WHAT IS THE COLOUR OF TERROR ?

A READY RECKONER FOR THE MYTHOLGIST OF SAFFRON

TERROR

Aronite thinking


2/28

Aronite thinking is amused to note the quandary of the Political lobby that had

put itself servicing Islamist and evangelist ideologies in the gravely mistaken

notion that it would gain it the area monopoly of religious communities that it

perceives implicitly as their own, -seized with the need to demonise the victims

of the Terrorism that they have globally chosen and has come out in the open

and alarmingly on the rise.

We therefore chose to minimise any comments and present the readily

available information such as the wikepedia and its links to put together a

dossier that should clearly show the spring boards of Terrorism, not only

around the world, but particularly India- where it is attempted to be denied

and attention diverted to a mythical chimera and invention of a Saffron terror -

an insensitive affront to the very victims targeted by this global Terrorism.

Here is a Ready reckoner for the confused and the wilful distorter of the facts

in the table, so the selective colour blindness and their perception gets clear,

so they might see visibly-

What indeed is the colour of Terror?

We have included the perception of American Intelligence agencies about the

perpetrators of isolated Terrorist incidents such as the Malegon, Mecca masjid-

Hyderabad and the Samajuta Express strikes and how they contr adict the

directives of this Political agenda that had compelled the investigations to be

turned in the opposite direction against the Hindu society and its organisations

who are respectively its constituency and its competitors and political

opponents.

The mere read-through of the compilation from Wikpedia open sorce

Encyclopedia, gives us the recurring Colour theme- Green which is global

Jihadism, Red- Ultra Leftist Marxist Leninism, and White- the Christian


3/28

evangelism and neo-colonialism that demands self alienation and revolt at the

North East that preceded the insurgency.

The conspicuous colour that seems missing is Saffron or Hindu, and yet the

increasingly inapt and politically uninformed bud of Gandhi family had

reportedly put on record in his counsel to the American Diplomats that it is

indeed Saffron-Hindu Terror which should be the greater danger- regarding

which the diplomats in the same leaked cables have noted sarcastically in

amazement that his Congress Party and the UPA have stooped low and chosen

to play communal politics aiming to plant seeds of suspicion and denial among

the Muslim community in the hope that this would fetch them their votes.

The compilation is headed under 3 categories -

Terrorism in India- region wise, the various outfits and ideological leanings.

Major Terrorist incidents in India in 2010

Terrorist incidents- worldwide and outfits that conducted them.

The conclusion we leave to the readers wise judgement as to what is the

Colour of Terror?

(The list is by no means complete nor the sum up an in depth analysis that

should bring to light the more captivating Portrait of Terrorism in all its

splendid colour and shades.)

Western India

MaharashtraMumbai has been the most preferred target for most terrorist organizations,

primarily the separatist forces from Pakistan.[citation needed]

Over the past few

years a series of attacks including explosions in local trains in July 2006, to the

most recent and unprecedented attacks of 26 November 2008, where two of

the prime hotels, a landmark train station and a Jewish Chabad house, in south

Mumbai, were attacked and sieged.[citation needed]


4/28

Terrorist attacks in Mumbai include:

12 March 1993 - Series of13 bombs go off killing 257

6 December 2002 - Bomb goes off in a bus in Ghatkopar killing 2

27 January 2003 - Bomb goes off on a bicycle in Vile Parle killing 1

14 March 2003 - Bomb goes off in a train in Mulund killing 10

28 July 2003 - Bomb goes off in a bus in Ghatkopar killing 4

25 August 2003 - Two Bombs go off in cars near the Gateway of India and

Zaveri Bazaar killing 50

11 July 2006 - Series of seven bombs go off in trains killing 209

26 November 2008 to 29 November 2008 - Coordinated series of attacks

killing at least 172.

On 13 February 2010, a bomb explosion at the German Bakery in Pune killed

fourteen people, and injured at least 60 more.

