State's softness on Bajrang Dal, VHP and allied organisations
1. Two persons including an RSS activist and a former Bajrang Dal activist were killed while allegedly making bombs in Kanpur recently and police recovered explosives, timers and other devices from the room, but it didn't make much of a news.Except a few papers, none took notice of the trend and also the revelation that they were planning blasts to take revenge on Muslims. There were no follow-ups of the sort of 'links' that we hear in other cases which keep news on front page for days after such incidents.Even media watchdog The Hoot had this to write under the headline: No Followup
Mail Today carried two stories on August 26 and 27 onthe Bajrang Dal bombers, members of the BD who were accidentally killed inKanpur while assembling bombs to mount a terrorist attack. It said policesuspect these were meant for retaliatory attacks for the Ahmedabad blasts. Thesecond story said the bomb- makers of Kanpur seem to be part of a larger networkof terrorists planning a major attack. Amazingly, except for a small insidestory in the Indian Express on August 27, no paper thought this was worth afollow up!Now, is it strange! Not at all.2. In June, Hindu Jagran Manch activists were arrested for bomb blast at a theatre in Thane. The news had again got underplayed. They had confessed that they were involved in similar attempts in the past also.3. In Nanded, the police had even recovered 'Muslim topis (skull caps)' and 'fake beards' during search at the house of Hindutva militants who were responsible for blasts. Again, most newspapers and channels ignored it.4. In Tirunelveli, the police arrested workers of Hindu Munnani for blast at RSS office that was aimed to pit both communities against each other and lead to communal conflagration.5. And there are many more examples. This is not a propaganda blog, which is aimed to highlight such things. But I am really disturbed by the tendency to take any Muslim as suspect and brand him as terrorist, with lawyers not ready to take up their cases and then throw him in jail, but ignore any other offender or probe his involvement especially if the person belongs to RSS, VHP, BD, at all.I discussed it with a journalist friend (non-Muslim) and despite his secular views, he was adamant that Hindus can't be involved in such activities. I truly understand now why the police wouldn't think the same.But this is the root of the problem. Flashback 1992. The Babri Masjid was demolished. It was a terrorist act and most Hindus were also unhappy with this development. We all know what happened after that.PV Narsimharao's Congress government instantly decided to ban five organisations including RSS, VHP, Bajrang Dal along with Jamat-e-Islami and ISS. Though it was very clear that Jamaat-e-Islami and ISS (Abdul Nasser Madani's Islamic Sevak Sangh) were not involved in the demolition.But the message was that it was a sort of 'balance' that three Hindu organisations were banned so two Muslim bodies had also to face a similar situation. At least, Jamat-e-Islami had no reason to be banned.But those involved in Kar Seva and demolition were never booked under any stringent provision of IPC and were let off. Kalyan Singh mocked Indian judicial system when he was awarded a day's sentence and almost became a hero rather a culprit.Clearly, the state was being soft on Hindutva oraganisations. The organisations had tasted blood. However, the situation didn't change in the years to come. For extremely provocative statements the leaders like Pravin Togadia and Bal Thackeray were never booked and when their cadre went on rampage nothing happened but Muslim leaders like Madani were thrown into jail and ordinary Muslim youths were framed and booked under TADA and POTA.In state after state, in small districts, towns and villages, (just like Gujarat or in Orissa's Kandhamal where the scale is too large), the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal have been involved acts that easily fall in the definition of terrorism. But they are never made to face the law of the land.This is a major issue which our state must deal with, at the earliest. Be harsh on anybody who breaks the law. And if one has any doubt on the kind of treatment that is being meted out to innocent Muslims by a section of biased police, just read the last four issues of Tehelka.My sole submission is that the state must take harshest possible action on Muslims found guilty of any terror activity, but don't let off the other person just because of his faith or the organisation he is allied to.Ban the Bajrang Dal and also the VHP, if the state has guts and if the Congress wants to give a message that it has secular credentials. As a secular party it can't have a 'laddoo' in both hands---appeasing Hindu fundamentalist and Muslim fundamentalists. Ban both SIMI and also the VHP-BD.

Bajrang Dal activists die while making bombs
S.O. News service, Monday, 25 August 2008:Kanpur:
Two bajarangdal leaders were killed while 2 others injured when they were making bombs here in Kanpur as reported by Urdu daily Rashtriya Sahara in its front page. According to Sahara, the blast was so strong that the wall of the room in which the blast occurred collapsed. In other rooms, the walls were damaged. Pieces of glass were strewn everywhere. The bomb blasted in a house in Rajeev Nagar area on Sunday afternoon. According to the report, the police recovered 3 kg lead oxide, 500 g red lead, 1 kg potassium nitrate, 11 country made grenades, several bomb pins, seven timers and batteries from the spot. According to the IG, “The recovery shows that a massive explosion was on the cards. The deceased have been identified as Rajeev Mishra and Bhupinder Singh. While Rajeev is the son of S S Mishra, the landlord of the house, Bhupinder was a resident of Shastri Nagar. Mishra, a retired Kanpur Electric Supply Company employee, lives in the nearby Nankari village. He had rented a few rooms of his house to several students. Rajeev's occupied the room in which the blast took place. As he works in Lucknow, he used to visit the place on Sundays. According to the police, while Bhupinder died on the spot, Rajeev died on his way to hospital. Till last reports came in, the police were conducting a search in Rajeev's residence. Bhupinder's house was found locked. According to a senior police officer, the material found could have been used for several explosions. Of the seven timers recovered, two were attached with batteries with the help of wires. The country made hand grenades recovered were similar to those used by the defence forces. The Urdu daily claimed that Bhupinder singh was a Bajarangdal leader, according to the National convenor of Bajarangdal, Bhupinder Singh was Ex convenor of Bajarangdal but now he was working as activist. After the blast in Bangalore and Ahmedabad, all fingers were pointed towards Muslims. Intelligence along with Media would hide all reports and facts that would point fingers towards the non Muslim communities. In a country which is secular and democratic, true culprits must be caught rather than being stereo typical in their opinions towards Muslims.
*According to a news published in times of india delhi on august 27 under trhe headlinesBANGALORE,GUJARAT LINKS TO KANPUR BLASTS,they twisted the matter and wrote,IM and SIMI are not only terror outfitsusing ammonium nitrate,lead oxide and sulphur to create a deadly mix of explosive for manufactureof powerful bombwith timers.The blastsin the rajeev nagar area of kanpuron sunday which killed two activists of bjrang dalwas causedby the same 9ingredients when a timer device adjustment went wrong.
Times of India after writing this has given its own story to the entire matter.
Point to be noted is the ingredients of bvombs was same.Poinbting that most probably the blasts too were done by the HINDU TERRORIST ORGANISATIONS.
And innocent muslims have been made scapegoats .A similar blast had taken place in Nanded at the time of malegaon blast.False beards and Topis were recovered from the spot.

New Delhi: A senior official of the intelligence community told DNA on Saturday that security agencies are seriously pursuing the possibility of a fringe group within the Bajrang Dal being involved in the bomb blasts in Malegaon on Friday that killed 32 people and injured more than 100.
“They have in the past proved their bomb making abilities,” he said, referring to Nanded, a Sikh pilgrimage centre, where in April this year an accidental bomb blast in a house had killed two Bajrang Dal members — Himanshu Phanse and Naresh Raj Kondwar.
“We recovered Muslim caps and clothes from their houses,” he said.
“A Bajrang Dal group was involved in bombing of a mosque in Parbhani this year and two other mosques in 2003 in Purna and Jalna.” Sources also suspect that Hindu fringe groups were involved in blasts in Aurangabad in 2002
The police hide the matter.
