Criminals let off while Saints held in Jail - Kailash Vijayvargiya

A sharp rebuke and analysis of present day law and order situation in India, authored by one of the most prominent member of our society today, reveals the disparity in execution of laws and trials for two far-reaching individuals, one a 77 years old saint, now reduced to commute on wheelchair is denied bail whereas a criminal turned politician already convicted and awaiting trials under various cases is handed bail on a platter. Why has Judicial System and the Police been reduced to this opposing channels of execution viz being forced to let off a criminal walk-free while intruding over human rights of a septuagenarian saint, writes and provokes Kailash Vijayvargiya.

The article by Kailash Vijayvargiya, BJP's National Secretary is titled, ''Sant Jail Mein, Don Bahar" (literal translation, Saint inside Jail while Criminals walk free). Below is the reproduction of the article in English, which was originally published in by Dabang Dunia Newspaper in Hindi.

Shahabuddin, the kingpin criminal responsible for highhandedly making Lalu Yadav's stint in Bihar as Jungle Raj is now out from Bhagalpur Jail after getting bail from High Court. Shahabuddin who is not yet 50 years in age, has amassed 56 Criminal cases registered on himself. Citizens of Bihar are plunged in panic and fear with bail of Shahabuddin, the synonym of terror in Bihar. The people responsible for putting up case against Shahabuddin are now too distraught to even speak. Due to the horror struck by Shahabuddin, people have even forgotten that Siwan was also the birth place of the country's first President, Babu Rajendra Prasad. Now people say, taking Shahabuddin name is as good as speaking of Siwan and vice-versa. Bailing out of such dreaded murderer is indeed surprising. On one hand courts are not giving bail since months to such people , who have had cases put on them out of sheer enmity whereas on the other hand, we have Shahabuddin freely praising Lalu Yadav, member of star alliance-government in Bihar getting Bail. The bail also assimilates doings of Bihar's government and Police.

The next question arising after handing over of bail by the court to Shahabuddin, is as to why has old aged saint Asharam Bapu, jailed in Jodhpur since three years not given bail ? Last Month, Rajasthan High Court rejected bail for Sant Asharam the ninth time. After that, Supreme Court too denied from giving Asharam Bapu any relief. The SC had said, any plea or thoughts would only be entertained after All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) submits its medical investigation report. Its SC ruling that until AIIMS undergoes its medical investigation, and a copy of the medical report is presented before the court, no plea for bail can be entertained. AIIMS had also expressed its censure over sending a panel of members to Jodhpur for investigation. The reason cited by AIIMS to Supreme Court was, a panel of seven members has been constituted and sending all seven members to Jodhpur was not possible given day-to-day activities of Delhi AIIMS Unit. So, now in this case, Sant Asharam would have to travel in flight from Jodhpur to Delhi. Now whenever Sant Asharam would come to Delhi, Investigation would ensue. When would results finally come. Nothing can be said! One of the arguments cited in bail application from Sant Asharam lodged in Jail since three years is, all primary witness have already completed their testimony. The argument put forth from Saint Asharam also entails that in 2015, Supreme Court itself had ruled out that bail application can be filed after trial completion of all primary witnesses. Such that, any situation to influence witness is now out of scope. Even in absence of any critical illness, Saint Asharam could have been awarded bail by court seeing his old age on humanitarian grounds, but that did not happen.

