Modi funding Sadhvi's NGOs: Digvijay

Bhopal, November 3: Senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh on Sunday alleged that Sadhvi Pragya Singh and her family prospered in Surat because the NGOs she runs there receive funds from the Narendra Modi Government. So much so that the Sadhvi had campaigned for Modi in the last elections.

“It’s a matter of investigation as to how a poor family from Bhind relocated to Surat to improve its financial condition and managed to prosper within such a short time,” said the former CM of Madhya Pradesh. It should also be probed if the Sadhvi had a role in planting the bombs that were recovered from Surat soon after the Ahmedabad blasts, he added.

“Violence has always been part of the RSS culture,” he alleged, adding that around a hundred organisations draw their strength from the parent body and its ideology.

“Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination by Nathuram Godse was the first act of terrorism because it was born out of ideology. It’s the same ideology that is behind the recent spate of violence,” he said in what was the Congress’s strongest attack yet on the Sangh Parivar and the BJP since the arrests of the Sadhvi and her associates in connection with the Malegaon blasts. “Everytime the BJP is in trouble, there are blasts. It’s an uncanny coincidence,” he insisted.

The Congress general secretary released a copy of the court complaint against him after he accused the RSS of training its cadres to make bombs. He first made the allegation in 2003 and repeated it on several occasions, citing evidence and stuck to his stand even though the rest of the Congress leadership appeared to avoid its mention.

Singh released the court complaint and his reply only to underscore his position that he was not surprised by the recent arrests of the Sadhvi and others. According to him, an RSS activist had been killed while making a bomb in Neemuch way back in January 1993. One of the accused in the case was arrested 10 years later when he was teaching at Saraswati Shishu Mandir.

Singh said he had appealed to the Centre to ban the RSS and other allied organisations, but it did not endorse it and proscribed only SIMI. He claimed he was the first CM to demand a ban on SIMI.

Divided States of India - Part 4 by Sujeet Ramanna on 03 Nov 2008

They have used the same organizations, who were given a free hand to brew hatred in the states that they rule, Karnataka, Orissa and Madhya Pradesh. Their new religion to attack are the Christians. They have already vitiated the atmosphere there, the people of these states are now divided in terms of religion. The new revelation of a new set of hindu fundamentalist organizations in the Malegaon and Modassa, was just the next step for the BJP as they want these terror groups to bomb muslim localities. And their support for these organizations is evident from the moral and legal support they are giving to the terrorist sadhvi. I am not sure if there is an understanding that exists between the hindu fundamentalist and the muslim fundamentalist forces in the country. But every time a bomb goes off, the fear of citizens in this county increases. It is using this fear, the BJP sells fear and insecurity to the people and how they would be better in handling the terrorist organizations.

Divided States of India - Part 3 by Sujeet Ramanna on 03 Nov 2008

To brew the hatred and divisions between religions, is always their allied organizations – VHP, Bajrang Dal, RSS and Shiv Sena. These organizations are given a free hand to create hatred between community and vitiate the atmosphere with hate. Then the BJP swoops in with holding elections and they win the elections with a clear campaigning of hatred. Divide and rule is their best policy, they cant do without it. because besides promising, hatred between religions, numerous wars with neighboring countries. This part has never ever done anything positive or constructive for this country. Because they don’t know about anything else besides being brewing hatred and division They have used the same organizations, who were given a free hand to brew hatred in the states that they rule, Karnataka, Orissa and Madhya Pradesh. Their new religion to attack are the Christians. They have already vitiated the atmosphere there, the people of these states are now divided in terms of religion.

Divided States of India - Part 2 by Sujeet Ramanna on 03 Nov 2008

The majority hindus now brainwashed were supporting the BJP. And in the next elections, the BJP won with a thumping majority. Instead of being punished by the law for a genocide, they won the next elections with a thumping majority. It didn’t matter to the BJP if riots were caused, 1000s of innocent lives were lost, society divided along religious lines. Their lust for POWER has no bounds. As long as it can win the elections, its all worth it! This successful experiment was successfully replicated in Gujurat. Another hate mongerer – Narendra Modi was hoisted to power again using the backdrop of the riots and genocide in gujurat. He was forcing the election commission to hold the elections, right after the riots, but the election commission delayed the holding of elections for a bit as they saw the atmosphere was not conducive to hold an election.

