Pune, November 7: Pro-Hindu organisations have decided to start a Legal Aid Firm to support the right wing forces accused in the Malegaon bomb blasts, a leader of Abhinav Bharat and Hindu Mahasabha said in Pune on Friday.

An account has already been opened with a private bank in Pune to offer monetary help to all those Hindus being wrongly hunted for alleged terrorist acts, Himani Savarkar, said.

Asked about reported confessions made by Lt Col Prasad Purohit regarding hatching the Malegaon blast conspiracy, Savarkar said, the Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) personnel were harassing the accused and extracting statements under duress.

Alleging that she was not allowed to present a copy of 'Bhagwad Gita' to Sadhvi Pragya when she was brought to the Nasik court a few days back, she said, "This is terrorism in police uniform."

Savarkar, who left for New Delhi last night, said Hindu outfits would engage best legal talent to defend the wrongly accused community members in the Malegaon case and they would also consult Supreme Court lawyers for the purpose.

Indian unity wanted by Dr U.B. Jayanthi on 09 Nov 2008

I think it is right for organizations to provide funds for the defence of their like minded people. But public money should not be spent. I think till now many pol.iticians played the card of hating hindus to win minority votes and the minorities went with them. Now what will the minorities do if the politicians see supporting the hindus better as hindus will all join. It is time there should be new political parties led by intellectuals free of corruption and election should not cost any money. That is the salvation for minorities and majority groups of religion, comunity, caste groups.

Terrosits are Terrorists! by Sujeet Ramanna on 08 Nov 2008

This is unbelievably shocking, these individuals and their organizations have indulged in terrorist acts. It is completely unfair to say that hindu organizations are funding their legal support. It is the religious fundamentalist organizaitons that are providing this legal aid, which makes me sick to the bone. Not only is it sick to see these individuals being provided legal aid by the organizations, but as a hindu, my head is hung in shame by the activities of such organzations done in the name of Hindu religion, that has taught the world about peace, harmony, universal love and co-existence. We as hindus have not only disown these organizations but have to strongly condemn their activities. Abhinav Bharat, Bajrang Dal, VHP, RSS and Shiv Sena should be banned. Otherwise the day is not far away when these organizations will in the near future do a 9/11 and we will wonder where did we go wrong! Terrorists are terrorists, put them in the slammer for a 100 years with rigorous imprisonmen

Hindu Terrorist's by Sarang. Joshi on 08 Nov 2008

I dont know whether the accused caught in Malegon blast are guilty or not, but I would like to say that the have done a perfect job. They are against country like the Islamic terrorists. It is like a retaliation against the Islamic terrorism. Why the Planners of the acts are not hanged when they are killing number of persons. When they kill number of persons still getting the bail, where should the victims family go. All bombs planted were in Hindu dominated ares. Maximum Hindus are killed in the blasts and the accused are getting "Bail"? So who will believe in the Govt? What happened to Bombay Blast accused? Why no one is hanged? What happened to Parliament attack planners? Why Afsal Guru is not hanged? Islamists have numerous options to flee but what about Hindus? They (Hindus) have only one country "India". So they are not Hindu terrorists, they are retaliating.

i am ashamed by sandeep on 08 Nov 2008

sir,your comments make me hang my head in shame,that i am also a hindu.sir i must point out that the terrorists also use the same argument as you...they say they are retaliating against the babri masjid and bombay riots.so the people that you loath are no different from you.

Threat to Hindus in and around India by Shyam on 08 Nov 2008

Hindus have been abolished in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Srilanka, Nepal and alos in India. Everywhere, there has been attack on Hindus. Hindus have been converted to other relegions. Is it not Hindus rights to safe their own relegion from extinction?. Hindus are less agrassive as others.

Hindu org. provide legal support by ramesh kumar on 08 Nov 2008

There is nothing wrong if some of the Hindu organizations decided to extend support to Sadhvi. Why Not? One side Muslims are united, another side Christians are united! What are we Hindus waiting for? All hindus should unite and extend support to any and all Hindu cause. In the name of 'secularism' Hindus are butchered day by day, and we still show patience and tolerance. Not any more. Enough is enough.

Good Initiative by Gpal on 08 Nov 2008

Bold and a noble step indeed.