Jammu and Kashmir

Main article: Insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir

Armed insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir killed tens of thousands till date

The terror unleashed by Islamist groups in the valley is an epic tragic tale in

itself, that resulted in en masse exodus of the Hindu-sikh minorities numbering

around 300,000 out of Jammu and Kashmir, an Ethnic cleansing of infidel non-

Muslims by the Islamist separatist movement.

Northern and North-western India

Bihar

Existence of certain insurgent groups like the CPI-ML, Peoples warand MCC, is

a major concern as they frequently attack local policemen and politicians.

Poor governance and the law and order system in Bihar have helped increase

the menace caused by the militias.


5/28

The State has witnessed many massacres by these groups.

The main victims of the violence by these groups are helpless people (including

women, old and children) who are killed in massacres. The state police are ill

equipped to take on the AK-47, AK-56 of the militants with their vintage 303

rifles. The militants have used landmines to kill ambush police parties as well.

The root cause of the militant activities in the state is huge disparity among

different caste groups. After Independence, land reforms were supposed to be

implemented, thereby giving the low caste and the poor a share in the lands

which was till then held mostly by high caste people.

However, due to caste based divisive politics in the state land reforms were

never implemented properly. This led to growing sense of alienation among

the low caste.

Communist groups like CPI-ML, MCC and People's War took advantage of thisand instigated the low caste people to take up arms against establishment

which was seen as a tool in the hands of rich. They started taking up lands of

rich by force killing the high caste people.

The high caste people resorted to use of force by forming their own

army Ranvir Sena to take on the naxalites. The State witnessed a bloody period

in which the groups tried to prove their supremacy by mass killings. The Police

remained a mute witness to these killings as it lacked the means to take any

action.

However now the Ranvir Sena has significantly weakened with the arrest of its

top brass. The other groups are still active.

There have been arrests in various parts of the country, particularly those

made by the Delhi and Mumbai police in the recent past, indicating that

extremist/terrorist outfits have been spreading their networks in this State.

There is a strong suspicion that Bihar is also being used as a transit point by the

small-arms, fake currency and drug dealers entering from Nepal and terrorists

reportedly infiltrating through Nepal and Bangladesh.

However, in recent years these attacks by various caste groups have comedown with better government being practised.

New Delhi

Main article: 29 October 2005 Delhi bombings


6/28

Three explosions went off in the Indiancapital ofNew Delhi on 29October

2005 which killed more than 60 people and injured at least 200 others. The

high number of casualties made the bombings the deadliest attack in India of

2005. It was followed by 5 bomb blasts on 13 September 2008

The 29 October 2005 Delhi bombings occurred on 29October 2005 in Delhi,

India, killing 62 people and injuring at least 210 others[1]

in three explosions.

The bombings came only two days before the important festival of Diwali,

which is celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs, andJains. The bombs were triggered in

two markets in central and south Delhi and in a bus in the Govindpuri area in

the south of the city. Indian investigators believe

the Kashmir separatist/ Islamic terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba was behind the

attacks.

Suspects

The Pakistan-based Islamist terrorist organization, the Islamic Revolutionary

Front or Islamic Inquilab Mahaz, claimed responsibility for the Delhi terrorist

attacks. The Mahaz has previous history of terrorism - It was one of the

organizations involved in terrorist attacks in the south Pakistan city of Karachi

against French, American and other citizens.

The Delhi Police released three sketches of one of the suspected bombers

involved in the bombings.[3]

According to NDTV, ten suspects have been

detained following the blasts. Five of them were picked up from the Delhi

Railway station and others from other railway stations and bus terminals.

Tariq Ahmad Dar, the alleged mastermi nd of the attacks, was arrested on 10

November 2005.[4]

In a court session in October 2007, prosecutors said that

Dar telephoned his Lashkar-e-Toiba bosses following the blasts to say his team

was successful. The police also arrested the suspected Govindpuri bomber,

Mohammed Rafiq Shah

A newsreport traces the roots of this Terror- a radicalised Muslim town-

Azamgarh had been in the news after the killing and arrest of Delhi blast

suspects hailing from the district. The two youth- Atif and Sajid- killed in the


7/28

shootout with police at Batala House in Jamiya Nagar area in Delhi were the

natives of Sanjarpur village ofAzamgarh district. The arrested suspect Saif is

also the native of the same village. Saif is also being interrogated for his

involvement in March 7, 2006 serial blasts in Varanasi. Before the Delhi blast,

the Gujarat police had arrested the alleged mastermind ofAhemdabad serialblast, Abu Bashar, a resident of Beenapara village in Saraimeer area of the

district.

