Terrorist RSS ?

[Dr sim]

JAIPUR: The Rajasthan police has named senior RSS functionary, Indresh Kumar, as one of the key conspirators in the 2007 terror attack on the Ajmer dargah that killed three people. Kumar, who is based in Varanasi, was named in the chargesheet filed by the Rajasthan anti-terrorism squad (ATS) in the court of Ajmer's additional chief judicial magistrate Jagendra Kumar Jain on Friday.

Though the 806-page chargesheet said five people associated with a militant Hindu group were accused, Kumar was not accused and the RSS itself was not described as directly linked to the conspiracy. The police are yet to say if they plan to arrest Kumar anytime soon.

Kumar denied the charges and called them a ploy to tarnish his image. "It is a political conspiracy against me. Investigating agencies have been misused. The present government protects the traitors and wages a war against patriots. I will fight this injustice in court," Kumar said.

RSS too reacted angrily. ''We reject media reports that claim the name of Indresh Kumar, a senior functionary from New Delhi, features in the Ajmer dargah blast chargesheet,'' RSS spokesman Ram Madhav said.

ATS said a secret meeting was held in Room No. 26 of the guesthouse of Gujarati Samaj near MI Road on October 31, 2005 and that it was attended by Indresh Kumar, Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, Sunil Joshi, Ramji Kalsangra, Devendra Gupta, Lokesh Sharma and Sandeep Dange. Pragya is in jail, accused of taking part in the Malegaon terror attack. During the meeting, ATS claimed, Indresh Kumar suggested other members attach themselves to some religious organization so that they could carry out their plan successfully without being suspected.

Meanwhile, sources said charges against Kumar and Pragya Singh were not strong and that neither has been named as an accused in the case. ''ATS is still investigating the case and once it is able to corroborate the involvement of other members present in the meeting, the names can be included in the FIR,'' said an official. The accused in the chargesheet — Devendra Gupta, allegedly linked to Abhinav Bharat, Lokesh Sharma and Chandra Shekhar have been charged under various sections of IPC including 302, 307, 120B, 295 and others. Two other accused, Sandeep Dange and Ramji Kalsangre, are on the run while another accused Sunil Joshi died two months after the Ajmer blast. The court fixed October 26 for arguments on the chargesheet.

The chargesheet stated that the responsibility of carrying out blasts at several places including Ajmer dargah, Mecca masjid in Hyderabad and Malegaon was fixed at the secret meeting. Sunil Joshi was to carry out the bomb blasts, Lokesh Sharma and Ramji Kalsangra were to do recces and procure weapons and explosives and Devendra Gupta was tasked with organizing mobile phones and SIM cards with fake identity cards while Sandeep Dange and Sunil Joshi were to collect funds.

It is also said that the dargah blast was not an act of any particular terrorist organization but the accused had formed their gang to execute the blast. The chargesheet claimed that Jai Vande Matram, an organization founded by Joshi to hit back at Muslim terror groups operating in the country, planned and executed the Ajmer dargah blast on October 11, 2007.

While Joshi was killed near Mhow in Madhya Pradesh two months after the blast, Devendra Gupta was arrested in April 2010 when he had come to meet his family in Ajmer. ATS had arrested Chandra Shekhar from Madhya Pradesh.

I think India should put an end to HYPOCRISY and before asking Pakistan to label LET as terrorist organization , should label RSS as one first.

 

[PakSher]

RSS assasinated Gandhi and has been involved in terrorist activities for 100 years even before India became independent. We need to expose this threat to the World and United Nations.

I will agree to you if they have been doing this regularly and most people involved. Right now what we have is few people alleged and nothing is proven so far. So I will wait for that, right now I do not think we have any eveidence to prove that they are involved in terorrism.

Additionally LET is world level terrorist organisation, RSS can be compared to some little known terrorist organisation max.

Rahul was not wrong in comparing RSS with SIMI: Digvijay Singh​

Press Trust Of India

Bhopal, October 14, 2010

Congress General Secretary Digvijay Singh today said Rahul Gandhi did not do any wrong by comparing RSS with banned terror outfit SIMI. "When Rahul compared the two organisations he had merely said that they had almost same ideologies," Singh told reporters here. He said there were a number of instances of RSS activists being involved in terrorist activities like blasts at various places in the country.

The first instance of making bombs by Hindu right wing organisation Vishwa Hindu Parishad had come to light in Neemuch in 1992 when BJP was in power in Madhya Pradesh.

Singh said when he was Chief Minister of the state, he had presented proof of involvement of SIMI and Bajrang Dal in terrorist activities to the then BJP-led NDA government.

"The government had accepted the proofs about SIMI but did not do anything about the proofs given with regard to Bajrang Dal," he said.

RSS and Bajrang Dal both enjoying state protection, it seems.
What is stopping Congress to validate thier instance now?