Awesome..... by P Dalvi on 08 Nov 2008

When AMU decided to pool in money to defend the 'muslim' terrorists, they were criticised. Now, those very same people are defending terrorists because they are Hindu.Well done... keep up the good work. Long live hypocricy and religious fundamentalism.Long live the impotent citizenry of India who keep quiet all the time. Well done. Thank you for destroying my country....

media going overboard by Capt ( Retd )M V Subbarayappa on 08 Nov 2008

Indian armed forces is one of the best disciplined force in the world.If one or two from the forces have deviated as alleged, it is purely out of frustration when the so called secular politicians in power doing nothing to contain the zehadi terror which has inflicted un- told misery on our citizen including service personnel in the last 15 years. We are all concerned on the bad name army is likely to earn on this issue but media as a responsible

I will contribute by Seema on 08 Nov 2008

We will pay for their aid, please share where to send money and can we send USD also? They are falsely accused and we will save them and our honor being tarnished by pseudo-secular fundamentalists.

defence of accused of Malegon blast by krishnan on 08 Nov 2008

Right to defend oneself from accusation is a fundamental right. It is welcome that people help those accused in the case are properly defended.Nothing wrong in Hindu organizations volunteering help. When lots of teesta setalvads, sachars parade for helping pronounced terrorists, nothing wrong in Hindu organizations in arranging for proper defence, so that none who is innocent is punished because of lack of proper legal aid.

Terror in Uniform by Syamasundara prasad Turaga on 08 Nov 2008

Dear Savarkar, it is true unless and until all Hindus unite under one banner, leaving their individual interests at home and fight this Congress Government controlled by non hindu this type of Terror in Uniform will continue. Take solid steps to unite Hindus together. I am holeheartedly with you.

Hindu orgs.to provide legal aid by Lakshmi on 08 Nov 2008

To the poster Sheeraz, the facts are that Godse left the RSS long before the assasination of Mahatma Gandhi!It is a common misconception that the RSS was involved. As for the Malgson case, innocent until proven guilty is the practice in all secular democracies.

Legal aid to Malegaon accused by Indian on 08 Nov 2008

Ban RSS-Bajrang Dal-Shiv Sena ???? That would be suicidal for Hindus and feather in the cap of the Italian and her spineless PM, supported by an "Antony" whose parents could not even think of an Indian name for their child. This guy "Antony", who probably takes his orders from Vatican is now supposed to protect India by being a Defense Minister!!! There is no other civilized solution than to vote this useless UPA govt. out of power. I hope more army officers join this Lt. Col.

Hinduism and terrorism by Shankaran Nair on 08 Nov 2008

The Organisations and leaders who claim that they are custodians of Indian and Hindu culture and support such terrorism have no right to remain in India as their behaviour is anti India. They cannot claim the leadership for Indian people. All those who supported such activities should be debarred from contesting elections to the Indian Parliament and assemblies as they are taking oath before taking up their job and being members of the bodies.

Perspective by Faiz Hakim on 08 Nov 2008

I certainly believe that all of the accused should get their day in court and are entitled to adequate representation. If they are handed the strictest punishment permitted under the law, if they are found guilty, would set the best example for the country. This will speak well for the maturity of our democratic instituions and the efficacy of our security establishment. This should generate confidence in GOI amongst the open-minded minorities. There are umpteen terrorist outfits in the North East that range from Hindu to Christian to Atheist Communists and so on. All this in no way means that Islamic Terrorism is not a very special phenomenon and hard-core Islamists are at the moment the primary cause of most of the terrorism in our country. The burden on us Muslims is heavy to root out this evil from amongst us and join the mainstream of Indian life. It is a challenge and an opportunity.

Indian Army by Indi on 07 Nov 2008

Congress and upa are protecting terrorists. Army are protecting victims of congress vote banks that is Hindus.

Bitter Friuts of minority appeasement by Dr.B.K.R.Nair on 07 Nov 2008

India has started seeing the fruits of minority communalism and minority appeasement.Like newtons third law or le chatlier's principle in chemistry, the hindu's will mobilize themselves in due course to oppose the suppression of majority hindu's.Today army, tomorrow police then 80 crore hindu's.Still time left for politicians an other so called pseudo secularists to mend their ways.PLEASE REMEMBER INDIA IS SECULAR ONLY BECAUSE IT IS A HINDU MAJORITY COUNTRY.

Hindus should unite!! by Tejaswi on 07 Nov 2008

A great initiative. My full support is in with this cause. The Congress led government did not do anything after around 50 bomb blasts in recent times all across India but very efficiently find the so called culprits in Malegaon blasts. This kind of appeasement of minorities only encourages them to attack Hindus. Hindus should unite!!