Recently, few rulings by Supreme Court has attracted widespread comments. Especially, restrictions on constructing Dahi-Handi Pyramid in Janmashtami celebrations in Maharashtra from exceeding 20 feet in heights has been put. Supreme Court has kept intact the rulings of Bombay High Court on the same. In addition to this, the Supreme Court has also barred the inclusion of less than 18 years old Gopala in these human pyramid group. Thus, Dahi Handi exceeding 20 feet in heights could not be put. While, many people could also see that Supreme Court's rulings were not observed at various places. Can Supreme Court interfere with such brazen attitude in internal rulings of other religions? In the case of Triple Talaq, Muslim Representatives have summarised and answered in short stout words that - Court cannot interfere in matters of their religious rulings. In spite of alike political manoeuvres, court have dished out two separate judicial stands! Imposition of President Rule in Uttarakhand by Modi Government has been revoked by Uttarakhand  HC citing misuse of Constitutional Clause 356. Commenting harshly over this, Chief Justice Joseph had rebuked - 'Decisions taken by President and Government can also be wrong'. The harsh rebuttal over the President had invited widespread outcry then. Arunachal Pradesh had fallen due to switching of sides between legislators. Eventually, it was so observed that Nabam Tuki could not get re-elected to post of Chief Minister due to animosity, his party legislators held for him.

Rajasthan High Court and Supreme Court reject bail application of old aged and ailing saint Asharam but Shahabuddin alleged under heinous crimes is let off. The cases that are plying on Shahabuddin are such that, people are frightened by just listening to the details. Shahabuddin has already been convicted and punished with Life Imprisonment. On 16th of August, 2004 two sons of local businessman Chadrakeshwar or Chanda Babu of Siwan, were abducted and bathed in Acid. Both dead. The primafacie eye-witness of this entire episode - Chanda Babu's eldest son 36 years old Rajiv Roshan was murdered on 16 June, 2014 after being shot at by assailants, while the trial was in progress. Eight of the cases against him have resulted into sentence ranging from 1 year to life imprisonment for him in Jail.

In March of 1997, Leader of Jawahar Lal Nehru Student Union, Chandrashekhar was riddled with bullets shots at Nukkad Sabha (Street Corner Meeting) of CPM; Communist Party of India (Marxist). Shahabuddin was sentenced to Life Imprisonment in case of abduction and murder of Party Volunteer, Chote Lal Gupta of CPI; Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist). Police recovered large amounts of foreign branded fireworks from dens of Shahabuddin. The credit to first public use of AK-74 in Bihar's Jungle Raj also goes to Shahabuddin. Entrant in world of criminality since 19 years of age, Shahabuddin was most recently also named for alleged involvement in murder of Journalist Rajdev Ranjan. Journalist had gathered some crucial info which could have exposed Shahabuddin before all.

Its probable that High Court was forced to give bail to Shahabuddin due to clever planning by Nitish led government, but court's rulings has spread widespread disconcert and fear amongst general public as well as the eye-witnesses. Bihar Unit of BJP; Bhartiya Janata Party has submitted an memorandum to Governor of the State requesting Shahabuddin to be led out of Bihar. At least, remaining citizens of Bihar would remain in peace with denial of (his) entry in Bihar. One big truth of this case is also this, that Shahabuddin was planning and executing various crimes while being lodged from Bhagalpur Jail. This was the big revelation that was planned by Rajdev Ranjan, but instead the journalist himself was executed.

3 years of Asharam Bapu in Jail, Black Day on 31 August

Black Day for followers of Asaram Bapu

 

31st August brings with itself a flood of memories and scenes involving helplessness, confusion, anger and thick silent wave of tearful prayers. This night, 3 years back, a convoy of 600+ policemen surrounded Indore Ashram of Saint Asaram Bapu and arrested him by backdoor stealth. This day also marks the last public discourse of Saint Asaram Bapu before going to Jail. We were beaten, lied, forced and abused. All because, Hinduism had to be dishonored and destroyed. Please don't get me wrong, Asaram Bapu has not been arrested because he is a criminal, Asaram Bapu has been arrested because he is a Hindu.

 

Revisiting 31 August, 2013 - Facts and Files

 

From a long time various allegations have been levied upon Asaram Bapu and ashram(s) in order to defame and tamper his popularity. Yet every previous implications has been discarded in court of law and/or by CBI. Now, under this fresh pre-planned imprecation a girl from Shahjahapur (U.P.) has been made the pawn on the scene.

