New Delhi: A former Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) insider has claimed that senior leaders from the RSS, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal planned and executed deadly bombings across India from 2004 to 2008.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, in an interview to India’s foremost independent news-site, The Wire, Yashwant Shinde alleged the plot was a calculated bid to inflame communal violence and kill thousands, only for the sake of political power.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was a conspiracy by some people in the RSS, VHP, Bajrang Dal and BJP with extremely vile and perverse mindsets, solely for the sake of power,\u201d Mr Shinde said. \u201cThey wanted to set the country on fire so that power would always remain with them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPolitically in coma, they exploited Ayodhya for 82-84 seats in 1989, their eyes lit up and then Kashmir to repeatedly boost Atal Bihari Vajpayee to prime minister,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Mr Shinde accused RSS leader Indresh Kumar of spearheading the plan, introducing him around 2000 to a group from Nanded and that group also underwent weapons training from the army, and there were plans to send them to Pakistan to attack civilians. He claimed this group was training to build time bombs, with instructions to target public gatherings like Muslim weddings and they went and committed these acts.<\/p>\n
Mr Shinde recalled a bomb they were preparing accidentally exploded in Nanded in 2006, killing an RSS member. He alleged that those involved in the conspiracy included Rakesh Dhawde and Ravi Dev. Mr Shinde claimed operatives such as Pragya and Purohit were \u201cpawns\u201d who could be sacrificed to protect the real masterminds.<\/p>\n
Mr Shinde, who joined the RSS in 1994, claimed he tried to derail the conspiracy from within but could not oppose it openly for fear of being killed.<\/p>\n
After the Supreme Court dismissed his petition seeking a new investigation, he decided to speak publicly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
