The confession by Swami Aseemanand recorded before the magistrate under Section 164 of the CrPC has spilled the beans on the direct involvement by the RSS, VHP and Bajrang Dal – in planning, financing and executing the bomb blasts in Malegaon, Samjhauta Express, Ajmer Shareef and Mecca Masjid. This has unveiled the fact that scores of Muslims who were arrested by the police and investigating agencies like ATS and CBI in these cases were actually innocent. In fact, it is the plight of an innocent Muslim youth Kaleem, who was Aseemanand’s co-inmate in Chanchalguda prison…jailed in connection with the Mecca Masjid blast that has made Swami to repent and prompted him for the atonement. The electronic media which jumped to broadcast “breaking news” on the suspicion of involvement of LeT or Indian Mujahideen whenever any bomb blast occurred in the country has a lot to explain on the revelations by Swami Aseemanand. One hopes, that the law enforcement agency would realise that apart from RSS, VHP and Bajrang Dal, there are extremists groups like Abhinav Bharat, Jai Vande Matram and Vanvasi Kalyan Asharam which are more dangerous than the LeT or the alleged Indian Mujahideen.