Some facts that prove why all implications are baseless, implanted and why Asaram Bapu arrest on 31st August was a Black Day for Hinduism.

#1 Girl has claimed charges of molestation and improper conduct, yet all of major media houses and leading newspapers have showed and publicized that it was "rape" and also that charge of "rape" has been attested by medical reports.  Whereas the truth is that girl has made no mention of 'rape' in FIR and medical reports actually reject / disprove all such charges. Jodhpur police had accepted in a press conference that Delhi police has registered the case on erroneous charges, and levied charges which don't match with girl's statement in FIR. Yet blatant advertising by media of false charges has hurt the sentiments of millions of followers of Bapu. Isn't this a grave folly on part of both media and police?

#2 Girl's family registers FIR only after 5 days from mentioned date in FIR. Why not immediately ? [Were they and conspirators, cross-checking and making allowances for lapses in their story this 5 days ?]

#3 Girl lives in Shahjahapur [UP],   she claims the incident to be of Jodhpur[Raj]   but registers an FIR at Delhi. This reality itself gives indications at pre-arranged procedure as opposed to normal occurrence ! [Were all police headquarters on vacations between Jodhpur-Shahjahapur]. [Were all police stations on vacations between Jodhpur-Shahjahapur].

#4 As soon as girl entered Manai Farm House, she was repeatedly heard to be telling "I want to see Bapuji's Kutia (cottage)". This means that it was quite essential for her to go near the cottage in order to validate her claims later.

#5 The room which girl implicates in her FIR is situated only at a distance of 50-60 ft from gates of cottage's enclosure. Girl claims that her mother was sitting on gate of Cottage. [Why was the Mother sitting there peacefully since one hour and a half, while her daughter was as theorized locked in-front of her inside a dark room?] Being in a very calm area, shouts of even a 6 year old is bound to be heard in range of 500 ft. On top of all this girl claims in FIR, that she was repeatedly shouting and crying. How come then shouts of 18 year old couldn't reach her mother sitting only 60 ft apart ? The room in which her father stayed is at a distance of 200 ft, above farm house owner's room. More than 10 people were staying with farm house's owner at that time; why then no one has heard anything ?

#6 Girl tells in her FIR that when she shouted , Bapu JI closed her mouth with his one hand and kept caressing her for 1-1.5 hrs ? How can someone do this for 1-1.5 hr ?

#7 Girl tells that she immediately met her mother and father after this incident. How come she was did not speak anything then? [or is it that she never was locked, inside or out?] How could parents not gauge their daughter's reaction or mental state. A girl allegedly in locks for one and half hours, calmly goes out to her parents. Parents and the Girl then go and sleep peacefully. Wow!

#8 Women staying in farm house have told that on day of assumed incident around 9:30 at night, first girl's father then after 2-3 min mother and wife enter the house (ground floor), take water and go to sleep on upper apartments. As is the routine the inmates locked the (only) gate connecting two floors from inside (ground floor) and they too retire to sleep. How and when did the incident happen ? [Maybe girl escaped by flying through sky ?]

#9 On night of 15/8/13 at 8 pm girls' friend Kritika told girl and her mother to go to their house which is nearby for night's stay as all women were staying there. Also some more brother devotees were expected to arrive at night time, so it'll be easy for them to stay in farm house. The girl, Immediately sensing grave danger to her plan blurted out "if there will be no space in house, I'll sleep on terrace but i won't leave this place and go". This firmly proves that by registering her attendance in night ; she had to construct the base of her story.

#10 When on morning of 16, girl and her family joined inmates on breakfast table she was quite happy and certainly normal. She then happily laughed and played with 1.5 yr old grand-son of house for quite some time.[No fear , No gloom possibly jubilation over partial success of her plans].

#11 Before leaving Chindwara Gurukul [of shri asaramji bapu ashram] she said to her friends that : "I will never return to this Gurukul and shake the foundations of this establishment" .This also hints at planning and plots in her brain.

