those who complained about the involvement of NHRC regarding the recent encounter in Delhi, read below. This shows why we need an agency like NHRC to promote accountability and fairness before law.

The arrest of Hindu activists in connection with the Malegaon blast has put several investigating agencies on rewind mode. If the revelations by Lieutenant Colonel Srikant Purohit are to be believed then several bomb blasts in the country need to be reinvestigated.

MI stint helped organise blast, says Lt Col in narco test

Purohit, who was subject to a narco analysis test in Bengaluru [Images], made startling revelations in which he claimed that self-proclaimed religious leader, Swami Amritanand Saraswati also known as Dayanand Pandey had masterminded both the Nanded as well as the Ajmer blasts.

Purohit was arrested by the Mumbai Anti Terrorist Squad for his alleged role in the Malegaon blast.

Sadhvi's father: 'Pragya's innocent'

Purohit claimed during the test that Pandey had taken his help to set up a terror wing. He further revealed that Pandey had introduced him to another accused Sadvi Pragya Singh. While introducing him to the Sadhvi, Pandey had asked Purohit that he should provide logistic support to carry out terror attacks in various places.

Purohit said during the test that Pandey had set up a terror wing with 800 men and he asked Purohit to help in the training process. He said the men were being trained to execute terror strikes in different parts of the country. Purohit said during the test that the idea was to give a fitting reply to organisations such as the Students Islamic Movement of India and also create a sense of fear among Islamic outfits responsible for spreading terror.

'You can't plan Malegaon blast in one day'

He further said that Pandey ran an ashram in Ahmedabad [Images] and provided shelter to several anti-social elements. These persons were used to carry out terror strikes in the country. He also gave information on the source of the explosives and also the funding for the terror strikes (source not mentioned as it would hamper investigation).

During the narco-analysis test, the investigators got a lot of vital information from Purohit and it was based on these results that the ATS managed to nab Pandey from Kanpur.

my intial reaction was that of shock...but then i felt maybe we should not be that surprised at all...
It was 1992 when mass radical hinduism really came into the forefront but no proactive action was taken to limit mushrooming smaller radical  hindu organisations and most of the resources where spent on  scrutinising muslim radical organisations..so its been more than 15 years  since then , something like this was bound to happen ...specially over the last decade or so when many frontline  politicians (mostly from BJP/VHP/SS) tried to create a popular mindset that muslim radicals are the cause for most of the trouble across the country.

the vhp has been calling for an election ticket for the sadhvi

look at the way the same things that muslims & muslim outfits have been accused of are being practiced by the same people who accused them in the first place.

They invariably complained about any human rights issues when muslim terrorism was involved, but now are pulling in NHRC into it. They are trying to say there is no such things called " hindu terrorism".

I just hope hindus see thru this duplicity and teach them a lesson. Most surprisingly, many educated people I know do not see thru it and they have situational justice, so Modi's divisive politics are ok, but Raj Thackrey's divisive politics in mumbai are not ok. Muslim terrorism somehow makes all muslims criminals, but hindu terrorism is only an angry reaction and not all hindus are to be blamed.

For God's sake, it is really very simple. All political parties are out carve out their niche vote banks by dividing people along cate, religion & regional basis. Politicians do not want you to be INDIAN, they want you to be a hindu, a telugu, a marathi, a muslims before being an Indian. Be it Modi or Thackrey or mayavati or laloo, the core, the strategy is the same, divide people and play on their emotions. I am surprised so many educated fall for this and become emotional about a lot of things that politicians bring up.

True.  And I agree that there are people who should have known better who fall for these strategies. I would also point out a difference between Modi / BJP and the Thakrey, even though they have both practised despicable methods. There are people who admire Modi/BJP for a (well demonstrated) better administration, even though they are acutely aware of the problems he brings. Many such people will even vote for them, hoping that
this side will not show up.