Double speak is the character of Indian politics.

Is this what we call "divine coincidence". ??

Chota Maharaj does a foot-in-the-mouth act few days ago comparing a nationalist organisation with a terrorist organisation for which he was widely condemned and now withing few days RSS leader chargesheeted and everyone harping Yuvraj is vindicated.

Lol..what a pathetic act from the congress for some Minority vote in Bihar elections.?

Radical Hinduism may still emerge from the woodwork​

R Jagannathan | Thursday, October 21, 2010

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said the other day that Hinduism and terror do not go together. He may be right — and wrong. It all depends on which Hinduism one is talking about. While the broad approach of the aam Hindu is to live and let live, Hinduism is constantly changing and new forms are being created in response to the challenges the environment throws up.

Historically, Hinduism has been ever-changing. Jainism and Buddhism provided the earliest counter-views to Vedic Hinduism.

This is why during the Upanishadic period, Hinduism metamorphosed into something else. By the time Shankara arrived on the scene, Hinduism had been reinvented. The important critiques of Buddhism find a place in the Bhagavad Gita.

With the advent of Islam — whose impact was felt most in the north-west of India — Hinduism faced a new challenge, and this gave rise to Guru Nanak and early Sikhism. By the time of the 10th Guru, Sikhism had developed its own strong identity as it took elements from Islam and Hinduism to meet the challenges of its time. The bottomline: religions borrow ideas from rival religions to strengthen themselves. Aggressive Sikhism branched off into a new religion after starting out as a reform movement in Hinduism. Ambedkar’s neo-Buddhism is quite different from the middle path rationalism the Buddha preached.

This brings us to Bhagwat’s comment that Hinduism and terror are incompatible. This is true to the extent that the idea is unlikely to appeal to old style Hindus. But one cannot say the same for younger groups who may be vulnerable to more radical forms of action just as some Muslim youths are attracted to al Qaeda or Lashkar ideology. The secular cabal in India paints the RSS as a radical Hindu nationalist outfit, but don’t be surprised if even more radical outfits emerge to appeal to younger Hindus. Given the social ferment brought on by globalisation, India is ripe for radicalisation — as is evident in the growth of the Maoist movement in some states.

It is also worth harking back to the Ayodhya movement of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Communal mobilisation was the goal, but the movement also tapped into the social discontent of
disempowered segments. One would have expected a communal movement to be led by the upper castes, but Ayodhya enabled the OBCs to emerge upfront: Kalyan Singh, Uma Bharati, Vinay Katiyar, and Sadhvi Rithambara were all OBCs. The BJP’s biggest mascot — Narendra Modi — is also an OBC. The mass nature of mobilisation enabled previously disempowered groups — women, for example — out of their confines. Once women tasted street power, it was impossible to send them back to the kitchen without acknowledging their changed status. Women may be nowhere near challenging male domination completely as yet, but Ayodhya was an important turning point for non-upper class women.

At any point of time there are many Hinduisms contending for market share. So when Bhagwat says the term Hindu terrorism is an oxymoron, he is right only if he is referring to traditional and conservative Hinduism. But there are other Hinduisms waiting to emerge from the woodwork, and for some of them terror is not a strict no-no. Veer Savarkar’s version of Hindutva, for example, is a virile ideology that some groups have internalised. Terror is not something unthinkable for these groups. Compared to groups like the Abhinav Bharat, the RSS is practically a moderate force, and the VHP just a wee bit more radical. The new Hindu terror groups are further to the right of the Sangh Parivar, and may not even be a part of its outer fringe.

Will Hindu radicalism ever become a major threat? The answer is probably no, and we can learn why from the failure of the Ayodhya movement to gather momentum after the demolition of December 6, 1992. Two factors led directly to failure. First, 1992 was a turning point for the Indian economy. In the two decades after Ayodhya, broadbased economic growth has spread wealth and income far lower down the social spectrum than ever before. This nipped incipient radicalism in the bud. Second, the Ayodhya movement did not offer a radical social message to take the mass mobilisation forward. The movement created new OBC leaders, but this Hindu mobilisation failed to attract the lower strata of OBCs and had no message whatsoever for Dalits. Radical neo-Buddhism and the BSP brand of mobilisation had a larger appeal for them.

It is the failure of Hindu radicalism that enables the RSS chief to claim that Hindu terror is a misnomer. However, this need not be true forever. The minute religious appeal is combined with a broader social message of empowerment of the lower classes, it may be back in business. As the growth of Naxalism in tribal areas shows, radical ideologies do find purchase with the dispossessed. And India has no shortage of the poor and hungry to build an army of radicals with.

Globalisation generates its own discontents.

Radical Hinduism is an upsurge waiting for the right leader, the right social message and the right opportunity.​