Attack on Indian parliament

Terrorists on 13 December 2001 attacked the Parliament of India resulting in a

45-minute gun battle in which 9 policemen and parliament staffer were killed.

All the five terrorists were also killed by the security forces and were identified

as Pakistani nationals. The attack took place around 11:40 am (IST), minu tes

after both Houses of Parliament had adjourned for the day.

The suspected terrorists dressed in commando fatigues entered Parliament in

a car through the VIP gate of the building. Displaying Parliament and Home

Ministry security stickers, the vehicle entered the Parliament premises.

The terrorists set off massive blasts and used AK-47 rifles, explosives and

grenades for the attack. Senior Ministers and over 200 Members of Parliament

were inside the Central Hall of Parliament when the attack took place. S ecurity

personnel sealed the entire premises which saved many lives.

Ayodhya crisis

Main article: 2005 Ram Janmabhoomi attack in Ayodhya

The long simmering Ayodhya crisis finally culminated in a terrorist attack on

the site of the 16th century Babri Masjid -Demolished Ancient Masjid

in Ayodhya on 5 July 2005. Following the two-hour gunfight between Lashkar-

e-Toiba terrorists based in Pakistan and Indian police, in which six terrorists

were killed, opposition parties called for a nationwide strike with the country's


8/28

leaders condemning the attack, believed to have been masterminded

by Dawood Ibrahim.

Varanasi blasts

Main article: 2006 Varanasi bombings

Main article: 2010 Varanasi bombing

A series of blasts occurred across the Hinduholy city ofVaranasi on 7 March

2006. Fifteen people are reported to have been killed and as many as 101

others were injured. No-one has accepted responsibility for the attacks, but it

is speculated that the bombings were carried out in retaliation of the arrest of

a Lashkar-e-Toiba agent in Varanasi earlier in February 2006.

On 5 April 2006 the Indian police arrested six Islamic militants, including a

cleric who helped plan bomb blasts. The cleric is believed to be a commander

of a banned Bangladeshi Islamic militant group, Harkatul Jihad-al Islami and is

linked to the Inter-Services Intelligence, the Pakistani spy agency.[5]

On December 7, 2010, another blast occurred in Varanasi, that killed

immediately a toddler, and set off a stampede in which 20 people, including

four foreigners were injured.[6]

The responsibility for the attack was claimed by

the Islamist millitant group, Indian Mujahideen

The 2010 Jama Masjid attack occurred on September 19, 2010 when two

gunmen on a motorcycle fired at a tourist bus near Gate 3 of the Jama Masjid

in Old Delhi, India and injured two Taiwanese tourists. The incident provoked

fears about security for the upcoming Commonwealth Games in Delhi. About

three hours later a car parked approximately 150 meters from the spot caughtfire, apparently caused by a minor blast.

The attack is significant because it took place on the second anniversary of

the Batla House encounter on September 19, 2008, in which Atif Amin, the


9/28

chief bomber of the Indian Mujahideen was killed. This had dealt a severe blow

to the group, which had been blamed earlier for terror attacks between 2007

and 2009, in Delhi, Ahmedabad, Jaipur Surat and Faizabad. According to

investigating agencies, the revival of the group was announced in an email to

the media, with the intention of avenging the killed terrorists.

The 2010 Pune bombing occurred on 13 February 2010 at approximately 7:15

pm IST when a bomb exploded at the German Bakery in the city

ofPune, Maharashtra, India. The blast killed seventeen people, and injured at

least 60 more.[10]

Including an Italian woman, two Sudanese students and

an Iranian student

News organizations have reported that Headley had visited Pune in July 2008

and March 2009 to scout the area near the blast and described him as a

suspected member ofLashkar-e-Taiba,[14][27]

one of the largest and most

active South AsianIslamist terrorist organisations. G. K. Pillai also said that the

attack could be part of a project by Lashkar -e-Taiba to use the Indian

Mujahideen in what Headley apparently called the 'Karachi project' during his

interrogation by the U.S.Federal Bureau of Investigation(FBI)

North East

Assam

There are several organizations which advocate the independence of Assam.