Divided States of India - Part 1 by Sujeet Ramanna on 03 Nov 2008

This is absolutely correct. The success of the nuclear deal by the government was a real scare for the BJP. They had to get back to winning the ensuing elections. And they went back to their favorite strategy of selling fear among the citizens. It is an old ploy of the BJP, by the way. L. K. Advani started the Rath Yatra, and destroyed the Babri Masjid, using the lies of a ram temple that existed before the babri masjid. Thereby appeasing the majority hindus by manipulating their sentiments of hatred for the minority muslims. The ploy worked like a charm riots pursued, causing large scale deaths of innocent people belonging to both religions. But that set the tone, as not just the fundamentalist groups belonging to both religion started hating each other. But a good sizeable population of moderates on both sides started leaning towards their respective fundamentalist groups. The division of society was complete

Shut the Crap by Saccha Gujarati on 03 Nov 2008

First of all congress is no where saying hindus are terrorist. They are pointing out organization which are psuedo hindus. The parties like RSS and VHP along with BJP are using hindus for their own political milage, why didn't they built ram mandir when they were in centre. why their alies shiv sena are killing north Indian hindus. that time they don't realize about hindus being killed by shiv sena. There is no party for cause of any community. Its only their political gain and fools like few commentors think they are thinking about them and represent them. Just ask for 50rs from them without any mileage, they will kick your butt. Its time to understand this and vote to people who are great like manmohan singh, chibambaram, rahul gandhi etc. Jai Hind

Foul Mouthed R>Raja by Suryasing Jabbarsing on 03 Nov 2008

This Raja Diggy as he claims to be seems to be a frusrated man. From being the pricipal political advisor to Soniua he has become a chaprassi.By calling others corrupt he cannot become saint.He was kicked out of MP by his own people when he helped big Marwaris in Bhanrais,and others and made plenty of illegal moneys.He was then exposed and got a kick on his posterior.Hefailed in Gujrat,was out witted Jaharkhand,Chatisganr and W.Bengal. If he claims that Narendra Mody funded he should place all the facts before Maharshtra ATS where the Court cases are pending instaed of rumbling in the iar like abarking dog.Even Soinia does not give him ears after his political debacles

modi is a killer!!!!! by Saccha Gujarati on 03 Nov 2008

modi won the election because he killed 3000 muslims. hindus are pleased when muslims are killed and vise versa. this is only because this political leaders have spread so much of hatred between them that people get amused when a person from other community is killed. but this is only for those uneducated people, coz modi lost 18 seats in central gujarat where most of the educated people reside and won 21 seats where most of uneducated people reside. they only listen to what modi says in his speeches and accept it as truth. so it is very easy to win the election, when the majority voters are fools. Unlike Maharashtra where major portion of people is educated and rational. he will win the election without doubt, coz just before the election he will spread the news that he has killed hundreds of muslim in 2002 and these will surely appease peoples. and they will vote for their god. The killer is a killer you cannot deny that. save our country you fools. Jai HInd

moral judgement of immoral charater---- by romesh.sharma on 03 Nov 2008

Enough is said which is true by commentators/readers and I would add only onething which is the real part of this man's character.He is one of those traitors who had welcomed and given free space to Islamic invaders on this holy Land.for the sake of their comfort and luxuries they can committ any/every crime and sinful act.That is in his blood.

Election fear by SR Sankaran on 03 Nov 2008

It is a fact that Congress leadership is jealous of Shri Narendra Modi's stature as an efficient CM and popular leader in Gujart.To defeat any of their opposition and to divert attention of general public from economic and other development issues, Congress has made it a fine art to utter things as they like. Never imagined Congress will stoop to such a level to allege that Hindus or Hindu organisations make bombs and indulge in killing or terrorist acts. Congress support to minorities has always been to muster votes and put the majority community against others. Congress party leaders are shameless creatures who dance to the tune of a Christian, that too a foreigner, and indulge in divisive politics at the cost of Hindus. They have neglected the majority community all along and only remaining thing for them to do is change the country's name from Hindusthan/Bharat to any other style to appease their leader. Can they play like this with any other community, say with the Sikhs

BRAVE DIGVIJAY SINGH by sha on 03 Nov 2008

The statement of mr.divjaysingh shows that there are politicians in India Who can really asses matter and realise the matter to people what realy going on in India.Terrirism is terrorism,but the treatment should not be one sided.Recent happenings shows that time is over for hindu terrorist to be safe..............

Digvijay, has Modi paid you for this? by Common Man on 03 Nov 2008

You call Mr. Modi a Maut Ka Saudagar and he wins Gujarat with nearly 2/3rd mejority. You try to defame him by calling him communal and murderer and he gains out of these remarks. Does that mean People of India want's the Communal person as ruler? If so, India is a Democracy and Modi will again win. Mr. Digvijay of course is on Congress payroll but he is marketing a brand Modi. Secular politicians and media are mejor factors why Modi is so populer in India and is so much in demand. You like him, you hate him but you cant ignore him....

