‘Those who created the bogey of Hindu terrorism, including Congress, must apologise’: Nitin Shinde, State President, Hindu Ekta Andolan

The Malegaon blast marked the first attempt in the country to label Hindus and devout Hindus as terrorists. They were framed in false cases, severely harassed, and beaten. The Court’s verdict has exposed the conspiracy laid during the Congress regime. All those, including Congress, who created the false narrative of Hindu terrorism must now publicly apologise to Hindus.

Not just in the Malegaon blast, but during the Congress era, the devout Hindu activists, leaders, and office bearers were implicated in various cases with false charges and branded as terrorists. Although justice was delayed for Sadhvi Pragya Singh, Colonel Purohit, and others in the Malegaon blast case, the judiciary has finally delivered the correct verdict.

‘Innocent Hindus were imprisoned and defamed due to Congress’ conspiracy’ : Kishor Ghatge, Deputy District Chief, Shiv Sena, Kolhapur

Everyone has been acquitted in this case, yet innocent Hindus were forced to stay in jail and suffered defamation due to Congress’ conspiracy. Who will compensate them for the years lost in prison? This verdict has exposed those who tried to gain political mileage from the Malegaon incident. The investigative agencies must now be probed—were they working under any political pressure?

PM Modi has rightly said, ‘True upliftment of India will begin only after it is free of Congress’. For decades, Hindus, their Dharma, and Deities were insulted. Congress even submitted an affidavit denying Shriram’s birth in India. It was this despicable Congress that coined the term ‘saffron terrorism’, thus insulting the entire Hindu faith. But now, Congress is perishing, reaping the fruits of its karma. This verdict proves Hindu terrorism never existed. We salute all those brave soldiers who endured humiliation and torture. As followers of the Sanatan (eternal) Vedic Hindu Dharma, we are steadily moving toward establishing a Hindu Rashtra.

This verdict is a victory of Sanatan Dharma. Some anti-Hindu elements plotted to defame Hinduism. People in power at the time conspired against the devout Hindus. The acquittal of all accused is a true victory. ‘Saffron terror’ was a fabrication. We welcome the verdict. False charges and fake evidence were used to defame Hindu Dharma and its adherents.

‘Truth has triumphed and Congress’ vile game has been exposed’: Medha Kulkarni, MP, BJP

This is not just a victory for Sadhvi Pragya Singh or Lt. Col. Purohit, but a victory for truth. The Congress used the term ‘Saffron terrorism’ to mentally devastate India’s majority peace-loving Hindus, all for vote-bank politics. But as the saying goes, ‘Truth may suffer but will never be defeated’. Finally, truth has triumphed, and Congress’s vile strategy has failed. Congratulations to all who fought for truth in this case, including Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, Lt. Col. Prasad Purohit, and the other accused. Bharat Mata ki Jai!

Despite the absence of any evidence, the lives of the accused in the Malegaon case were destroyed. Will those responsible for this ever be punished? Congress promoted the false narrative of ‘saffron terror’. Now all Hindus must resolve to never vote for a Congress candidate. Congress’ effort to defame Hindus was nothing short of a conspiracy. They spread hatred and contempt toward an innocent community. Hindus must now demand a permanent ban on Congress and the leaders who committed this heinous act.

Satyameva Jayate! The conspiracy to label innocent Hindu nationalists as terrorists and establish a false narrative of “saffron terror” by the then government has now been exposed to the world. Criminal charges equivalent to treason must now be filed against all investigative officers, ministers, and officials who participated in defaming the nation and Hindu culture.

Today’s verdict in the Malegaon bomb blast case is heartening. Some people were trying to prove the existence of ‘Saffron terrorism’. The Court has exposed those who deliberately tried to label devout Hindus as terrorists in this narrative. However, how will the 17 valuable years lost from these individuals’ lives ever be compensated?

‘Congress must pay for its sins’: Abhijit Jog, Noted Author, Pune

The narrative of ‘saffron terrorism’ was a fabricated lie. Congress leaders like P. Chidambaram and Sushilkumar Shinde, along with certain Police officers under their influence, deliberately implicated Col. Prasad Purohit, Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, and five other accused in the Malegaon case in 2009. The Court has now acquitted them.

Truth may be troubled, but it cannot be defeated.

Col. Purohit, who risked his life for the country, spent 17 years of his prime under the shadow of defamation as an accused. Who will compensate him?

While patriots were imprisoned, terrorists were welcomed. Congress must be held accountable for this sin.
