Congress attacking RSS on terrorism is like a fox
criticizing the lion. Irrespective of whether RSS members were ever involved in
few small incidents anywhere or not, the Congress' record on terrorism is much
much worse. Let us look at some of the very large record of the Congress Party in terrorism.
On 4 October 2008 former Congress MINISTER of Gujarat
Mohammad Surti was convicted
and sentenced to 20 years jail along with 5 others. These 5 others too must
have been Congressmen- this can be checked from Gujarat. Link for this report:
"Former Congress Fisheries Minister of
Gujarat Mohammad Surti and ten others were found guilty in 1993 Surat twin
blast case by TADA court on Saturday. While Mohammad Surti along with four other convicts including
former Congress corporator Iqbal Vadiwala received 20 year prison sentence,
another six received 10 year prison sentence. In Varachha blast case 12 were
sentenced while one rickshaw-driver Asif sheikh was given benefit of doubt and
was acquitted. In Railway station blast case 7 were sentenced while 4 were
acquitted. Total 21 persons were found guilty out of which five are absconding.
According to police, a part of the arms cache
smuggled into Mumbai for 1993 Mumbai blasts was diverted to Surat. Mohammad
Surti had procured hand grenades from the late Ahmedabad don Abdul Latif for
the bombings, the court said.
Four men accused in the station blast but still
at large are listed on the Interpol red corner list as they are absconding. One
of them is Farooque Surti(son of Mohammad Surti), who reportedly went to
the extent of test firing AK-47 rifles and even exploded a grenade on the
outskirts of Surat, before lobbing one at the passengers in the train."
Though this Minister Surti was subsequently acquitted by the High Court the fact that his son was convicted and was an absconder and was also a Congress worker cannot be denied.

The Indian Express of 5 March 2002 reported on Godhra that Congress leaders
are accused in Godhra:
- Mehmud Hussain Kalota, convener of the Congress district minority cell and president of the Godhra municipality
- Salim Abdul Ghaffar Sheikh, president of the Panchmahal Youth Congress
- Abdul Rehman Abdul Majid Ghantia, a known Congress worker
- Farroukh Bhana, secretary of the district Congress committee
- Haji Bilal, a known Congress worker”
When 31 people were convicted for Godhra roasting, 2
Congress men were given LIFE IMPRISONMENT and 1 was given DEATH penalty out of
the above 5. Abdul Rehman Abdul Majid
Ghantia and Farroukh Bhana have got life imprisonment and Haji Bilal has
got death penalty - 3 out of these 5.

No 2 , 3 and 15 in this list are Congress people. Out of the first 80-odd arrests for the Godhra carnage, 65 had Congress backgrounds. Out of the 31 convictions, at least 20 had Congress backgrounds.

