Panaji: Sanatan Saunstha (SS), the Right
Wing Hindu organisation, on Saturday termed the decision to hand
over the Margao bomb blast case to National Investigation
Agency (NIA) as a desperate attempt to indict it in the case.
"Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Goa Police made
every attempt to gather evidence against Sanatan Saunstha in
the blast case but they achieved nothing," Sanatan Prabhat,
SS`s mouthpiece, wrote in today`s edition.
The organisation said that the case is transferred to NIA
to make sure that Sanatan is indicted in the offence by hook
or crook.
"How would they accuse Sanatan when the institution is
not involved in the case? First it was local police, later
anti-terrorist squads of different states and now NIA. The
people in power have continuously harassed Sanatan," the
newspaper said.
"Sanatan will prove its innocence at the end of all this
process. There is no basis to act against us," it said adding
the state government may still suggest the union government to
impose ban on it.
The Margao bomb blast on October 16 had two of SS`s
activists killed when they were ferrying explosives. The
police arrested four people in connection with the case, all
having affiliation to SS.