#12 On evening of 14th while Bapu Ji was going out for evening walk, Bapu Ji upon request of sadhaks allowed them to go near his cottage and have darshan. Girl, her mother along-with many other went to cottage and circumambulate it. The same description of interiors of cottage as specified by girl in FIR, has been told by all others present upon being asked ? Has then this incident happened with all persons present ?

Will case against Asharam Bapu survive?

If you are any fan of Dr Subramanian Swamy, you would know long back that this case is a sham and legally baseless. He has tweeted and given various interview detailing out his most vocal support in favor of Bapu Ji. The only purpose this case had to serve was to bring down repute of Asaram Bapu in particular and Hindu Saints and Leaders in general.

All these above facts prove that Asaram ji Bapu is being maligned and targeted under pre-planned conspiracy. It is high time we citizens of India take cognizance of the fact and strive to free Asaram Bapu from undue judicial custody since three years in Jail. 

Freedom of Expression - Virtues, Limits and Critics

This is a reproduction of exact letter authored by Narayan Sai from Surat Lajpore Jail. This one letter here sounds so close and special because seeing India’s current trends and behavior, this letter couldn’t have come at a better time that now when India stands at the juncture of political insecurity and forbearance. We hope this letter touches your heart as it has touched mine. 

Letter on Freedom of Expression

I express my views on freedom of expression as many authors and thinkers have opined their minds on the same.

Voltaire has said this on freedom of speech,‘Whatever you say, it may be to my extreme dislike but still, you have full rights to say the things that you want to say. If someone tries to deprive you of this, your right I am decided to fight for you.’

I consider that people with unique political tendencies and each college of ideas must have their freedom of expression because this is what a democracy is, but our country today is flooded with such excessive freedom of expression.

Anti-social elements too are being given countrywide systems to propagate their really anti-national perspectives which at the same time as being dangerous to country additionally imparts an incorrect message to our youths. Country's environs are being spoiled.

Again and again, I feel that India is far more endangered, not with people outside her boundaries but with such people residing within and resiliently trying forth to weaken our strong roots. More than attacks emanating from across boundaries, some people dwelling interior our country bring us until arms of defeat. Only through regulating such people correctly through criminal/constitutional means can this country be saved.

None can be given permissions to attack this country's basis of foundation under the guise of 'freedom of expression'. People have got to be cautious against this and protect and reassert their unity for this country across personal diversity. Our country is foremost - rest all things can come afterwards.

मैं अभिव्यक्ति की स्वतंत्रता के बारे में अपना मत व्यक्त करता हूँ चूँकि इस विषय पर अनेकों लेखको चिंतको ने अपना मत व्यक्त किया है।

अभिव्यक्ति की स्वतंत्रता को लेकर वाल्तेयर ने कहा है की आप जो भी कहते हैं वह मुझे बिल्कुल भी पसंद नहीं है लेकिन आपको वह बात कहने का पूरा अधिकार है जो आप कहना चाहते हैं। यदि कोई आपको आपके इस अधिकार से वंचित करना चाहता है तो मैं आपके लिए संघर्ष करूंगा ।

मैं मानता हूँ की तमाम राजनीतिक दलों के प्रति रुझान रखने वालो और सभी विचार धाराओं के लोगों को अभिव्यक्ति की स्वतंत्रता मिलनी चाहिए यही लोकतंत्र है लेकिन हमारे देश में इस तरह की आज़ादी की अधिकता हो चुकी हैं।

असामाजिक तत्वों को भी अपने देश विरोधी विचारों को अभिव्यक्त करने के लिए मंच मिल रहा है जो देश के लिए खतरनाक हो सकता है और ऐसा होने से युवाओं में गलत संदेश जाता हैं। देश का महौल खराब होता है।

