Mumbai: Goa's Law Commission Chairman Ramakant Khalap has made a sensational claim, pointing to a nexus between the police, top bureaucrats and even some state MLAs with the Hindu right wing group Sanatan Sanstha - the organisation suspected to be behind the Goa blast.

"Sanatan Sanstha has penetrated into the police department, legislature and even the judiciary. The race has begun to protect perpetrators," said Khalap.

It seems that the Law Commission Chairman is echoing what the Goa Home Minister Ravi Naik had earlier revealed. The Minister had said that the police are investigating the links of State Transport Minister Ramkrishna Dhavalikar's wife with the controversial organisation.

"The Minister's wife is involved in the Saunstha," he said.

The blast in Margao on October 17 has brought to the fore the ugly face of terrorism in Goa.

Fortunately, the bomb exploded before it could be planted, killing the two who allegedly planned to massacre innocent people. This dastardly terrorist attack was reportedly intended to target the Diwali Narkasur festival, which the Hindu outfit Sanatan Sanstha denounces as a glorification of evil.
