Sources have told CNN-IBN that five more serving officers of the Indian Army are being probed by Military Intelligence and the Maharashtra Police for their role in the Malegoan bomb blast. They are being questioned for their association with Abhinav Bharat and for providing logistical and operational support for the blast. In fact, the Mumbai Anti-Terrorism Squad is seeking Army's permission to question at least three of these serving officers. The government is also taking a closer look once again at the possibility of banning at least the Bajrang Dal if not the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). There is also evidence emerging that Lieutenant colonel Srikant Prasad Purohit was paid by RSS leaders to kill a key functionary Mohan Bhagwat. Meanwhile, the Madhya Pradesh Police have already re-opened the Sonal Joshi murder case. Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur's bike was sold to Joshi and sources say he was killed under mysterious circumstances in December 2007, possibility by someone from within the Abhinav Bharat itself. Both Lt Col Purohit and the Sadhvi have been accused of being behind the September 29 bomb blast in Malegoan. But the Sangh Parivar is not taking the allegations lying down. *"All this is the result of a big conspiracy. This being done at the behest of Sonia Gandhi,"* alleges senior Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Acharya Giriraj Kishore. The VHP has now planned a country-wide agitation from Wednesday against what it says is the United Progressive Alliance's (UPA) propaganda to malign Hindu leaders and the Army. The biggest fallout of the Malegoan blast is that it has breached the secular image of the Army. And the biggest worry of the government at the moment is whether the case of Lt Col Purohit and others is an isolated incident or are the defence forces finally losing their secular sheen. +++++++++++++++ <http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/> *RSS leader rubbishes charge of links with ISI* 23 Nov 2008, http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/File_RSS_leader_rubbishes_charge_of_links_with_ISI/articleshow/3746361.cms KISHANGANJ: Senior RSS leader Indresh has rubbished the charge that he had been hand-in-glove with Pakistan's ISI and had received *Rs 3 crore* from it. Addressing newsmen at Kishanganj on Saturday, he said it is the ATS that has fabricated the story and attributed it to arrested Lt Colonel Prasad Shrikant Purohit. Purohit has reportedly 'disclosed' to the ATS that he had complained to the RSS leadership about Indresh's links with ISI. ATS sources also quoted Purohit as having told his interrogators that he had hatched a plot to kill Indresh and another RSS functionary, Mohan Bhagwat, for being soft on Muslims. *"The government should provide protection to me if it feels there is any danger to my life,"* Indresh said. He also said he would not say anything regarding involvement of sadhvi Pragya or Purohit. +++++++++++++++++++++ *Abhinav Bharat had plans to poach RSS flock:ATS* Tuesday, November 25, 2008 http://news.in.msn.com/national/article.aspx?cp-documentid=1705975 *Mumbai: As the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad investigates the involvement of 10 persons arrested in connection with the September 29 Malegaon blast, central security agencies have widened the scope of the probe. Agencies are now investigating how this radical group, which formed an outfit called Abhinav Bharat, was funded and how its cadre were recruited *. Investigators said on Monday that the alleged mastermind, self-styled godman Dayanand Pandey, and Pune-based Shyam Apte at a meeting in January decided to identify disgruntled workers of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and recruit them to the outfit. Another key accused, Lt Col Shrikant Prasad Purohit, also attended the meeting. While Pandey and Purohit have been arrested, Apte's involvement is being investigated. The three are also under the scanner for allegedly plotting to eliminate two top RSS leaders, as first reported by HT on November 21. Corroborative information on the outfit's recruitment plans was also found in Pandey's laptop, which is being examined at the Forensic Science Laboratory in Kalina, a Mumbai suburb. Pandey and Purohit told investigators they'd decided to reach out to RSS workers who weren't satisfied with the organization's functioning, and give them a platform to take up the cause of Hindus by making them part of Abhinav Bharat. They reportedly revealed they'd found many such RSS workers who believed a more hardline approach was required to not only counter the threat to Hindus from Islamic fundamentalism but also to establish a strong political standing at the Centre. +++ Purohit claims Togadia funded Abhinav Bharat<http://ibnlive.in.com/news/purohit-claims-togadia-funded-abhinav-bharat/78867-3.html> http://ibnlive.in.com/news/purohit-claims-togadia-funded-abhinav-bharat/78867-3.html --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Nor can Goodness and Evil be equal.