कभी कभी ऐसा लगता है कि देश को सबसे बड़ा खतरा बाहरी लोगों से नहीं है लेकिन भीतर के ऐसे लोगों से है जो हमारी मजबूत जड़ों को कमजोर करने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं। सीमापर से होने वाले हमलों से ज्यादा देश के भीतर रहने वाले कुछ लोग देश को  हराते हैं। इनको सही तरीके से नियंत्रित करके ही देशको बचाया जा सकता है ।

अभिव्यक्ति कि स्वतंत्रता के नाम पर देशके मूलाधार पर चोट करने की इजाजत किसी को भी नहीं दी जा सकती। लोगों को इससे सचेत रहना होगा और विविधता में एकता के जरिये देशकी अखंडता की रक्षा करनी होगी । राष्ट्र पहले है - बाकी चीजे बाद मे ।

Letter cuts through Amyelous Views of anti-Nationals

Amidst cries and howls of separatists and dim witted media journalists and their doted struggling to complete graduation super-heroes this decided and focused view on “freedom of expression” is such a refreshing and laudable change. I salute the contents of this letter which apart from being a testimony to Indian Rishi Paramapara (Ancient Tradition upheld by Sages and Saints), its austerity and intellect, is also cent percent right in its execution. Indian historic texts and manuscripts are full of such instances when during times of terror, chaos, political inactivity and decline of cultural and heritage India, some men of great intellect and penance have intercepted and tried to transcend and awaken the masses. I believe that the moment is upon us when we recognize leaders amongst us and faithfully strive to bring back India her glory and shine.

Subramanian Swamy : Interview Transcript 3

This transcript of Dr Subramanian Swamy addressing Asharam Bapu disciples is compiled from three different sources of Dr Swamy's visit to Aurangabad, India (MH). The specialty of this address by him lies in simplicity of its home setup and unhurried, detailed exposition on various intrinsic details of Spiritual Guru Asharam Bapu's Jodhpur case.

Dr Subramanian Swamy speaks: 

Friends, wherever I go in or outside India. I find many devotees of Asharam Bapu. Alarmed by such huge number of his disciples; he has been arrested on a false case by misusing political powers and is still in jail. I have known Asharam Bapu personally for many years. Asharam Bapu resisted and put on hold christian missionaries who had arrived from foreign countries to help accelerate conversions in India. He fouled ploys of converting poor people in lieu of monetary benefits, in tribal Gujarat and other areas. This stirred anger and unrest in Vatican. They conveyed this to Sonia Gandhi. Only after this, various ways to defame Asharam Bapu have been initiated. Once, i coincidentally met him while travelling together in plane. I told him that people at helm of power are irritated by him. They can do anything. But Bapu ji was not in fear of anyone or anything. He had extreme faith on God. And eventually my doubting manifested as true.

After bail application had been rejected 3-4 times. I received a message, requesting me to come to Jodhpur jail to meet Babaji. Hence, i went. This was in last May. I met him inside jail and he said, i have declined everyone else. I want you to finish this case. Its my firm belief, that your proceedings would make sure justice to prevail. I told him, bail has already been turned down, rejected four times. So, when i go in for the fifth time in-spite of fact that we will be victorious in the end, i cant vouch for immediate results. Then i read about the case. I noticed, accuser girl after 5 days of said incidence did not file a report at Jodhpur Jail instead she did so at Sarojini Nagar, Delhi. This never happens. Delhi police should have immediately reverted, that you should file report at same claimed place of accusation (Jodhpur). But then Congress government would have added its pressure and made report filed at Delhi. Delhi police sent all relevant documents and report to Jodhpur, where Gehlot (Congress Party) was the CM and he forcibly arrested Bapu ji. Later, newly constructed stories were added to FIR freshly prepared by Jodhpur. It was then that Jodhpur police added clauses that she is below 18 years of age, though rape has not taken place but he touched this girl. Girl says Asharam Bapu touched him yet no one saw it. Her Mother is sitting just outside the door, had the girl shouted (as claimed by her), undoubtedly mother would have come inside. It is now revealed through analysis of telephonic records of the girl's phone that, "said time at which she claims bapu ji touched her, she was not even at alleged place of incident. She was in fact on a long call with one of her friend, who is boy on telephone" Telephonic records show she was at some other place. At the same time, Bapu ji too was actually present at some marriage function as chief guest for the ceremony. Even, Asharam Bapu was not there. This case should be rejected with no delay. (Clapping)

