Mumbai: A former RSS functionary from Mumbai, Yashwant Shinde has made sensational claims against the RSS alleging that the 2006 Patbandhare Nagar bomb blasts were done by the RSS to ensure the victory of the BJP in elections.
Shinde has filed an application in a Nanded court and has offered to present himself as the witness of the case and to share all the information related to the blasts.
In a video that has shaken the political circles of the country, Shinde claimed that he has been a member of the BHP, Bajrang Dal, and RSS since 1995. He has further claimed that he had attended the training along with Himanshu Panse and 20 others who were killed in the Nanded bomb blasts.
Yashwant Shinde has said that he had gone to Nanded several times to meet Himanshu Panse and told him not to do so.
"As the RSS and VHP's plan of causing blasts throughout the country was not as successful as was expected the BJP was not politically benefitted. Consequently, in the 2004 elections, the Congress party got the majority. Persons like Milind Parande who were the main conspirators were scared and went underground, but they continued hatching conspiracies secretly. By remaining underground they carried out many bomb blasts across the country and with the help of biased police and one-sided media blamed them on Muslims. That helped them in 2014 Loksabha elections," the affidavit filed by Shinde reads.
Congress Chief Spokesperson Pawan Khera took to his official Twitter account and targeted the BJP after Shinde released the video and wrote what can be bigger breaking news than this.
“Yashwant Shinde, a pracharak of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, has filed an affidavit exposing the horrific information about the anti-national acts of the Sangh. How was a conspiracy hatched to blast the whole country, who were involved in it? What can be bigger breaking news than this?” Pawan Khera wrote in his tweet.
Khera’s tweet was followed by another senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh’s tweet on the matter. Singh noted that Shinde had filed the affidavit with utmost courage and that his life can be in danger.
Digvijay Singh tweeted, “Yashwant Shinde has given the affidavit with utmost courage. The people whose names have been taken by Yashwant Shinde are people of criminal nature. Yashwant’s life may be in danger after this statement. Commissioner of Police Mumbai should immediately make elaborate arrangements for the security of Yashwant.”

यशवंत शिंदे ने बेहद साहस के साथ शपथपत्र दिया है। जिन लोगों के नाम यशवंत शिंदे ने लिया है यह अपराधिक प्रवृत्ति के लोग हैं। इस बयान के बाद यशवंत की जान को खतरा हो सकता है। कमिश्नर पुलिस मुंबई को तत्काल यशवंत की सुरक्षा के पुख़्ता इंतज़ाम करना चाहिए।@INCIndia@Jairam_Ramesh@RSSorg https://t.co/Q4XGEhrrvZ

Panaji (PTI): The Bombay High Court on Monday converted a civil suit against Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub into a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) saying "someone has to be held accountable" for the tragedy in which 25 people were killed.In a stern observation, Goa bench of the High Court of Justices Sarang Kotwal and Ashish Chavan said the local panchayat had "failed to take suo motu cognisance" of the club and had taken "no action despite complaints."
The division bench directed the Goa government to file a detailed reply on the permissions granted to the nightclub.
The High Court, while fixing January 8 as the next date of hearing, pointed out that commercial operations were continuing in the structure despite it having been served a demolition order.
The original petition was filed after the December 6 tragedy by Pradeep Ghadi Amonkar and Sunil Divkar, the owners of the land on which the nightclub was operating.

Advocate Rohit Bras de Sa, the lawyer representing the petitioner, was made amicus curiae in the matter and has been asked to file a detailed affidavit in the matter.
In their petition, Amonkar and Divkar highlighted "the alarming pattern of statutory violations that have remained inadequately addressed despite multiple complaints, inspections, show-cause notices, and even a demolition order".
They contended that these violations posed "immediate threats to public safety, ecological integrity, and the rule of law in the state of Goa."
Investigations by multiple agencies into the nightclub fire have revealed various irregularities, including lack of permissions to operate the nightclub.
The Goa police arrested five managers and staff members of the club, while co-owners Gaurav Luthra and Saurabh Luthra have been detained in Thailand after they fled the country.
