مسکراہٹ میں ہر اک درد چھپا لیتے ہیں
وہ جو فٹ پاتھ پہ محلوں کا مزہ لیتے ہیں
جب سہارا نہیں ملتا ہے کسی کا ہم کو
ہم ترے غم کو مددگار بنا لیتے ہیں
چاند محلوں کی چھتوں پر سے گزر جاتا ہے
ہم چراغوں میں لہو اپنا جلا لیتے ہیں
شب کی تنہائی میں جب یاد ستاتی ہے تری
خون دل سے تری تصویر بنا لیتے ہیں
دل پہ جس وقت بھی ہوتی ہے غموں کی یورش
اپنا چہرہ تری زلفوں میں چھپا لیتے ہیں
----------------------------
مقدس فکر کے حامل عقیدے ٹوٹ جاتے ہیں
ذرا سی بدگمانی ہو تو رشتے ٹوٹ جاتے ہیں
محبت بخش دیتی ہے اخوّت خاندانوں کو
سیاست درمیاں ہو تو قبیلے ٹوٹ جاتے ہیں
امیری خواب کی تعبیر خود تخلیق کرتی ہے
غریبی وار کرتی ہے تو سپنے ٹوٹ جاتے ہیں
مری کوشش تو یہ ہوتی ہے آنکھوں میں چھپا رکّھوں
مگر پلکوں سے ٹکرا کر ستارے ٹوٹ جاتے ہیں
مرا دل توڑ کر یارو وہ اس انداز سے بولے
کھلونے تو کھلونے ہیں کھلونے ٹوٹ جاتے ہیں

Police Fumbles in booking Sanatan Sanstha / Citizens Groups Want Sanstha Banned
Police Fumbles in booking Sanatan Sanstha / Citizens Groups Want Sanstha Banned
The Times of India
PANAJI: The special investigation team probing Friday’s blast at Margao raided the offices of the Sanatan Sanstha on Thursday. The raid, which
commenced in the afternoon, was on till late night. Sources said they SIT was looking through the computers at the offices for evidence to link the Sanstha with the blast. They are also searching for documents that could verify Malgonda Patil’s links with the Sanstha, and the possibility of any conspiracy being hatched in the Sanstha.
“Since Patil was a member of the Sanstha, it is important to check his records and that is why the search is being conducted,” DIG Ravindra Yadav said. Patil, who died in the blast, was one of the accused in the case. Patil’s body lies unclaimed at the GMC morgue. Sources said the police sent a wireless message to his family in Sangli to collect the body. Earlier, his uncle had come to claim the body, but the police were unable to hand it over as the post-mortem had not been conducted.

'Delay led to loss of crucial evidence'
TNN 22 October 2009
MARGAO: Even as the SIT probing the role of the Sanatan Sanstha in the Margao blast is tightlipped, there is apprehension of crucial evidence
having been lost owing to the delay in conducting a through search of the Sanstha's ashram in Ponda.
"Had we zeroed in on the ashram immediately after the blast, by this time we could have got some important leads," said a source in the police department. When pointed out that the police had conducted search operations at the ashram within hours of the blast, sources said that so far there have been neither any seizures, nor arrests.
The Sanatan Sanstha's ashram at Ponda has around 150 computers, sources said, adding that it would be a gargantuan task for the special investigation team probing the Margao blast to find details of communication exchanged by the inmates over a period of time. The computer hard disks were not sealed by the police, sources said. Till now the police have the mobile phone recovered from the deceased and some documents. They are, however, not revealing what other evidence they have gathered.
Sources pointed out that the Sanstha has separate wings for members undertaking specific tasks. "They (Sanstha) work in a different way which is shrouded in secrecy," said the source.
"The Sanstha featured prominently in the aftermath of Malegaon blast and we in Goa have a task in hand. It will be a long-drawn investigation as the incident is different in nature," confided a senior officer.
On Tuesday police had claimed they had never said the Sanstha was linked to the blasts. The Sanstha, too, had denied any involvement.
Meanwhile, the South Goa police headquarters was a meeting point of senior police officers on Wednesday. DIG R S Yadav monitoring the overall operation and Mumbai anti terrorism squad DIG Sukhwinder Singh along with SP (south) Allen de Sa and others had a closed door meeting. Thereafter, sources said the senior officers left for the ashram.
The SIT also held inquiries with several sanstha members at the south headquarters and recorded their statements.

Ban Sanatan Sanstha, citizens' panel tells govt
TNN 23 October 2009
MARGAO: `Citizens for secularism and communal harmony', at its meeting held in Margao on Thursday, unanimously demanded that the government
impose a ban on the Sanatan Sanstha, and that its premises be sealed and assets frozen.
"The antecedents and past activities of the Sanatan Sanstha should also be scanned and their possible links with other extremist organizations investigated. Their possible involvement in other anti-social activities, particularly the spate of temple desecrations, should also be checked," the resolution reads.
Social activist and former convenor of the Goa Bachao Abhiyan (GBA), Oscar Rebelo, in a spirited eloquence, urged the people to overcome the ideology of hate, as professed by Sanatan Sanstha, with the intrinsic power of human values.
"I am convinced that the intrinsic power of wisdom, love and morality contained in the Hindu religion, will defeat this ideology of hate. As a born Catholic, I salute this religion (for its potential to overcome such negative tendencies and harmful ideologies). A day will also come when a Muslim will defeat the al-Qaida. This is the beauty of humanity. The politics of hate should be killed at the family level itself (by refraining from passing adverse comments on other religions in our homes). We will be heading towards the end of the civilization, if we do not get our act together," Rebelo warned.
He further held the Sanatan Sanstha responsible for exerting adverse influence on young radical minds by using vile language in its periodicals, that eventually leads them to adopt ways of terror.
Uday Bhembre, speaking on the occasion, called upon the government to ban the Sanstha as there was overwhelming evidence of its complicity in the bomb blast case.
Mohandas Loliencar, in his speech, alleged that the Sanatan Sanstha was "trying to make Goa a laboratory to foment communal discord in society."
Pradeep Kakodkar, expressing his views, said that all "acts of fanaticism need to be condemned and not politicized." "Terrorism knows no religion, and it's a mistake to brand any terrorist as belonging to any particular religion," he added.
Francisco Colaco urged the people to oppose all divisive forces to ensure that the communal harmony of the state was not disturbed. "Every religion teaches to live in love and harmony, which has been the hallmark of Goa for centuries. We need to preserve this identity of Goa at all costs," he said.