When i went in for bail. I enlisted all judgements by Supreme Court. Person such as Tarun Tejpal, who had been caught red-handed (on CCTV) was given bail in 3 months. Lalu yadav got bail even after being convicted. Just on an appeal. Jaylalitha too could get bail. Everyone is getting bail. And Supreme Court has repeatedly said that,'Jail is exception - Bail is the rule'. Then why is not he being given bail ? Being Check-mate thus, judiciary searched for a new excuse; It told that when all the witnesses have been disposed off after giving statements in court, we are ready to give a bail, this i surmised from various supreme court orders. 

Sonia Gandhi framed Asharam ji Bapu, now exposed by Subramanian Swamy

Then i went in to Jodhpur Jail, out of six principal witnesses 5 have given their statements in court. Sixth one is a woman, she had been served summoned for 8 times but she did not turn up. Police in its reports writes that her whereabouts are unknown, we do not know where she lives. She has changed her residence. On 1st July too she did not turn up. I'm thinking of going again to Jodhpur or Supreme Court. I'm in deliberation over this with my juniors and team. We should be done deciding within this week. I do not think there is much delay now (for Asaram Bapu's acquittal). I would also like to tell all - this case too wont stand. (Clapping) 

Subramanian Swamy also said that Bapu ji is striving to protect Hindu Dhrama since last many years. May be His crime was that He was an obstruction to proselytization. Bapu ji has striven a lot for sustenance of Hindu Dharma. We (Hindus) do not have ill feelings towards anyone. In this country, we have worked for so many people. Yahudis, who are also called Jews have been harassed and prosecuted everywhere in this world but India, is the only country where they were not abused.

Hence, the first proposal that was passed in the parliament of Israel after its formation was - Hail to you, O Great India. You have been the only country where Jews were never persecuted or killed. Hitler killed 6 million Jews in gas chambers. When Islam invaded Iran , the native Parsis (one of Zoroastrian fire worshipping communities ) were maltreated .They escaped to all parts of the world but are alive even today only in India. They are everywhere in India. Our Supreme Court Chief Justice -S. H. Kapadia is a Parsi. Commander in Chief Sam Manekshaw too was parsi. Attorney- General Soli Sorabjee too is a Parsi. They are everywhere in India. Their population is a mere 60,000 but still they never faced any trouble in India. When British were leaving India they said to the Parsis - you are so less in numbers and Hindus have an staggering majority. We'll provide you reservations like that provided to Anglo-Indian community. They said Hindus have looked after us for a 1000 years .We do not need you please go away from this country. This is our culture.

Christians want to change this inherent culture by conversion. World has by today, seen 40 different major cultures. Such as that of Rome, Greece, Egypt, Mesopotamia . But all of these are extinct now. Out of 40 - 35 have been lost. No one should forget that only Hindu Culture has outlived all. This is so because the base of our religion does not find its roots unto some prophet or even saints, All our scriptures that our saints penned down has been after direct communion with god. We cannot pin down our paths to one single prophet or messenger. When scope for change arises, barring Vedas everything else can be changed (to reflect present socio-cultural ethos) by mutual discussion or debate. So Bapu ji has struggled a lot for protecting such Hindu dharma & culture. Stay strong ,don't be disheartened. There are many examples in our history .Shri Ramachandraji was exiled for 14 years. why ? else demon Ravana could not have been killed. For very similar reasons He went to jail. You'll get to know it when Bapu ji comes out. Do not worry , I'll not leave this case till He is out of the jail
