Mumbai, November 20: : A Shiv Sena activist has filed a PIL in the Bombay High Court, seeking that investigation of the Malegaon blast case be handed over to the state CID and action be taken against Anti-Terrorism Squad for "ill treating" Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, one of the accused in the matter.

Petitioner Shilpa Deshmukh, who is the secretary of Shiv Sena's Bhartiya Vidyarthi Sena, said that she was filing the PIL on her own and not on behalf of the party.

However, the High Court is yet to hear the petition, which is based on media reports regarding probe of Malegaon blast case, and alleges ATS of showing biasness.

"ATS is soft-pedalling" probe against Muslim organisations such as SIMI, the PIL says and claims that the investigation into the matter is "doubtful".

Besides, the PIL also asks for a judicial inquiry into the allegations of the accused Sadhvi Pragya against the ATS, it said.

Action should be taken against Director General of Police A N Roy and ATS chief Karkare for their "barbaric and pre-judicial approach" towards Hindu organisations and Sadhvi Pragya, the PIL demands.

It has also demanded that ATS officers should not detail the investigation process to the media.

Congress is duping our people by govi on 2008-11-21 06:11:14.39886+05:30
Congress is doing now to get Muslim votes. This is a scheming calculation by Sonia. I am glad Shiv Sena has filed charges against ATS. Do so also against Sonia who has come to our country to punish the innocent with mass bombings and allegations. How can we tolerate this? Indians common don't stoop so slow by being so subservient. You are no longer in British Raj, remember well we live in an independent India so why are you being so tolerant with all the injustice meted out to us. Banish the Congress. Don't be duped by Sonia Gandhi the latter is fake and has no Indian blood and she is fake Gandhi the only original was our Mahatma Gandhi who gave us freedom. So follow him do not bow.

If congress is doing nothing against terorrism, there is a huge cry that congress is incompetent. Now when congress is taking harsh steps, then again huge cry congress is appeasing minorities. Even muslim terrorist has been killied, even muslim terrorist has been arrested in many places of india. Let ATS do their job. The politicians will keep on barking for their political mileage, but we people should understand what is good and what is bad. let the law decide it course, if guilty they will be punished and if innocent will be released. Let them clean india from all the terrorist hindu or muslim, terrorist has no religion. Jai Hind
Trust on Judiciary by Murugan on 2008-11-20 16:41:53.036772+05:30
Just for the investigations why one should get so much worked up?If these people are really innocent, the court will ensure their release.On the contrary if they are guilty, the Court will ensure they are punished.Why so much fuse ? Are you so called partriots do not have trust on Indian Judiciary?.You will say , ATS. IS our judicisry so week that they can be taken for granted by ATS. Have patience .Have confidence if there is nothing to hide.
Hindus are foreigners in their own country by B.V. Sagar on 2008-11-20 16:23:13.404742+05:30
I have a doubt whether we are living in India or In Pakistan. We Hindus have become foreigners in our own country. The minority Muslims whose population was just 6% has now increased to 23% of Indian Population and the so called Hindus have been divided into several sects and segments. All the political parties, Rules, Regulations, Reservations and Laws speak about only Muslims. If any Hindu fights for rights, they will be branded as "so and so" by foreign media. Where should we go. Dear all friends now our first priority is to boygot reading these publishings of foreign funded newspapers and magazines and secondly, through out the dirty politics and politicians out off this country. Lets do it, we dont have time...
ATSprobe is conspiracy of seculars by Ashoka Kumar Jha on 2008-11-20 16:22:20.849982+05:30
Hypocracy, lies, deception, duplicity and conspiracy hasbeen the identity of all seculars of india.These so calld progressive, modern and secular elements are enemy of nationalist and patrotism so they only makes hue and cry on minoritiesm.Inthe case of Parliament attack case these seculars were making hue and cry for Prof Gilani, Afzal Guru and against the Batala houe shootout thesepeople were shouting at theirs top.But inthe case of Malegaon probe these people has been terming Pragya Singh Thakur and ColPrasad Srikant Purohit Terrorist without trial and any proof. Shamefuly even the Indian Army handed over its officer to Maharastra Police in haste, and that even without any internal probe and inquiry,which is un precidented .In todays scinario of india minoritiesm, casteism and regionalism is at its peak, due to morethan sixty years of divideand rule policy and education, thought and polity.The apprehension that if Sonia Gandhi will come into power, she will destroy the country.
