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.”

“The department has stopped the salaries of five teachers and issued show-cause notices to other staff members in connection with the incident,” he said.
The minister said that further action would be taken against teachers or staff if negligence in duty was established.
School and Mass Education Secretary N Thirumala Naik said three of the injured students were undergoing treatment at a hospital in Rayagada, while one critically injured student has been shifted to SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack.
The school headmaster had lodged a complaint at Muniguda police station on Monday. Police have recorded statements of the injured students, officials said.
According to preliminary findings, the incident occurred when a classmate of the injured students allegedly threw colour thinner, an inflammable substance, onto a fire that had been lit by the students on the school building’s balcony.
Muniguda police station in-charge inspector Saudamini Behera said the students were playing on the school roof around 2 pm on Monday when they found a bottle of thinner stored there.
They allegedly poured it on the floor and set it on fire using a matchstick. One of the boys later added more thinner, causing the flames to flare up and injure four students, she said.
