Hon'ble Prime Minister Dr.

Manmohan Singhji,

Sadar Namaskar.

I am constrained to make a demand on your valuable time justified by

the seriousness of the subject of this letter. Stated briefly, the
purpose of burdening you with this letter is to bring to your
attention the deliberate attempts to distort, even pervert and
politicise, the ongoing investigations into the bomb blasts at
Malegaon. Ajmer and Hyderabad and to cast false aspersions on the
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh [RSS].

A single fact in the Government's hands will nail this lie. The
Maharashtra ATS [MATS] has evidence in its possession to show that the
accused in the Malegaon blast case, Col Purohit and Dayanand Pandey,
were, simultaneously plotting to eliminate Shri Mohanrao Bhagwat, the
then Sarkaryavah - General Secretary - of the RSS (currently the
Sarsanghachalak), and a senior RSS leader Shri indresh Kumar. At the
time of the Malegaon investigations itself a senior Maharashtra ATS
official had informed one of our prominent leaders about this
conspiracy by the above mentioned Malegaon accused. Yet, shockingly,
some elements in the investigative agencies have been trying to club
the RSS with those very same people who were plotting against it. The
fundamental question that arises, but not addressed, is: how could the
RSS be bracketed with those who were viciously hostile to it and
conspiring to kill its leaders?

The Charge Sheet of the Maharashtra ATS dated 20.1.2009 on the

Malegaon blast submitted to the Court contains the transcripts of the
audio CDs detailing the conversations of the said accused. They
revealed that, while the plotters were organising chemical attack on
Sri Bhagwat, they had given a pistol to a named, specific person to
eliminate Sri Indresh Kumar. The CD recordings showed that the
conspirators were spewing venom at the RSS and the BJP. This
extra-judicial confession conclusively proved that the RSS was a
target of the accused persons in the Malegaon case.

Recently, the media [Indian Express dt 28.1.2011] has reported, citing

Military Intelligence [MI] Report, that Col Purohit had also admitted
[as early as on 29.9.2008] that, at the instance of Dayanand Pandey he
had plotted to kill Sri Indresh Kumar - the reason being Col Purohit's
suspicion that Sri Indresh Kumar was an ISI agent. Purohit had also
said that the plot was activated during Col Purohit's visit to
Panchmarhi during January 2008; that, at that meeting, Dayanand Pandey
asked Col Purohit to procure weapons for killing Sri Indresh Kumar;
that Col Purohit handed over a 9 mm pistol to one Alok, close
associate of Dayanand Pandey, at Bhopal Railway Station to kill Sri
Indresh Kumar in Delhi. MATS and MI had interrogated and obtained this
confession from Col Purohit, which corroborated with the audio
recordings mentioned earlier. So MATS was fully aware of the specifics
of the conspiracy to kill the RSS leaders.

But despite being in possession of such explosive, critical and

specific evidence of the plot the MATS took a "conscious decision" and
told the Bombay High Court in July 2010 that, as there was nothing
'"specific", "no further action is required to be taken" on the
alleged plot to kill the RSS leaders, "except to wait for the outcome
of the pending trial". The MATS told a clear lie to the court. It
admittedly has specific information about the plot. The plot to murder
any one is a serious issue. In this case it is an independent offence,
unrelated to the Malegaon offence and trial. So there was no need to
link the end of the Malegaon trial to probe this murder plot. It is
obviously just an alibi for not probing the murder plot. Delaying the
probe also helps destruction of evidence. Yet, the MATS did not even
register an FIR in 20'08 or later against the conspirators whose
extrajudicial confession on the CD had nailed them. This is virtually
a decision to abort probe into the conspiracy to murder, which is
criminal. The shocking decision of the MATS not to probe the plot to
kill the RSS leaders raises unanswerable questions like:

Was the investigation aborted because the exposure of the plot would
foil any attempt to bracket the RSS with the Malegaon conspirators?

That the decision virtually to abort the probe only helped the
detractors of the RSS to carry on insidious campaign against the RSS
gives out the motive. We also understand that the murder plot issue
was also discussed in the Maharashtra Assembly earlier last year.

The RSS had decided, in good faith, to leave the issue to the MATS and
the Maharashtra and Central Governments. But with the MATS criminally
forsaking its basic duty under the law and the governments at the
State and at the Centre keeping silent about it, the RSS is taking
appropriate legal advice about its future course of action.