The most prominent of which is the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA).

Formed in 1979, the ULFA has two main goals, the independence of Assam and

the establishment of a socialist government.

The ULFA has carried out several terrorist attacks in the region targeting the

Indian Military and non-combatants. The group assassinates political

opponents, attacks police and other security forces, blasts railroad tracks, and


10/28

attacks other infrastructure facilities. The ULFA is believed to have strong links

with Nationalist SocialistCouncil of Nagaland (NSCN), Maoists and

the Naxalites.

It is also believed that they carry out most of their operations fr om the

Kingdom ofBhutan. Because of ULFA's increased visibility, the Indian

government outlawed the group in 1986 and declared Assam a troubled area.

Under pressure from New Delhi, Bhutan carried a massive operation to drive

out the ULFA militants from its territory.

Backed by the Indian Army, Thimphu was successful in killing more than a

thousand terrorists and extraditing many more to India while sustaining only

120 casualties. The Indian military undertook several successful operations

aimed at countering future ULFA terrorist attacks, but the ULFA continues to

be active in the region. In 2004, the ULFA targeted a public school

in Assam killing 19 children and 5 adults.

Assam remains the only state in the northeast where terrorism is still a major

issue. The Indian Military was successful in dismantling terrorist outfits in other

areas, but have been criticized by human rights groups for allegedly using

harsh methods when dealing with terrorists.

On 18 September 2005, a soldier was killed in Jiribam, Manipur, near the

Manipur-Assam border by members of the ULFA

Nagaland

The first and perhaps the most significant insurgency were in Nagaland from

the early 1950s until it was finally quelled in the early 1980s through a mixture

of repression and co-optation. The National SocialistCouncil of Nagaland-Isak-

Muivah (NSCN-IM) demands an independent Nagaland and has carried out

several attacks on Indian military installations in the region. According to

government officials, 599 civilians, 235 security forces and 862 terrorists have

lost their lives between 1992 and 2000.

On 14 June 2001, a cease-fire agreement was signed between the government

of India and the NSCN-IM which had received widespread approval and


11/28

support in Nagaland. Terrorist outfits such as the Naga National Council -

Federal (NNC-F) and the National Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) also

welcomed the development.

Certain neighbouring states, especially Manipur, raised serious concerns over

the cease-fire. They feared that NSCN would continue insurgent activities in itsstate and demanded New Delhi scrap the ceasefire deal and renew military

action. Despite the cease-fire the NSCN has continued its insurgency

Tripura

Tripura witnessed a surge in terrorist activities in the 1990s. New

Delhi blamed Bangladesh for providing a safe haven to the insurgents

operating from its territory. The area under control of the Tripura TribalAreas

Autonomous DistrictCouncilwas increased after a tripartite agreement

between New Delhi, the state government of Tripura, and the Council. The

government has since been brought the movement under control though

certain rebellious factions still linger

Manipur

In Manipur, militants formed an organization known as the People's Liberation

Army. Their main goal was to unite the Meitei tribes of Burma and establish an

independent state of Manipur. However, the movement was thought to have

been suppressed after a fierce clash with Indian security forces in the mid

1990s.

On 18 September 2005, six separatist rebels were killed in fighting between

Zomi Revolutionary Army and Zomi Revolutionary Front in the Churachandpur

District.

On 20 September 2005, 14 Indian soldiers were ambushed and killed by 20

rebels from the Kanglei Yawol Kanna Lup (KYKL) terrorist organization, armed

with AK-56 rifles, in the village of Nariang, 22 miles southwest of Manipur's

capital Imphal. "Unidentified rebels using automatic weapons ambushed a

road patrol of the army's Gorkha Rifles killing eight on the spot," said a

spokesman for the Indian government.