Hindu Terrorist by Samir on 03 Nov 2008

All we know the fact who is bombing in the name of SIMI but still cant do anything. Wah re mera bharat mahan.

Regarding Hindutva Ideology and Above statement by Rakesh Iyer on 03 Nov 2008

Brilliant arguments. If muslims are caught as suspect of a blast, they are 'terrorists', even though courts haven't given a judgement on them. but pragya singh is a 'suspect'. brilliant. i ask a simple question to all these great hindutva icons. how many of u have seen rural india where hindus and muslims live together actually in peace? how many of u have muslim friends? how many of you have read the quran? i know no digvijay or congress leaders or bjp have ever read it, but why are you all getting fooled in the name of hindutva or jehadis? in the last 2 years, not a single muslim caught in name of terrorism has been convicted, then how is he a 'terrorist'? because you or i believe it? or because courts accept it? and for digvijay singh, he was a useless CM of my state (yes i come from madhya pradesh) but he was the only cm who had said 'The SIMI and the Bajrang Dal are two sides of the same coin. both should be banned'. Ban both. No 'islamic' or 'hindu' terrorism.

A Wrong is a Wrong by Ali on 03 Nov 2008

Digvijay is right. From all the riots that have taken place in India till date, the assasination of the Mahatama, demolition of babri masjid etc etc are all acts that BJP

Joker Dig Vijay by KUMAR on 03 Nov 2008

By Marrying an Indian you cannot claim to become a citizen of the country and as rightly said only after Mr Rajiv Gandhi s death Mrs Sonia has requested for the Indian citizenship and the people are aware what made her apply for INDIAN citizenship ????????? Not for the love of our country and people??????????????

Finally, some one spoke the truth by Ahmad on 03 Nov 2008

Finally, someone has the guts to speak the truth. In any case of these blasts, we have to look for who is benefitting. A simple question, who is benefitting? Ofcourse, without a doubt BJP. Who is anti-national, ofcourse BJP. Who are the terrorists? Ofcourse BJP. Please open your eyes guys. BJP is benifitting from all this. I can only pray that my country men and women are not fooled in the elections by the BJPs communal, violent and terrorist actions. Muslims know that no one does anything for them but with Congress the lives of Muslims is somewhat secured, so I prefer congress. Also, no one can combat terrorism better than Sonia Gandhi as she is the only politician or top politician who ever lost a immediate family member. So no one REALLY knows the pain of it better than her. Trust me. She has enough money to live happily without joining politics but she chose to serve our country

terrorism by raj on 03 Nov 2008

Some BJP walas says - No BJP dont have any association with terroristsSome other BJP walas argue what wrong if BJP/Pragya plant bombs and kill people

Shame on Digvijay for abusing Hindus by Gpal on 03 Nov 2008

Digvijay Singh a sttoge of Madam Sonia should get a beffiting reply. He deserves to be condemned for defaming Hindus and Hindu Society. Congress's days are numbered, soon they will be reduced to a Gali-Mohalla party and Digvijay Singh who always hurts the sentiments of Hindus will be reduced to a Part's president of a Gali.

The purpose of this statement by Umesh on 03 Nov 2008

It is another very irresponsible statement by Raja Digvijay Singh. He may have said so to get Muslim votes. But this is a fact that such statements flare up more and more conflict between Hindu and Muslims. Soniya is very pleased by promoting conflict between Hindu and Muslims. So, I take this statement as Diggi's efforts to please madame soniya.

Diggi's attempt to promote terror by Mahadev on 03 Nov 2008

Terrorism is terrorism. Labelling it as "Hindu" terrorism is an attempt to justify the terrorism attacks on India by Muslim youths in the past. The Government should arrest digvijay singh for promoting and justifying terror attacks on India.

should we conclude that Congress engineered these blasts and used their timings to gain politically. by Manoj on 03 Nov 2008

Very True! Lets check how this lady got so much wealth so soon.But shouldn't we check first how these politicians are making money? If you don't want to protect Afzal - then what are you waiting for? Both places we have Congress Governments.He is trying to point finger to RSS by using Mahatma Gandhi as a tool and in turn looking for political mileage.As far as co-incidences are concerned - I'm sure Congress must also be having something important negative on those days in some part of India -- So should we conclude that Congress engineered these blasts and used their timings to gain politically.Ha! Such a laughing piece of statement from Digvijay Singh!!

Present Day Indian Politics by Indian on 03 Nov 2008

Everyone all over the world knows Modi's background.Sangh Pariver can stoop to any level for political gain.Intially they tried to disown the Sadvhi but know everyone now wants to have some support for her.Inaction of Maharstian government and central government are the root cause of this problem.