We were shocked when the involvement of Col Purohit in the Malegaon

case and in the conspiracy against the RSS came to our notice. But
because the issue was sensitive, we had left it to the government to
probe his role fully and truthfully. But, as that has not happened, we
bring out here the circumstantial evidence that shows that Col Purohit
had been playing a political role. We would like to mention how Col
Purohit had mysteriously attempted to divide the RSS and its friendly
organisations from within. Using his position and his nationalist
ideas, he began accessing senior RSS functionaries from the year 2005.
Claiming to possess exclusive intelligence no one else had access to,
he and his associates planted canards like, that Indresh Kumar was an
ISI agent and that the top B.TP leaders were conspiring to harm the
leaders of the RSS associates. It took a while for the stunned leaders
to realize that Col Purohit and his associates were actually
attempting to divide and weaken the RSS and its friendly organisations
from within.
We believe that Col Purohit's role was political and he was not acting
on his own. Thorough probe is needed to find out those behind him in
his attempts to divide the RSS and its friendly organisations from
within. This larger political conspiracy cannot be unraveled by mere
criminal investigation. Col Purohit had been aggressively anti-BJP and
anti-RSS as the Malegaon case evidence brings out. Hence arises the
issue about his hidden political connections and agenda. It is
needless to say that only those who would politically benefit from
such strategies could have been behind him. But, only a thorough,
independent investigation will expose his political agenda and
connections. Similar probe is also required against Dayanand Pandey,
whose role is equally mysterious. Otherwise the full truth would
remain buried.

The government is fully aware that the RSS and its associate
organisations carry out nation-building work all over the country and
beyond, in diverse fields and in the remotest areas and among the most
distanced people. Many attempts in the past to impede the RSS work
have miserably failed. A galaxy of national leaders including Dr
Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, Jayaprakash Narayan, Acharya Vinoba Bhave,
Acharya Kripalani, Pandit Madanmohan Malaviya, Bharat Ratna Bhagwan
Das, Sardar Vallabhai Patel, Dr Zakir Hussain, Lai Bahadur Shastri and
General Kariappa have participated in the functions of the RSS,
blessed and praised its work. Even Pandit Nehru, who had serious
differences with the RSS, finally invited its Swayamsevaks to
participate in the Republic Day Parade in January 1963. The commitment
of the RSS to our nation and its Constitution is explicit and
absolute. It is in keeping with this spirit that I had stated in my
statement on 1 May 2010 in the wake of the arrest of the RSS Pracharak
Shri Devender Gupta that we would extend all co-operation to the
investigation, but also exhorted that the RSS wanted a thorough and
transparent probe into the cases.

And we did extend all cooperation to the agencies in the last several
months, but only to find that the agencies were intentionally
subjecting our cadre to harassment, indignity and even character
assassination. Their probe has ceased to be a criminal investigation,
and become an alibi for political agenda and calumny against the RSS.
There is a political background to this campaign against the RSS. For
the past year and more, a senior general secretary of the ruling
Congress party has been viciously campaigning against what he called
as "saffron terror". On this basis the ruling party also has asked for
investigation into the RSS itself, thus formalizing the political
mission against the RSS.

It is in this background that I considered it my duty to bring to your

notice the larger conspiracy against the RSS, not just a conspiracy to
eliminate the RSS leaders. We demand that the government institute an
impartial and independent inquiry into the hidden mission of Col
Purohit, Dayanand Pandey and their associates. Given the hostility of
the ruling party and the way the investigative agencies have conducted
the probe so far, no government agency today has the credibility to
undertake this task. We therefore urge that the inquiry should be
independent. We trust that the hon'ble Prime Minister will take a fair
and objective view and order impartial inquiry into

(a) The plot to assassinate the RSS leaders;

(b) Why did the MATS suppress and not investigate that plot?

(c) What is the political role and agenda of Col Purohit, Dayanand
Pandey and their associates like Dr. R. P. Singh?

(d) Who were behind them in their mission?

Without impartial inquest, answers to these questions and consequently

the full truth would not come out.

The RSS, a social organisation, does not intensely interact with the
political establishment except through its service activities. So
there are not many occasions for the RSS to write to or meet with the
hon'ble Prime Minister. Therefore I am not very happy that in my first
ever letter I have been constrained to bring to your attention facts
which are not entirely pleasant. Also, since the matter is very
important as the facts mentioned in the letter bring out, the letter
is longer than I would have liked it to be. But I am sure you would
find time amid your pressing national duties, to apply mind to the
facts and issues mentioned in this letter and act appropriately.

The seriousness of the matter calls for a meeting with you in person
at a mutually convenient time.

With respectful regards

Yours sincerely,

Suresh (Bhayya) Joshi

Sarkaryavah, RSS