12/28

Mizoram

The Mizo National Frontfought for over 2 decades with the Indian Military in

an effort to gain independence. As in neighbouring states the insurgency was

quelled by force.

South India

Karnataka

Karnataka is considerably less affected by terrorism in spite of having many

places of historical importance and the IT hub of India, Bengaluru. However,

recently Naxal activity has been increasing in the Western Ghats. Also, a fewattacks have occurred, major ones including an attack on IISc on 28 December

2005 and serial blasts in Bengaluru on 26 July 2008.

Andhra Pradesh

Andhra Pradesh is one of the few southern states affected by terrorism,

although of a far different kind and on a much smaller scale.[citation needed]

The

terrorism in Andhra Pradesh stems from the People's War Group (PWG),

popularly known as Naxalites.

The PWG has been operating in India for over two decades, with most of its

operations in the Telangana[citation needed]

region in Andhra Pradesh. The group is

also active in Orissa and Bihar. Unlike the Kashmiri insurgents and ULFA, PWG

is a Maoist terrorist organisation and communism is one of its primary

goals.[citation needed]

Having failed to capture popular support in the elections, they resorted to

violence as a means to voice their opinions. The group targets Indian Police,multinational companies and other influential institutions in the name of

the communism. PWG has also targeted senior government officials, including

the attempted assassination of former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister

Chandrababu Naidu.


13/28

It reportedly has strength of 800 to 1,000 well armed militants and is believed

to have close links with the Maoists in Nepal and the LTTE ofSri Lanka.

According to the Indian government, on an average, more than 60 civilians, 60

naxal rebels and a dozen policemen are killed every year because of PWG led

insurgency. Also one of the major terrorist attacks is 25 August 2007Hyderabad Bombing.

Tamil Nadu

Tamil Nadu had LTTE Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam militants operating in

state Tamil Nadu up until the assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv

Gandhi. LTTE had given many speeches in state Tamil Nadu led by Velupillai

Prabhakaran, Tamilselvan and other Eelam members. Tamil Tigers, now a

banned organisation, have been receiving many donations and support from

India in the past. The Tamil Nadu Liberation Army, a militant Tamil movement

in India that have ties to LTTE.[citation needed]

Tamil Nadu also faced terrorist attacks orchestrated by Muslim

fundamentalists. For more information refer, 1998 Coimbatore bombings.

The 1998 Coimbatore bombings occurred on Saturday, February 141998, in

the city ofCoimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. 46 persons - 35 men, 10 women and

one child - were killed and over 200 injured in 13 bomb attacks in 11 places, all

of them within a 12 km radius, 4 bombs were planted at R S Puram area, two

near Bus Stand, 1 near Coimbatore Medical College Hospital and at Ukkadam

area. These car bombs were the work of Muslim fundamentalist group "Al

Umma" which had a strong presence in Coimbatore.

The bombings were apparently in retaliation to the earlier riots in the city the

previous year, when Hindugangs and Fundamentalist Muslim groups clashed

with each other following the murder of a traffic policeman named "Selvaraj" ,

by a member of the radical Islamist group Al Umma (The Ummah).

The first of the serial bombs exploded at 3.50 p.m. on Shanmugham Road in

R.S. Puram, 100 metres from the venue of an election meeting that was to be


14/28

addressed by Bharatiya Janata Party president L.K. Advani. There were

allegations that suicide bombers were ready to target L.K.Advani on that day.

These blast incidents was telecasted only in Vijay TV, a tamil channel. It was

covered by the channel's district correspondent umapathy.

Convictions

S. A. Basha, the mastermind of the blasts was found guilty of hatching a

criminal conspiracy to trigger a series of explosions there on February 14, 1998

and to create enmity between the two communities.

