Mumbai, November 19:: The probe into how Hindu outfits accused of terrorism had links with some Army men brought a few business houses under the scanner of Maharashtra's ATS and Central Security agencies investigating the finances of the group allegedly responsible for Malegaon blast.

Sources attached with the probe said that a religious leader from Southern Gujarat was one of those who collected funds from the business houses.

Working on the chain of events about finances of the Abhinav Bharat, a little know saffron outfit allegedly involved in the September 29 Malegaon blast that left six people dead, sources said names of some of the business houses in Maharashtra as well as Gujarat cropped up.

A check was being done whether the business houses were aware about the end use of funds. "We have questioned some of them and we are working to ascertain as to how much of money had been handed over to the saffron outfit," a senior probe official said on the condition of anonymity.

The names of the business houses were not divulged for security reasons.

The money was generally collected by a self-styled religious leader hailing from Gujarat and efforts to seek his custody had not fructified so far, they said.

ATS Investigation by Prabhakar on 2008-11-20 09:52:48.348663+05:30
The Congress party after loosing total credibility in bringing the terrorists of Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Jaipur and Ahmedabad now showing their over enthusiasm in painting Hindus with a terrorist brush and colour. There are several Hindus in the Congress also but they are mute spectators to all this happenings.If Congress is thinking that it can win elections without the majority Hindu Votes then they are mistaken. If all Hindus unite and come together and vote against those who are letting off people like Afzal Guru and targetting Sadhvis and Purohiths, then only they will learn lesson. This time let all Hindus come together to send this congress and UPA to dust bin.
Shame On INCOMPETENT Hindu Terrorists by Indian on 2008-11-20 09:50:17.004156+05:30
If the so called 'Hindu Terrorists' exists then shame on them. How can they do such a bad job and getting caught. They need to improve a lot if they really wish to achieve effective results. Even if they are incompetent good news awaits for Hindus. Afterall in history it has never happened that the majority revolted against the ruling class and ever failed. Instade such revolts have brought unthinkable change to the countries. Beware CONGRESS and terrorists. Your dooms day is near.

All (Ahmedabad, B'lore, Surat, Delih etc) blast should be investgate again, surely it is done by the BJP , 10 days before the Delihi blast Modi informed to the prime minister
Business houses funded terror group, says ATS by B. Rajaram on 2008-11-20 08:32:03.902792+05:30
The kind of news getting generated without proper authentication throwing around imaginative half truths and suspicions is doing more harm to the country than the terrorism itself. The credibility of the work of ATS itself is in question now and at the end of the day this type of gossip mongering by news hounds helps neither the innocent victims nor the state agencies- the innocents get nailed for nothing and the members of the state agencies get carried away for short 15 seconds of self glory and give out their personal conjunctures as facts. Now we have a Cabinet Minister making open statement that Advani and Modi are behind terrorism and then next what? Our nation is getting into a mess. The real culprits are having a hearty laugh the way we are going around blindfolded, making fools of ourselves.
STAR WARS in India by Satya Moro on 2008-11-20 08:29:22.079222+05:30
Five years of congress-upa rule has left the whole country and every community, feeling that the government is specifically working against him/her. Civil war , the media says is a real possibility and like in STAR WARS a weak authoritarian center leads to anarchy, terror and birth of rebel Jedis. I bring to you the Indian STAR WARS- Casting1.Sonia Gandhi as an expressionless tinny-voiced dictator DARTH VADER with multiple faceless minions like our poor Munimji PM; 2.HRD Arjun Singh as Jabba the Hutt (if he is not a dead ringer for Jabba I will eat my topi); 3.Sadhvi Pragya and Princess Leia- she is pretty and in peril4.Lt-Col Purohit as Hans Solo- the fighting man with Chewbacca as Bajarang dal5.Rajnath can be Joda since he has ear hair6.Advani is Ben Kenobi for obvious reasons That leads us to Luke Skywalker- well that’s us the Indian voter and youth..with our magic saber- the vote…May the Force be with you!!

