As the confessions of “Swami” Aseemanand, outed by Ashesh Khetan of Tehelka magazine, stick the terror label firmly on the tilak-stained foreheads of the Hindu lunatic fringe, calls to ban the “cultural organisation”, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), have gathered steam even as the BJP beats around the bush.
In the Bombay newspaper, DNA, Parsa Venkateshwar Rao Jr posits the defence for RSS against the defence for Binayak Sen, the doctor sentenced to life in prison for hobnobbing with Naxals. In other words, how does a society that wants to give the benefit of the doubt to those who kill stop short when it comes to one who saves?
“Even as it is inaccurate and untrue, if not unfair, to call Binayak Sen a Maoist rebel who wants to overthrow the Indian state through violence, it is also inaccurate and untrue to call the RSS a terrorist organisation. For the people who defend Sen against the calumny heaped on him by the state and the right-wingers, it becomes morally obligatory to defend the RSS as a right-wing, retrogressive but not a terrorist organisation.
“Similarly, those who defend the RSS also have to speak by the same token of principled stand to defend Sen as a leftist who is not a terrorist. But the ideological divisions we see all round with regard to Sen and RSS are stark, and facts be damned.
“The fact that the RSS is a right-wing extremist but not a terrorist organisation does not mean that there are no Hindu terrorists, as there are Muslim terrorists. Muslims organisations like Jamaat-e-Hind or Jamiat-Ulema-e-Hind can be dubbed right-wing but not extremist. In the case of the Student Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), the investigation agencies failed to establish beyond doubt the linkages between individuals who committed acts of terror and those who expressed belief in terror acts even though they may not have been personally involved.”

Simple ji….
When there is no consensus in the govt circles today as to who did what, how can you expect someone to take a stance just because some dumb ass came out with some story about this revelation????
I know you cannot understand this as easily as you understand the beautiful explanation given out by Kapil Sibal, so here is a bit of explanation for you.
Day before yesterday NIA came out with the idea that Aseemanand was behind Samjautha blasts. One day later they come out with another theory that Sunil Joshi was the mastermind… duh???
Sadhvi Pragya and the rest of the gang are behind bars since the last two years. To the extent of my knowledge, we have not come across any hindu groups organising any kind of strike/dharna etc demanding their release. Sadhvi was even subjected to narco tests. Still nothing came out of it. Even today, the investigative agencies are running in circles to pin point who did what and where and when..
Given this scenario, how or why should anyone trust the Congress Bureau of Investigation or for that matter the NIA???
On the contrary, now this sounds like music to your ears, we have Afzal Guru who has been sentenced to death by the SC. Why is congress pussyfooting the issue of hanging him??? The Home came out with a stupid explanation that there are X men in queue waiting to be hanged.
Kasab is whiling away his time in jail eating kababs and biriyanis, couresy the government.
Simple Sir.. can you draw a comparison between a terrorist and a fella who has probably raped and killed??? Hanging Afzal Guru is same as hanging any venka naani seena???
Also look at the reason given for Aseemananda’s confession. He was kept in the same cell/jail where another muslim by name Kaleem was also lodged. Now this Kaleem fellow was the one who was picked up by police for the mecca masjid blast. He was later acquitted on this charge but was again arrested on some other charge and was conveniently lodged in the same jail/cell where Aseemanand was kept. And he served Aseemanand dutifully knowing fully well that this is the chap who was responsible for his arrest in the first place. And this act of kindness moved Aseemanand to such an extent that his heart changed and he came clean of all his wrong doings.
You can look at this “story” in two ways.
One, Aseemanand is really not as bad as he is thought to be. Just one simple act of kindness was enough for him to repent for his sins. Also since he had said that he did his acts in retaliation for the various bomb blasts carried out by jihadis in different temples of India, he would not have committed his act had those bombings not taken place in the first instance.
Two, this is a story fit for a third rate sandalwood/bollywood/kollywood/tollywood movie makers to produce a superb tear jerker!!!
Either case, unless the investigative agencies are able to corroborate this story with hard facts, it will not stand in the court of law.

