India: Statement by Azad of the CPI-Maoist on Saffron Terrorism

The dark, ugly and hidden face of saffron terrorism [Hindu extremism] was revealed openly first in connection with the Malegaon bomb blasts that took a toll of 31 innocent lives and now also in the samjhauta express incident. It was more of an accident that the role of Hindutva terroism in the Malegaon bomb blasts had come to light. The revelations of the gory deeds of the saffron terrorists in connection with Malegaon and samjhauta express are onl the tip of the iceberg. A re-investigation of all the bomb blasts that had taken place in the country over the last 15 years or so would bring to light even more startling facts related to the ugly face of Hindutva forces and expose the conspiracies of the ruling classes in implicating the Muslim community.

In fact, most of the saffron-robed sadhus, sadhvins, swamis, sants, mahants, maharshis , ogis etc have been playing an overtly communal role inciting the Hindus against the religious minorities and preaching the politics of murder, revenge, and genocide particularly since the demolition of Babari Masjid in 1992. But no government had done anything to investigate into their nefarious communal games and terrorist activities let alone arrest them or ban the overtly communal-terrorist organisations in the past 15 years. Whenever a bomb blast takes place or some explosives are said to be found (most of these, anyway, are planted by intelligence agencies, police officials and saffron organisations and also the Congress) the accusing finger is always invetibaly pointed at Muslim organisations and innocent Muslims.

While Islamic organisations like SIMI are banned without any evidence, Hindu terrorist organisations such as the RSS, VHP, Bajrang Dal, Durga vahini, Hindu defence Force, Rashtriya Jagaran manch, Abhnav Bharat, Hindu Munnani, Shiv Sena, and, of course, the mother of all these Hindu fascist gangs—the BJP—are allowed a free hand to incite communal passions, riots, organise genocides as in Gujarat and bomb blasts as in Malegaon, modasa, Nanded, Kanpur etc. Even blasts in Muslim places of worship as in Mecca Masjid in Hyderabad are sought to be proved as the handiwork of Muslim orgaisations. Thousands of Muslim youth are arrested and incarcerated in jails for years without any evidence while the real terrorists in saffron robes go on inciting communal passions and set off bombs with the blessings of the Indian state.The extent of the infiltration of the saffron terrorists in the state machinery can be seen by the role of several top-ranking serving and former Army officials in training and supplying explosives to Hindu terrorist gangs and engineering the blasts. This shows not only the complicit of the state but also its deep ties of the various wings of the state with the Hindu terrorists.

The attack on Muslim organisations and Muslim community at large is a conspiracy hatched by the Indian state and the top functionaries of various political parties such as the BJP and Congress. The so-called India Mujahideen itself is a creation of the IB as is now clearly revealed. Even the so-called investigations into the bomb blasts in Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Bangalore—all of which had taken place in BJP-ruled states—were carried out with the malicious intention to absolving the saffron terrorists and implicating the Muslims. A reinvestigation of these incidents is likely to show the involvement of the saffron terrorists directly organized by the ruling BJP.

The CC, CPI(Maoist) calls upon all the secular and democratic forces to unite to wage a broad-based people’s movement to expose, isolate, resist and weed out these poisonous weeds from our midst that are vitiating communal harmony and are itching to create genocides to exterminate the religious minorities. The responsibility lies more on the shoulders of the Hindu majority to spurn and ostracise these Hindutva terrorists who are a blemish to the Hindu community.

We call upon the entire Party, PLGA and the revolutionary masses to defend the people by resisting by all means and carrying out attacks on these anti-people, anti-national, lumpen neo-Nazi gangs of saffron-clad terrorists. The Indian state and its various wings, which are permeated with Hindu chauvinism and anti-Muslim, anti-Christian bias can never bring these Hindu terrorists to book or bring a sense of security and justice to the persecuted minorities. It is onl by taking up arms against the state-sponsored saffron terrorism and state terrorism and advancing the people’s war to overthrow the exploiting rulers who are nurturing the communal-fascist Hindutva forces that security and justice can be brought to the religious minorities in the country.

We demand:


Arrest of the top leaders of the saffron organisations and a ban on thes eorganisations.
Reinvestigation of all the incidents of bomb blasts since 1992.
Release of all Muslim and Christian people and lifting of the false cases foisted against them by the Indian state.
Punishment to the police officials involved in the persecution and harrassment of the religious monorities and fabrication of concocted stories about so-called Islamic terrorists.