Stupid Vote Politics by Iresh SA on 2008-11-20 08:24:34.356141+05:30
This is a stupid politics which played by congress. Congree is behind all this political ATS movements to make mullas haapy, there are many bomb blast happened in India, Jaipur, Ahemedabad, Surat, Mumbai (200 people died) how about that? why not ATS acting on that they just release a sketch that done. Why are they running behind Malegaon coz mullas stay there? This is bull shit. Congress should be removed from this country altogether, they are sidelining Hindus just because of vote of Muslims. I request all Hindus to vote against congress, then only they will come to know the power of HINDU VOTE.
Revengeful Cngress by Prasad on 2008-11-20 08:20:47.511296+05:30
Its another great conpsiracy by Sonia's party on the Hindus. She has the support of the english media because for english media Hindus are like thorns. They want chirstianity to be spread everywhere. Hence now the ATS is trying to tell us that some Godman from Gujarat along with some Business houses have funded the terror. Nothing can be more ridiculous than this brazenly baseless charge. Its a shame that the Indian express also keeps on caling it HIndu terror. Shame on your Mr Shekhar Gupta. You should go and live in Taliban. All this is being done to shift the debatefrom Congress led UPA government on all fronts to Hindu terrorism. I swar Congress is the most corrupt and anti national party and we as Indian are unfortunate that we have such rotten parties in our country.

BUISNESS HOUSES FYNDED TERRORISM by PESHORI AHUJA on 2008-11-20 06:38:37.616389+05:30
IT IS REALLY GOOD THAT ATS FOUND BUSINESS HOUSES FUNDED TERROR GROUP. LET IT BE KNOWN TO ATS THAT ALL ALONG CONGRESS HAS BEEN FUNDED BY BUISNESS HOUSES. CONGRESS HAVE HAD LARGE DONATINS FROM THEM. MAYBE, ATS DOES NOT THINK IT AS A CRIME IN THEIR LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORD "THE TERM TERROR". CONGRESS, FROM AND AFTER 1969 CONGRESS HAS BEEN A PARTY OF TERRORIS IN THE LITERAL SENSE OF THE WORD. IT WAS DIVIDED INTO TWO PARTS 'CONGRESS INDIRA" AND "CONGRESS.. INDIRA WAS PM AND THE BUSINESS HOUSES FUNDED HER PART OF THE CONGRESS. WE HOPE THAT CONGREES, REPESENTED BY SONIA, RAHUL OR OTHERS IS NOT THE CONGRESS THAT WAS VISULISED BY MAHATMA GANDHI AND WILL TIME TO DISTINGUIISH BETWEEN CONGRESS AND OTHER PARTIES.

ATS and Nationalism by LAYogi on 2008-11-20 06:27:24.842547+05:30
All I want to remind readers is that I appreciate the ATS so zealously going after Hindus. However lame ducks in Delhi have NOT hanged Parliament bomber NOR Mumbai train bombers will ever be found. Lallu was so correct not too long ago saying do NOT ban SIMI they are NOT terrorist like Advani is. My vote goes to Lallu as a future PM. He has really come long way after that fodder scam charges. under lallu we can be truely secular and peace can be assured. hey he did turnaround for Indian Railways and he should be given chance to turn around Indians from Nationalistic to Secular or whatever his goal.
support the truth by Saccha Gujarati on 2008-11-20 03:49:08.612391+05:30
Congress is not that fool that they can deny the fact that they can win the election without hindu votes. There is still 8 months left for center elections, they will never take risk of defaming hindus before elections. Still ATS has not given any public statement, all the assumptions are exaggreated by Media, ATS has said nothing till now. Let them complete their investiagation, let the truth come out, after that we can curse them as much we want. ATS is not runned by school childrens that they cannot understand the seriousness of the issue. If and only if they have solid proof they will try to nab any accused. Let the law complete its course, if the accused are guilty they will be punished and if innocent then will be acquitted. jai hind
Change Terminology by Pargat Singh on 2008-11-20 03:06:45.629423+05:30
Media is so obsessed with using Saffron for Hindu that it is almost impossible for an outside observer to find the link of Hindu terrorism on Internet. It is time we corrected the terminology and use Hindu Terrorism in the similar way as Islamic Terrorism for the general benefit of observers.
        
Hindu terrorism
by Vin on 2008-11-20 12:13:18.788727+05:30
Mr Pargat or Mr Aslam which is your real name, You cannot find Hindu terrorism because it does not exist and has never existed in the last 10000 years. It has only been created by the Congress and UPA for election purposes and is being supported by the media as they are being paid for it. Hence, do not confuse or compare Hindu terrorism with Islamic terrorism. The menace of Islamic terrorism is known to each and every country in this world and each and every citizen of these countries. Google gives around 1 million hits for islamic terrorism.