Moreover, there is an inherent injustice in this whole drama. Please note that it was not Rajeev Gandi alone who got killed in that bomb blast. Many other innocent civilians too got killed. How the F can Sonia take a decision on their part too without consulting them? For her, getting pardon for her husband’s killers might get political mileage. Not for the childlren of those common civilians who parents got killed at the same time. Has anyone asked them how they want to treat these killers????
The dumb ass wa not Aseemanand. He is “claimed” to have given this confession. The confession was then leaked by some other person, on whose orders we can all guess. That person is the dumb ass.
Now look at the sequence of events.
Day one, Aseemanand is claimed to be the master mind in Samjautha blasts.
Day two, the onus shifts on a dead man Sunil Joshi who cannot contradict this statement.
Do you require anything more glaringly stupid than this??

Simple Sirraa… illi kelri yappa…
October 2008, Safdar Nagori told NIA that the Samjautha blast was the handiwork of SIMI activists who committed this act with the help of Pakistani nationals.
More than two years later, NIA has made Aseemanand to confess that this blast was his work.
Diggy Raja said RSS is a terrorist organsiation.
Clown prince said hindu terrorists are more dangerous to India than muslim terrorists.
Now we have NIA which is bending backwards to “re-create” a jigsaw puzzle to accomodate the lunatic and the clown prince.
Whattay team Sir ji??? Clown prince and his lunatic teacher and an investigative agency who are dancing to their tunes!!!!
One more thing you know Sir???
Justice N Satosh Hegde, former judge of the Supreme Court of India, explains that a lot would depend on the judge presiding over the case. Though it appears that Aseemanand’s confession holds more weightage, it may be an uphill task for the NIA if he retracts his statement saying that he had done so under duress. Nagori’s claims, though cannot be completely overlooked, hold less weightage since they were made before the police. Moreover, the narco-analysis test does not hold much value as the Supreme Court earlier this year declared its use as illegal if it has been conducted without the consent of the suspect.
Now here is a classic case where we have one crime and two claimants who are taking credit for this crime.
What a wonderful thought if our NIA is made the official crime busters for the world as a whole??? For every crime we will have two two culprits.

Sir, BJP stauncly opposed commuting death sentence given to Nalini. Infact, according to a Frontline article, there were only two parties which opposed this kind of pardoning. Tamilaga Rajeev Congress headed by V Ramamurthy ( and if my memory serves me right, the party to which PC was a member before he came back home to CONgress) and BJP.
But Nun, with all the kindness overflowing from her bleeding heart, decided to pardon Nalini. The reason quoted was that Nalini had a daughter who cannot be orphaned. And DMK requested Fatheema Biwi, the then Governor of TN to sanction the commutation of death sentence to life imprisonment. And the Governor did so for all the prisoners.
Mahatma Gandhi’s killers were hanged. So were Indira’s killers. But not Rajiv’s. Because his own wife did not want to see them killed.
And yet you say NDA did not hang these prisoners!!!

So Sri Simple Sir,
Let me understand this correctly.
You are saying, out of all the people convicted & sentenced to death in Rajiv’s killing, only Nalini needs to be pardoned.
Why?
Because NUN pardoned her. And why did the NUN pardon her? Because she had a daughter.
Correct???
So, if Nalini can be pardoned because she had a daughter, why should the same courtesy not be extended to Murugan? Nalini’s daughter’s father? Isn’t father important in a child’s life??
And if Nalini is sentenced to death with several others and if, only she is pardoned, will it not be grave injustice to the others??
And you know what is the funniest part in this whole thing is?? Of all the convicts, it was only Nalini who was directly linked to the killing. The others were booked for abetting the crime.
How will it be if you let the main culprit go scot free and book the rest of the motley crowd because one supplied vehicle, the other supplied batteries and yet another arranged for the stay & arranged for the lunch/dinner of the main culprit etc????
So even while pardoning someone, one must use brains.. which alas was hibernating( not that it was ever awake) at the time this drama was enacted.
On another note:
My repeated replies to Simple might seem to some as sparring game. But pardon me, if these are the kind of imbecile writings and utter lies that are posted, they need to be rebutted firmly. We have suffered enough of such lies & half truths drilled into the collective mindset of the society by the self serving CONgies, secularists and leftists for a very long time without reacting.
