Malegaon blast: BJP, RSS attack Congress, UPA for coining 'saffron terror', defaming patriots

[knight11]

Zee Media Bureau
New Delhi: A war of words has begun between the ruling BJP and the Congress with the former blaming the latter of falsely implicating saints like Sadhvi Pragya in the Malegaon blast case, while the latter hitting back, saying the Centre was trying to save the accused.

Asserting that there should be no interference at any level in the handling of the Malegaon blast case, the Centre on Friday accused the former UPA regime of coining slogans like 'Hindu-terror and saffron terror' which tarnished the entire community.

"We found earlier that the UPA government has pressurised and influenced certain government on the basis of political motivated campaign by coining wrongful slogans like Hindu-terror or saffron terror which tarnished the whole community," Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju was quoted as saying by the ANI.

Rijiju added that the Congress had by giving a communal tinge to the entire issue managed to take the case into one direction which was a strong religion connotation and has 'done a lot of damage to the country'.

"What our government is doing is that the investigative agencies have been given absolutely freedom to take action on the basis of available circumstances and evidences and as per the direction of the court," Rijiju said.

Reacting to the development, RSS leader Indresh Kumar said, ''It was all a planned conspiracy to defame patriots.''

2008 Malegaon blast: NIA gives clean chit to Sadhvi Pragya, drops MCOCA charges against others too


Meanwhile, noted lawyer M Jethmalani said, ''Evidence against Sadhvi Pragya were far short of implicating her, we were certain there was no case against her.''

Earlier today, the NIA gave a clean chit and removed Sadhvi Pragnya Singh Thakur and five others from the list of the accused in the September 2008 Malegaon blasts case, paving the way for their early release from prison.

The Sadhvi's lawyer Sanjiv Punalekar said that the NIA decided to drop charges against her under the dreaded Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) due to lack of sufficient evidence.

The NIA has also decided to drop MCOCA charges against all the accused, he added.

The anti-terror agency later filed a chargesheet in the case in a special court.

On September 29, 2008, two bombs planted on motorcycles exploded in Malegaon town, Nashik district, killing seven and injuring 80 others. It was later touted as the first terror case involving the hitherto unknown "Hindu extremists".

Its a shame that Col Purohit was born in India.

Had such a character were born across the border and done the same thing against India then he would have been living a comfortable and secured life just like Hafiz Saeed.

It can be quiet easily be rubbished considering there is absolutely zero evidence to support the theory. If there was he would have been charged and convicted long time ago...

Well that's the failing of investigative agencies to collect evidences against the culprits but that doesn't wash off the fact that there was constant tinkering with the evidences and witnesses so as to derail the case... I've listed a few below

As muslims in the eyes of Bharat and the Indian government heirarcy we are second class or third class citizens. Prosecution of hindu terrorists is still a difficult matter even though the man who killed Gandhi was an RSS member. It is a nation where modi becomes PM and Afzal guru is hanged.

I thought there was much to learn from India's model of secularism. But in reality it is as flawed and problematic as any other system in the world

I love the amount of Butthurt here.Literally!
This is not Congress where you can get away with tarnishing Hindus.
Just remember the day Hindus say enough is enough.
Then that
Will be the day,Every hater will be paid in the same coin.
Don't count on your numbers,when compared globally its still 2 Billion vs 1 Billion, Are you ready to undertake that fight or commit is the question.
But when you do Commit, 1:2 Hardly matters, it is not 1: 1000 just 1:2.

They failed to collect evidences because there is none, for 8 years they tried and they found zilch, your constant desperation to prove Hindutva terrorism is disgusting.

Prashant Bhushan ..... seriously ??

[Awesome Indian]

UPA's saffron terror theory fell flat....there is no evidence of col. Purohit or sadhvi pragya in that terrorist attack..Even US and UN consider it to be work of Pakistan based LET.. Then Why Congress was crying about saffron terrorism?

Question should be asked when several hundered thousands kashmiri pandit are drove out from their homeland in kashmir, didn't produce the terrorist to take revenge, then why was Safron Terror Ghost was created -- to gain the sympathy or the vote of the terrorized muslim person.
