighting along Dharma
and elect a government, which has the will & courage to fight against
jihad. They will demand more ATS and continuance of narco-tests, in addition
to exclusive narco-tests for the present officers in the Maharashtra ATS and
their political masters.
The ATS has caught the tiger by the tail and
it cannot hold it for long. At one point of time it will have to leave the
tiger, which would pounce on not only the ATS but also its political masters.
The result is written on the wall for the conspirators!
