Columnist Ram Puniyani explains the lackadaisical approach of the investigative agencies in the cases involving Hindu terrorists. He writes:
Supreme Court slammed
the RSS Sarsanghchalak, Dr. Mohan Bhagwat for stating that Karkare had told him
that he was under tremendous pressure to nail the RSS in unsolved cases of
terror acts like, Malegaon, Ajmer, Samjhauta Express blast (Feb 28, 2012). As
per the Chief of RSS, he knew Karkare well and Karkare had solicited his
cooperation for solving these cases, and in the context of that had told him
about the pressures being put on him.
One knows that Karkare was under pressure
during that time. One also knows that the investigations in the acts of terror
were leading nowhere and after every blast number of young Muslim boys were
arrested, the blame was put on some affiliate of Lashkar, Al Qaeda etc. After
Karkare took over as the chief of Maharashtra Anti Terrorism Squad, the things
started moving. The turning point was the meticulous investigation by Karkare’s
team which led to the unearthing of the motor cycle used in the Malegaon blast,
the motor cycle belonged to Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, the ex ABVP (RSS
affiliate) activist, and the leads took the ATS to the whole set of terror
group, which were called later as Saffron terrorism by the Union Home Minister
P. Chidambaram.