Hindutva Fundamentalists and Margao blast in Goa
India - Goa:
Herald front-page editorial, 18 October 2009
Tackle terrorists with iron hand
Terrorism has no religion. It must be put down with an iron hand. The blast in Margao, as well as the one averted in Sancoale, have brought to the fore the ugly face of terrorism in Goa. Fortunately, the bomb exploded before it could be planted, killing Malgonda Patil and critically injuring Yogesh Naik, the terrorists who planned to massacre dozens of innocent people. The bomb in Sancoale was detected by an alert youth. Had it exploded where it was planted – in a truck carrying 40 youth and a Narkasur for a competition – it would have taken a large number of lives. Those who made and planted it are yet to be brought to justice.
`
This dastardly terrorist attack was, first, intended to target the Diwali Narkasur festival, which is unique to Goa and Goans, but which the Hindu fundamentalist Sanatan Sanstha denounces as a glorification of evil. The second objective, far more sinister, was to instigate religious riots in Margao, which has a history of communal tension. This cowardly attempt to hurt Goan traditions and destroy the State’s communal harmony must be put down swiftly and decisively.
This is the second terrorist act linked to the Sanatan Sanstha, which is active mainly in Maharashtra and Goa, and has its national headquarters at Ramnathi. It is not linked, as police said yesterday, to the Malegaon bomb blasts, but to a crude bomb made from gelatine sticks that went off in the parking lot of Gadkari Rangaytan, a drama auditorium in Thane, Maharashtra, on the evening of June 4, 2008, just before the Marathi play ‘Aamhi Paachpute’ was about to begin, in which seven persons were injured.
The Sanatan Sanstha alleged that the play ridiculed Hindu Gods and the Hindu religion, and demanded that it should be stopped. The producers of the play refused to oblige. That is why it was targeted. Four days earlier, a similar unexploded explosive was found and defused in the Vishnudas Bhave Auditorium at Vashi, Navi Mumbai, where the play was
also to be performed. This was just a day ahead of the IPL-2008 finals at the D Y Patil Stadium in nearby Nerul. A third bomb exploded outside a cinema theatre in Panvel that was showing the Bollywood film ‘Jodhaa-Akbar’, which the Sanatan Sanstha had denounced as denigrating the Hindu religion. Fortunately, no one was hurt in that blast.
Ramesh Gadkari, Mangesh Nikam, Vikram Bhave, Santosh Angre, Haribhau Divekar and Hemant Chalke, all Sanatan Sanstha activists, were arrested for making and planting these bombs, and are presently on trial for criminal conspiracy, attempt to murder and under various sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, the Explosive Substances Act and the Arms Act. The Sanstha claimed it had nothing to do with the bombs and bombers, just as it has done this time.
When these blasts took place last year, through these very columns, we urged the government and the police that they should thoroughly investigate the Sanstha, which has its national headquarters in Ramnathi, Goa, lest something similar happens here. Our plea was completely ignored by the powers-that-be. That could be because the wife
of a powerful minister in the Goa Cabinet is a strong sympathiser of the Sanatan Sanstha. Or it might be because of complacency and plain sloth.
But this time, the cause of action is in Goa itself. The objective of the bombs was to kill, maim and injure Goans. It was to try and shut down a unique Goan tradition – the Narkasur – which the Sanatan Sanstha hates. It was to take advantage of existing communal tensions and trigger riots in a State that prides itself on communal harmony and tolerance. It was to destroy the Goan way of life for some twisted fundamentalist religious beliefs. The government and the police must disregard interference from ministers and MLAs. They must investigate this case thoroughly, book all those suspected under the most stringent laws possible, and ensure that terrorism is never allowed to raise its ugly head in Goa.

Goa blast
Police personnel help a person injured after a blast in Margao
Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) sleuths on Sunday conducted searches at an office here run by Sanatan Sanstha, a Hindu right-wing organisation allegedly linked with the Margao blast in which two of its members were killed.
The ATS personnel, who arrived here today, conducted searches along with state police at the office of the Sansthan, linked to 2008 Malegaon blast accused Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, in Nesai near Margao town.
The ATS personnel will help the police ascertain whether there are links between Margao blasts and explosions that occurred in Maharashtra in 2008, police said.
Officials of the Sanstha, who were detained and interrogated yesterday, were again called today for questioning.
Five people, including ashram's manager Virendra Marathe and Prithviraj Hazare, editor of Sanstha's mouthpiece 'Sanatan Prabhat', were detained yesterday.
