Social Democratic Party of India

New Delhi: The Social Democratic Party of India, (SDPI), has demanded the arrest of Indresh Kumar, a member of the National Executive Council of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, (RSS), who has been named as chief conspirator in the charge-sheet in the October 2007 Ajmer blast case. The name of former RSS Pracharak from Madhya Pradesh Sunil Joshi, who was killed in broad daylight in Dewas in Madhya Pradesh, has also figured in the charge-sheet filed by the Rajasthan ATS in the Ajmer blast case.
The SDPI national general secretary A. Sayeed in a statement said that since the charge-sheet filed by the Rajasthan Police's Anti-Terrorist Squad, (ATS), in the court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate on October 23 names Indresh Kumar as a conspirator, he should also be made an accused in the case, questioned and arrested forthwith without any delay. He was present when the conspiracy to carry out a blast at the Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti shrine in Ajmer was hatched.
It is pity that ATS has not mentioned the name of RSS because of its clout over the investigating agencies. It is observed that whenever any activist of RSS is involved in blast cases the investigating agencies remain silent which gives it (RSS) ample opportunity to wriggle out unscathed from the tight situation. While in case of Muslims being the accused the agencies are always keen in mentioning even very remote links to any organizations.
Meanwhile, BJP's open rumblings for Indresh Kumar and earlier support for Malegaon blast accused Ms Pragya Thakur and Lt. Col. Purohit together with the links between the blasts at Ajmer shrine and Hyderabad's Makkah Masjid goes to prove beyond doubt its hand-in-glove relationships with the radical Hindutva groups.
It may be pointed here that "disciplined" RSS started derailing from the incident of Mhow, a small town near Indore, when some saffron outfit workers led by late Sunil Joshi executed Nainama murder to avenge chopping off RSS worker's pony. Instead of condemning the incident, a few saffron leaders praised it which ingrained "eye for eye" attitude in many. And thereafter, incidents of retaliation by saffron activists increased and wore even ugly face of terror blasts. As such today Hindu terror is a reality, no matter whether the RSS accepts it or not.
Thus, it would not be out of place to demand re-investigation of all blast cases in the country since 1992 in the light of ATS revelation regarding the involvement of top RSS leaders in Ajmer blast case. Furthermore, the Central and concerned state governments should immediately release all the innocent Muslim youths who have been jailed in those blast cases and provide adequate compensation to them
