All of a sudden, NIA discovers Purohit's secret letter' against right-wing terror

April 27, 2016

New Delhi, Apr 27: In a fresh twist to the right-wing terror case saga, a 'secret' letter purportedly written by 2008 Malegaon blast accused Lt Colonel Srikant Purohit on October 15, 2008 has fallen into the hands of NIA Investigator. In this, Purohit ironically red flags the emergence of rightwing radical groups to his superiors in Army's Military intelligence wing, warning that this trend could even lead to "communal clashes".

purohith1The letter, which has been accessed by ET, was sent a couple of weeks after the second Malegaon blasts. Here Purohit refers to "An A-2 source", who has "provided some valuable information with regard to the right-wing activities in Maharashtra and Gujarat."

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) said the matter is still under probe but senior officials of the agency believe that the 'input' may have been generated as an "afterthought".

Purohit was arrested by Maharashtra ATS on November 5, 2008 and chargesheeted subsequently along with Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur and nine others. In a twopage letter, Purohit also names senior RSS leader Indresh Kumar and says 'he has established sufficient influence over cadres of ABVP and ex-ABVP radical cadres." Indresh had denied all the allegations.

Under the head 'assessment', Purohit tries to mitigate the damage to RSS and writes, "Subversion in an organization like RSS would facilitate actions like one which took place in Gujarat/Malegaon and would further lead to communal clashes which would in turn facilitate fifth columnist, SIMI/IM activists and supporters to go all out in action oriented activities. It may lead to many separatist movements and blame would go onto organization like RSS."

It further states, "One of such associates( of Indresh)—MrPJoshiwasassassinated in Dewas on 29-30, 2007 by unidentified killers. This individual was supposedly involved in the crude bomb blast in Ajmer Sharif Shrine. When he died/was killed, a ticket to Gujarat was foundonhisbody. Theotherpersonwho is operating in that area is one lady by name of Pragya Singh.

When the authorities tries to HIDE TRUTH & twist TRUTH with LIES, they are inviting more TROUBLES in their investigation.. YOU will surely SEE day by day a new PROBLEMs will ARISE when anybody play with the MINDS of PEOPLE.
Anyway whatever cheddi authorities will play, they will surely get for their DEEDS done in this LIFE ... & will Never Succeed in their DECEPTION games ....
But ALLAH is most merciful and He forgives all SINS except associating partners (idols,stones, animals, saints and so on) with him in WORSHIP...
That is the MERCY of ALLAH for those who REPENT and promise never to commit oppression on people. The door of forgiveness with ALLAH is alwz open and those who recognize their CREATOR - Are the ONES who are Successful here in this LIFE and the life after death....

Look who is ALLAH
What is the purpose of LIFE
What will happen when we DIE..
Unless U know about YOUR creator, U will be in DARKNESS.

Yajurveda 40:9 also tell : They enter DARKNESS those who WoRSHIP natural things. They SINK deeper in DARKNESS those who WORSHIP sambhuti (created things)
THINK and PONDER -- Cheddis are draging U to DARKneSS

In the wake of Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) UN High Commissioner, Michele Bachelet, has filed an intervention in the Supreme Court petition challenging the constitutionality of the Citizenship Amendment Act, as she is critical of CAA. Responding to her, India’s Foreign Minister S. Jai Shanker strongly rebutted her criticism, saying that the body (UNHCR) has been wrong and is blind to the problem of cross border terrorism. The issue on hand is the possibility of scores of people, mainly Muslims, being declared as stateless. The problem at hand is the massive exercise of going through the responses/documents from over 120 crore of Indian population and screening documents, which as seen in Assam, yield result which are far from truthful or necessary.

The issue of CAA has been extensively debated and despite heavy critique of the same by large number of groups and despite the biggest mass opposition ever to any move in Independent India, the Government is determined on going ahead with an exercise which is reminiscent of the dreaded regimes which are sectarian and heartless to its citizens, which have indulged in extinction of large mass of people on grounds of citizenship, race etc. The Foreign minister’s assertion is that it is a matter internal to India, where India’s sovereignty is all that matters! As far as sovereignty is concerned we should be clear that in current times any sovereign power has to consider the need to uphold the citizenship as per the principle of non-discrimination which is stipulated in Art.26 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political (ICCPR) rights.

Can such policies, which affect large number of people and are likely to affect their citizenship be purely regarded as ‘internal’? With the World turning into a global village, some global norms have been formulated during last few decades. The norms relate to Human rights and migrations have been codified. India is also signatory to many such covenants in including ICCPR, which deals with the norms for dealing with refugees from other countries. One is not talking of Chicago speech of Swami Vivekanand, which said that India’s greatness has been in giving shelter to people from different parts of the World; one is also not talking of the Tattariaya Upanishad’s ‘Atithi Devovhav’ or ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbkam’ from Mahaupanishad today.

What are being talked about are the values and opinions of organizations which want to ensure to preserve of Human rights of all people Worldwide. In this matter India is calling United Nations body as ‘foreign party’; having no locus standi in the case as it pertains to India’s sovereignty. The truth is that since various countries are signatories to UN covenants, UN bodies have been monitoring the moves of different states and intervening at legal level as Amicus (Friend of the Court) to the courts in different countries and different global bodies. Just to mention some of these, UN and High Commissioner for Human Rights has often submitted amicus briefs in different judicial platforms. Some examples are their intervention in US Supreme Court, European Court of Human Rights, International Criminal Court, and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. These are meant to help the Courts in areas where UN bodies have expertise.

 Expertise on this has been jointly formulated by various nations. These interventions also remind the nations as to what global norms have been evolved and what are the obligations of individual states to the values which have evolved over a period of time. Arvind Narrain draws our attention to the fact that, “commission has intervened in the European Court of Human Rights in cases involving Spain and Italy to underscore the principle of non-refoulement, which bars compulsory expulsion of illegal migrants… Similarly, the UN has intervened in the International Criminal Court in a case against the Central African Republic to explicate on the international jurisprudence on rape as a war crime.”

From time to time organizations like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have been monitoring the status of Human rights of different countries. This puts those countries in uncomfortable situation and is not welcome by those establishments. How should this contradiction between ‘internal matter’, ‘sovereignty’ and the norms for Human rights be resolved? This is a tough question at the time when the freedom indices and democratic ethos are sliding downwards all over the world. In India too has slid down on the scale of these norms.

In India we can look at the intervention of UN body from the angle of equality and non discrimination. Democratic spirit should encourage us to have a rethink on the matters which have been decided by the state. In the face of the greatest mass movement of Shaheen bagh, the state does need to look inwards and give a thought to international morality, the spirit of global family to state the least.

The popular perception is that when Christians were being persecuted in Kandhmal the global Christian community’s voice was not strong enough. Currently in the face of Delhi carnage many a Muslim majority countries have spoken. While Mr. Modi claims that his good relations with Muslim countries are a matter of heartburn to the parties like Congress, he needs to relook at his self gloating. Currently Iran, Malaysia, Indonesia and many Muslim majority countries have spoken against what Modi regime is unleashing in India. Bangladesh, our neighbor, has also seen various protests against the plight of Muslims in India. More than the ‘internal matter’ etc. what needs to be thought out is the moral aspect of the whole issue. We pride ourselves in treading the path of morality. What does that say in present context when while large section of local media is servile to the state, section of global media has strongly brought forward what is happening to minorities in India.   

The hope is that Indian Government wakes up to its International obligations, to the worsening of India’s image in the World due to CAA and the horrific violence witnessed in Delhi.