Saffron terror [1] is a controversial phrase used to describe acts of right-

wing terror in India,[2]

allegedly inspired by Hindu nationalism. The phrase

"saffron terror" is a neologism which entered public debate in India following

the 29 September 2008 western India bombings

Investigations and allegations

Bomb blasts in India which have allegedly been perpetrated by Hindu extremist

organisations include 2006 Malegaon blasts, Mecca Masjid

bombing (Hyderabad), and the Ajmer Sharif Dargah Blast[4][5][6][7][8]

It was in the aftermath of the September 29 bomb blast in the predominantly

Muslim town of Malegaon in Maharashtra that the terms Saffron Terror and

Hindutva Terror came to be used widely in various medias.[9]

However, the

accused parties confessed to police on narco-analysis that they conspired with

Muslim groups for the blasts.[10]

However, Purohit allegedly admitted that a

splinter group with tenuous ties to him had executed two blasts in India, which

prompted investigators to look into the blasts in Ajmer and Hyderabad.

[11]

Three men accused of the 2006 Malegaon bombings, including Lt Col Shrikant

Purohit of the India army and Pragya Singh Thakur, have been described as

representing Saffron terror.[12][13]

Purohit was also accused of being involved in

the 2007 Samjhauta Express bombings until the role of Pakistani terrorist Asif

Zamani was unearthed.[14][15]

A United States Department of the

Treasury report links these bombings to Lashkar-e-Taiba and Al-Qaeda


15/28

ARREST OF SOME HINDUS AS TERRORISTS: CURIOUSER & CURIOUSER

By B.Raman

some curious and intriguing aspects of the recent allegations of our

investigating agencies against some Hindus of involvement in acts of terrorism

against Muslims need to be highlighted.

2. The first relates to the incendiary explosion in the Samjauta Expres s. The

second relates to the explosions in the Mecca Masjid of Hyderabad. The

"Hindu" of July 31, 2010, reported as follows: The National Investigation

Agency's probe into the Samjauta Express blasts will cover links with the

explosions in Malegaon, Ajmer Sharif and the Mecca Masjid in Hyderabad,

Home Minister P.Chidambaram said here on Friday (July 30).... Asked about

Hindutva organisations being suspects in the Samjauta and other three blasts,

he declined to speculate."If we could do that, why would we h and it over to

the NIA? Since the Haryana Police has not been able to crack the case, with

their consent, the case has been handed over to the NIA."..... The CPI (M) has

opposed separate investigations and called for a co-ordinated probe. It also

alleged that three persons arrested for the Ajmer Sharif dargah blast (2007)

were linked to the Abhinav Bharat organisation, which is said to be behind the

Malegaon blast (2008). Their involvement is also suspected in the Mecca

Masjid blast (2007) as the SIM card found in Ajmer belonged to the same batch

used to trigger the Hyderabad blast."

3. In a press note issued on July 1, 2009, the US Department of Treasury gave

the personal particulars of four persons--- a Pashtun born in Afghanistan, two

Punjabis and a fourth person of unclear ethnicity originating from Karachi----

associated with the Lashkare-Toiba (LET), who were designated by the

Department under Executive Order 13224 as providing direct support to Al


16/28

Qaeda and the LET and as facilitating terrorist attacks, including the July 2006

train bombing in Mumbai.

4. One ArifQasmani of Karachi was specifically named by the Department as

involed in the Mumbai suburban train blasts of July, 2006, and in theSamjautha Express blast of February, 2007. It said of him as follows: "Arif

Qasmani is the chief coordinator for Lashkar-e Tayyiba's (LET) dealings with

outside organizations and has provided significant support for LET terrorist

operations. Qasmani has worked with LET to facilitate terrorist attacks,

including the July 2006 train bombing in Mumbai, India, and the February 2007

Samjota Express bombing in Panipat, India. Qasmani conducted fundraising

activities on behalf of LET in 2005 and utilized money that he received from

Dawood Ibrahim, an Indian crime figure and terrorist supporter, to facilitate

the July 2006 train bombing in Mumbai, India. Since 2001, ArifQasmani has

also provided financial and other support and services to al Qaida, including

facilitating the movement of al Qaida leaders and personnel i n and out of

Afghanistan, the return of foreign fighters to their respective countries, and

the provision of supplies and weapons. In return for Qasmani's support, al

Qaida provided Qasmani with operatives to support the July 2006 train

bombing in Mumbai, India, and the February 2007 Samjota Express bombing in

Panipat, India. In 2005, Qasmani provided Taliban leaders with a safe haven

and a means to smuggle personnel, equipment, and weapons into

Afghanistan." (

http://www.southasiaanalysis.org/%5Cpapers33%5Cpaper32 91.html )

