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.”

Palanpur, Nov 8: A 15-year-old girl was gang-raped allegedly by six men in Gujarat's Banaskantha district, a police official said on Friday.

The incident took place in Ambaji town on November 5, Inspector RB Gohil said.

"A case was registered at Ambaji police station on November 6. No one has been arrested as yet," he said.

As per the FIR, the girl was walking to her uncle's house in the evening when a man identified as Lala Parmar, who was known to her, offered her a lift on his two-wheeler.

Parmar took her to a secluded place along Chapri road where he and five associates allegedly raped her and then fled when she fell unconscious, police said.

Meanwhile, Geniben Thakor, the Congress lone Lok Sabha MP from Gujarat, hit out at the BJP government in the state.

"The law and order situation in Gujarat has deteriorated. Several such incidents have taken place recently. The BJP government's Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi is busy in the poll campaign here. If Sanghavi had concentrated on his work and used sufficient number of police force to protect people, this tragedy would not have occurred," Thakor said.

She was referring to the ongoing campaign for the upcoming November bypoll to Vav assembly seat in Banaskantha district.

The seat fell vacant after Thakor, on being elected as Banaskantha Lok Sabha MP, resigned as MLA.
