Sanatan Sanstha
continues to be a scapegoat: Abhay Vartak, Spokesperson, Sanathan Sanstha,
Panvel
When will the
forced witch hunting of Hindutvavadis stop, he questions

PANVEL: In a press conference, Abhay
Vartak, Spokesperson, Sanatan Sanstha, Panvel, said, “Investigating agencies
said that they have no proof of Sadhvi Pragya Singh’s involvement in the
Malegaon blast case, after having imprisoned her for 8 years. Seekers of
Sanatan Sanstha were declared innocent after being in prison for 4 years in the
Madgaon blast case. 8 months have elapsed since Sameer Gaikwad was arrested in
the Com. Pansare murder case, but failure to unearth any evidence has
manifested in undue delay in filing any chargesheet. In midst of all this, Dr
Veerendrasingh Tawade has been arrested. This seems to be an Act 2 of ‘make
Sanatan Sanstha the scapegoat’, albeit under the BJP led government. It is
evident that though there have been sweeping changes in the political scenario
both at the centre as well as the state levels, the persecution of the
Hindutvavadis continues. Many proHindu organizations have expressed their deep
displeasure against this policy of the government.”
Abhay Vartak further added, “Some days ago the CBI
questioned 15 seekers of Sanatan from Pune, Maharashtra and also demanded to
perform polygraph tests on two. Sanatan Sanstha consented to these demands and
cooperated with the investigation. The outcome of the tests is not known. In
September 2015, we had called a press conference regarding Nandakumar Nayar of
CBI, the investigating officer in the Dabolkhar murder case. We had expressed
the concern that 'The honourable High Court had chastised this officer in
earlier instances, but the same officer has been handed over this investigation
and the officer may try to incriminate Sanatan in this case too', and our
concern has proven to be true. The CBI has now taken steps to incriminate
Sanatan by arresting Dr Tawade late last night. Dr Tawade is innocent, and he
visits the Sanatan Ashram in Panvel to perform his Spiritual Practice. Prior to
2007, he was actively involved with the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti, but later due
to certain family commitments, he continued his spiritual practice whilst
continuing his household duties.”
Abhay Vartak expressed the fear, “We have no doubt
that in future there may be attempts to implicate Sanatan in the Kalburgi
murder case by arresting more innocent seekers of Sanatan.”
Abhay Vartak informed, “Two thugs called Nagori and
Khandelwal had been previously arrested in the Dabolkhar murder case. Also, the
honourable courts had been informed that the murder weapon had been recovered
from them. If that same weapon is now in the custody of the police, how could
it have been used in the two crimes that followed? Nagori had even dropped a
bombshell by claiming that Rakesh Maria had offered him Rupees 25 Lakh to
‘confess’. This claim was not investigated, and now the two are also out on
bail.”
About AAP’s allegations, Abhay Vartak said, “It is
just a ploy to pitch its tent in Goa’s political playground. AAP has already
announced that it will contest next year’s elections in Goa. Maligning a
respected proHindu organization is their way of killing two birds with one
stone - free publicity and minority votes. Will they dare question Kejriwal
about the AAP lawmakers who have been accused of serious crimes like rape,
inciting riots and corruption; or will they question Sonia about the numerous
cases of corruption that the Congress has been involved in?”