Hindus have to protect themselves 3 by n.krishna on 07 Nov 2008

There were very frequent reports in India of strange death, the investigation of which is beyong the capability of Indian doctors. Bio trials by muslim terrorists are in progress in India/ I call on all Indians to do their share to stop this terrorism as the GOI under the christian rule is interested only in furthering terrorism and not fighting it. Terrorists try to infiltrate UK's top labs as per UK security services MI5 and MI6. MI5 and MI6 intercepted up to 100 potential terrorists posing as postgraduate students to access laboratories in UK. Briton’s MI5 has warned in November 2008 that al-Qaida is seeking to recruit scientists who develop deadly viruses in UK and other nations. MI5 is United Kingdom’s Military Intelligence, Section 5 which is the UK’s counter intelligence and internal security agency while MI6 is UK’s external intelligence agency

It is an awakening call for politicians by Shankar on 07 Nov 2008

When our leaders could not take any action for terrorist for the sake of vote bank, then army is the only answer. India should be put under Military rule for some years to suppress all these politician who allowing every thing like terror attack, condem the police action, condem the military action, protection for terrorist in the name of Human Rights, abolishion of POTA, for the minorities to do within the country for the sake of their votes. How long the common man suffers for the leaders game. It is an awakening call for the politicians who were alwayes pleasing minorities.

One day we will thank UPA/Commis.. by Santanu on 07 Nov 2008

Guys it is just ;secular' politics and 'jihadi vote bank' appeasement. UPA/Communists/media have nothing to loose (well 'nation' they won't care..) in terms of power. All Jihadi supporters feel so happy that some hindus also are accused of terrorism. But internationally guys there is only one religion involved in terrorism, UPA/Commis can't do anything about it. Hindus finally you have chance to make entire India like Gujrat, efficient, clean and free of Jihadi weeds. One day we will thank UPA/CPM for some inadvertant nationalistic help! Only all hindus should go and vote thinking about the well being of their children/grand children.

Let us support our worriers by Naicker on 07 Nov 2008

This man not only safe gaurd our boarders but also our us (Hindu religion). We are with great culture and democratic but still we need Nuclear test to show our neighbours we can oppose, when then try to come in. Same way now these 2 major relegiuos giants using money and terrorism to show there power and convert Hindu's. We need our army to safe gaurd us and our cultural religion.

You are wrong by Proud Hindu on 08 Nov 2008

You are wrong when you say army is for protecting hindus only. Army is for protecting India which includes hindus, muslims, chrtistians, sikhs and all others. And anybody who works againsts the interests of the country should be hunted down. Even if that includes idiots from army like this Purohit.

Is your faith so weak? by Raj on 08 Nov 2008

Wah, your religion is so good that it needs an army to defend it. Is it that intellectually poor that you can defend it inly physically, or is it that your culture teaches violence.

Hindu by rajesh singh on 07 Nov 2008

Our great army is taking responsibility of our impotent government

STOP THEM. by Nautankee on 07 Nov 2008

RSS, VHP, Bajrang Dal etc. should be banned o else they would spoil our Hindu mnames around the globe. These organizations claims to reprsent all Hindu's, but their deeds are the deeds of Al-Qaida likes and they cannot represents cultured and civilized Hindu's who do not believe in violence or terrorism.These different faces of the BJP should be banned to spread hatred in our Hindu names.

Are you impotent ? by raka on 08 Nov 2008

stop them by jiten on 07 Nov 2008

RSS INVOLVED FROM GODSE KILLING TO MALEGAUN KILLING by sheeraz on 07 Nov 2008

The communial forces established access to Army after Kargil war. RSS, VHP and BJP were found distributing fruits etc. to injured Army men. As such during home minstership of Advani, the venom of communalism was infused in the Army.However few of Army men with RSS links are to be blamed. Still we are hopefull that Army will keep up its secular Image.It's High time Govt. and Army should take stringent action against RSS, BJP and SanghParivar and those who have links with these terrorist parivar shall be brought to book. It is simple any one who visit RSS shakas will find many beaurocrats, police and Army personnel as the members of this terrorist outfit.The govt need not wait tillnext blast.Govt should obtain the members list of SanghParivar and take suitable action against those serving officials who have links with these terrorists.

Idiot Sheeraz by Gpal on 08 Nov 2008

I think the best place for you is Pakistan, which created for Muslims of South Asia.

J by Jatin Patel on 08 Nov 2008

I agree with you if you take responsibility for all muslim blasts terrorists, which the government has not even investigated and brought your community fellas to justice. There should be no violence on name of religion, we agree. And Hindus will have to defend themselves is obvious. And the separatists leaders in J
