Mumbai: Setting aside the lower court order, the Bombay High Court on Monday restored the charges under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) against all the 11 accused in last year’s Malegaon bomb blast case including Sadhvi Pragnya Thakur.
Today’s ruling of the Bombay High Court is a boost to the investigators probing the Malegaon blast case as it comes nearly an year after a Mumbai special court ordered the dropping of charges under the stringent MCOCA.
The MCOCA special court had granted the relief on grounds that the charge-sheet filed against one of the prime accused, Rakesh Dhawade by the police in a matter pertaining to the Jalna court, was not sustainable.
The Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS), Mumbai, had arrested 11 people, including the Sadhvi in connection with the Sep 29, 2008 Malegaon blast which left six dead and 20 injured.
The prominent accused include Sadhvi Pragnya, Chandrapal Singh Thakur, alias Purna Chetnanandagiri, Lt.Col Prasad S. Purohit, a serving Indian Army officer who helped to procure RDX for the blasts, retired Indian Army major Ramesh Upadhyaya, who allegedly trained the conspirators in bomb making techniques; Shymlal Sahu, owner of a mobile phone shop in Bhopal, who allegedly planted the bomb and Rakesh Dhawade, a Pune-based weapons expert, who is accused of helping the conspirators procure weapons.
Terrorism by Hindus cannot be labeled as Hindu terrorism because terrorism is not on the agenda of Hinduism, unlike the Jihadi religion. It can only be called reprisal terrorism because Hindus have been under attack for a long time now. The Government wants to use the case of Sadhvi Pragna to curb the RSS so that Hindus will lack the leadership the RSS offers and then Hindus can be partitioned between Islam and Christianity and Communism and Secularists and Casteists. The RSS must rise to the occasion and say that it will not be cowed down.