Allegations have been made in India that some Hindus, who were arrested for

their suspected involvement in the Ajmer Sharif blast, are also suspected of

involvement in the Mecca Masjid blast of Hyderabad. On August 6 , 2010, the

US State Department made public notifications designating the Harkat-ul-

Jihad-al-Islami (HUJI) of Pakistan as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation and Ilyas

Kashmiri belonging to it as an international terrorist. Similar action has been

taken on US advice by the anti-terrorism sanctions committee of the UN

Security Council the same day.


17/28

6. Reporting on these notifications, Mr.Peter Fowler, an American journalist,

says as follows: "HUJI has carried out a number of terrorist attacks. In March

2006, HUJI was responsible for the suicide bombing of the U.S. Consulate in

Karachi, Pakistan, which killed four people and injured 48 others. HUJI is alsoresponsible for terrorist attacks in India including the May 2007 Hyderabad

mosque attack, which killed 16 and injured 40, and the March 2007 Varanasi

attack, which killed 25 and injured 100."

(http://www.newsroomamerica.com/story/41551/us_targets_terrorist_organi

zation_operating_in_india_and_pakistan.html )

7. Thus, according to American investigators the LET and Al Qaeda were

responsible for the Samjauta Express blast and the HUJI for the Mecca Masjid

blast.If the American investigators, who have better sources in Pakistan, are

correct, how can our investigators claim that some arrested Hindus were

responsible for these incidents? Justice and fairplay demand a thorough

investigation into the two different versions that have emerged from Indian

and American investigators. While the American investigators have blamed the

LET, Al Qaeda and the HUJI, Indian investigators have bl amed the Abhinav

Bharat. Both cannot be correct.

Usage

It was in the aftermath of the September 29 bomb blast in the predominantly

Muslim town ofMalegaon in Maharashtra that these terms came to be used

widely.[26]

In late 2008, Indian police arrested members of a Hindu radical cell

allegedly involved in an attack Malegaon which killed 7 Muslims.[27]

For

incidents like these, Saffron terror has been used synonymously with "Anti -

Muslim terrorism" or "Anti-Muslim reprisals".[28]


18/28

Kanchan Gupta and Swapan Dasgupta, both journalists, have accused

investigators of leaking statements about saffron terror to the media to

promote the agenda of the Indian National Congress

Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijay Singh had been raising the

issue of "Hindutva terrorism" at least since October 2008 when he wrote about

it to the Prime MinisterManmohan Singh,[32 ]

statements that earned criticism

from the Bharatiya Janata Party and a show-cause notice from the Election

Commission of India.[33]

P. Chidambaram urged Indians to beware of "Saffron

terror" on August 25, 2010. This was the first time the word was "officially"

used by the Indian National Congress-led government.[1]

Since making the

remark, a Hindu Swami in the Patan district has filed

a defamationlawsuit against Chidambaram, on the grounds that

the saffron color is a conventional Hindu symbol and worn regularly by Hindu

religious clergy, and that Chidambaram has hurt the sentiments of Hindus by

linking the symbol to terrorism.[34]

Chidambaram responded by stating "I

cannot claim patent on the phrase."[35]

On September 6, 2010 a Gujarat court

ordered a probe into the use of the term by Chidambaram.[36]

Chidambaram

was also criticized by members of his own party (the Indian National Congress)

for the use of the term, with Congress spokesman Janardhan Dwivedi claiming

"terrorism does not have any colour other than black".[37]

However, it has morethan often been proved that the term "Hindu terror" is used more for the

political agenda of some political parties seeking to garner the minority vote

share in India. Several people say that just because some of the perpetrators of

the crime are Hindu, their acts should not be linked to Hinduism, a view

seemingly endorsed by many in India.