The Times of India dated 9 August 2003 also
says that 25 Congress leaders were accused of being involved in attacks on
Muslims. This report can be read by opening the link:
Justice Tewatia committee report on Godhra and after published in April 2002 also said that Narendra Modi's charge that Congress is instigating violence in Gujarat in April 2002 to collapse the NDA alliance in Delhi is hard to reject. The Congress instigated riots in Gujarat in April 2002 to get Narendra Modi sacked and NDA allies withdraw support to the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government, according to Tewatia Commitee report and also from reports of sites like rediff.com dated 22 April 2002, The Hindu dated 7 May 2002, etc.
Congress allied with Tamil Nadu Muslim Munnetra Kazhagham (pronounced 'Kalagham', 'la' like in Tamil) - a party
involved in the 1998 Coimbatore blasts. So much for 'links' with terrorists,
Congress actually allied with this party in Tamil Nadu after the Coimbatore
blasts- in 1999, 2004, 2006.
After
the devastating Coimbatore blasts of 14 February 1998 which killed 58 people
and nearly killed L K Advani, the then Congress President Sitaram Kesri made a
ridiculous and bizzare allegation at that sensitive time, suspecting RSS role
in the blasts.
After this, the RSS sued Sitaram kesri and there were reports that he denied having made the allegation. But he then denied having denied the allegation and stuck to his charge. Asked about the reported theft at the home of BJP vice-president O Rajagopal, Kesri said, "An RSS hand is possible in this episode too."
An incident like the deadly Coimbatore blasts nearly killing Advani and killing 58 Hindus, most of whom were BJP workers also were not enough to melt the heart of Sitaram Kesri and the Congress made such a reckless statement.
The Congress Legislature Party
passed a unanimous resolution in the Kerala Assembly in 2006 demanding release of PDP
leader Abdul Madani- prime accused in the Coimbatore blasts and who was later also the accused in the bomb blasts in Bangalore in 2008 at the time of an IPL game. After a resolution demanding his release and his release, he again was involved in another attack.
Workers of the Muslim League were involved in the Marad massacre of 2 May 2003
in Kerala in which 8 Hindus were killed. The Congress of course tried to use
every trick in the book to save the murderers and never once condemned the
Muslim League for this act. The judicial commission that probed the incident
concluded that the Indian Union Muslim League was directly involved in both the conspiracy and execution of the massacre. This party
of course was and is the ally of the Congress at the time of the 2003 attack,
as well as at the time of the report of this commission as well as now. 62 were
convicted for this in 2009.
Congressmen have been declared guilty for rioting and attacking and killing Hindus in Vadodara in March 2002 on 16 October 2003. Former Deputy Mayor of Vadodara and Congress leader Nisar Bapu was aquitted, but his son and son-in-law were convicted. This was reported by at least 3 English dailies, including The Times of India on 17 October 2003. This report can be read by opening the link:
Congress has nakedly supported terrorists in Ishrat Jahan
case when its leader S S Vaghela alleged that encounter was fake and
that the 4 killed had no links to terrorists and Modi staged it to get
public sympathy. For this, Congress can be charged with treason.The
Laskar e
Toiba admitted that Ishrat was its member and also David Headley after
some
years. But even after Lashkar's confession the Congress did not withdraw
its
allegation or give an apology. The reports on Lashkar e Toiba admitting
Ishrat
Jahan as its member can be read here:
Lalu
Yadav also nakedly defended terrorists by
alleging that the Godhra carnage of roasting 59 Hindus including 40
women and children returning from Ayodhya was done by BJP/RSS men even
though the Banerjee Committee appointed by him said
that it was an accident- thereby 'acquitting BJP/RSS of the false and
baseless charge that their own men killed the 59 karsewaks in Godhra. If
it was an
accident, how could BJP/RSS people have carried it? Despite this, Lalu
alleged
many times after the Banerjee report that 'RSS people killed karsewaks
in
Godhra'. Many Congress leaders like S S Vaghela alleged in 2002 itself
many times that Godhra was done by
BJP/VHP thereby directly defending the inhuman murderers.
On 17 November 2008, the
BJP spokesman Prakash Javdekar said this:
“Congress member Vimal Mushari, who is an
associate of Assam revenue minister Bhumidhar Barman, has been arrested in the
recent blasts case... Terrorists arrested
for the Dhemaji blasts in Assam in 2005 have confessed that they received
instructions from former Congress minister Bharat Narah,” Javadekar said.
The statement alleged that it was “no secret” that Congress
ministers in Jammu and Kashmir were shielding terrorists in the Valley.
The BJP cited cases from Maharashtra, too. “NCP
corporators Sabir Sheikh has been arrested for the recent communal riots in
Dhulia. Another Congress leader, M.M. Sheikh, has been charged in the (2002)
Sholapur riots,” the statement said.
“This is just the beginning, we will thoroughly expose the
Congress,” the BJP spokesperson warned."
Congress alliance with Muslim League in Kerala has not been raised
enough by BJP and the Sangh Parivar. Had the reverse been the case, Congress
would not have let BJP get away with it. The credibility that Congress
has gained on 'secularism' can be destroyed by repeated raising of this
alliance with Muslim League by top BJP leaders, from L.K.Advani, Nitin Gadkari,
to all spokespersons.
It is also often alleged that the RSS ideology was
responsible for Gandhiji's assassination. The answer to this could be given that it is Communist ideology of murder and violence, followed worldwide,
that killed Gandhiji and not RSS'. Or the Congress' ideology of killing and attacking RSS people after Gandhiji's assassination in 1948 and burning their houses and particularly of Marathi Brahmins and killing Sikhs in 1984, that
killed Mahatma Gandhiji. It is a subjective 'opinion' that 'RSS
ideology killed Gandhiji'. Anyone else's opinion can be that the
Congress created a situation which led to Gandhiji's assassination by
throwing Hindus of East and West Pakistan to the wolves in 1947, not
bringing them safely to India and hastily partitioning the country.
Mahatma Gandhi himself is on record saying on 8 August 1947 that the
Hindus of West Pakistan should rather die there than come to India and
save their lives and religion.
Congress allied with ULFA in Assam
in 2001. At that time in 2001, Prafull Kumar Mahanta of AGP (Assam Gana
Parishad) was the Chief Minister. To dethrone him and AGP, the Congress took
support of the outlawed ULFA, as per the view of anyone even remotely associated
with the 2001 polls of Assam. This was ditto repeated with Naxals in
Andhra Pradesh in 2004 before elections. At that time, TDP was ruling
with Chandrababu Naidu as Chief Minister. After coming to power in
2004 in Andhra Pradesh on 11 May, Congress lifted the ban on Naxals on 22
July 2004, and they did a massive show of strength in Hyderabad on 30
September 2004. The ban was lifted, of course, in lieu of support to Congress
given by Naxals before the polls by common sense. But on 17 August 2005 the ban had to be re-imposed after 254 deaths in 2005 from January to 17 August- 130
civilians, 16 policemen and 108 Naxals. The opportunism resulted in 254 lives
lost.
As a matter of fact, big fish Sonia Gandhi too can be sued for
damages worth crores for her statement on 21 October 2000 in Uttar Pradesh,
saying that Sangh Parivar killed Mahatma Gandhi. The link for it is :
Congress should also be asked to explain the comment by its then President
Sitaram Kesri in 1998 that RSS carried out the Coimbatore blasts.
Not just this the party fully backed this charge. The Tamil
Nadu unit president of the party did not have any melt of heart even after the
deadly blasts nearly killing Advani.
And so much for democracy, how does Congress react when
the Marathi play "Me Nathuram Godse Boltoy" is played? They indulge in violence and damage all property- though the play has been cleared.
And it also banned "Da Vinci Code" in 2006 in Andhra, Punjab
and DMK-Congress in Tamil Nadu. If RSS is called 'fascist' over such petty
violence, and demanded to be banned, what should be done to Congress which
killed 3,000 Sikhs in 1984 and whose so many members have been declared guilty
for TERRORISM and rioting? On every point that Congress makes against RSS,
it is at least 10 times guiltier.
