New Delhi: For the first time ever, the issue of Hindu groups being involved in the recent terror attacks in Gujarat and Maharashtra was brought up in Parliament on Thursday.
Rajya Sabha was adjourned following heated protests over the alleged involvement of Hindu “terrorist groups” in the explosions in Malegaon and Modasa on September 29.
Hindu groups have been accused of being involved in similar acts of terror in Maharashtra in the past, often with the support of their families
Samajwadi Party MP Rashid Alvi and the CPM's Brinda Karat brought up the issue in the Upper House but the BJP reacted violently to the argument and raised slogans.
CNN-IBN was the first to report that extremist Hindu groups were behind the Malegaon and Modasa blasts that took place during the holy month of Ramzan.
“A report said Hindu extremist outfits were responsible for the blasts In Malegaon and Modassa in September. Maharashtra ATS has said that in Nanded and other blasts, Bajrang Dal and other Hindu Extremist outfits were involved,” Brinda said.
Reacting to Brinda Karat's comments on communities being associated with terror, Union Minister Kapil Sibal said terror has no religion.
“All those who indulge in violence are criminals. Do not associate criminals with any community,” he said.
Sources have told CNN-IBN that the Hindu Jagran Manch, an Indore based group is the main suspect.
Five Muslims were killed in Maharashtra's Malegaon and one in Gujarat's Modasa town.
