“Police to keep tabs on boats”
A STAFF REPORTER

SNIPPET: “Guwahati, Nov. 26: Assam police have decided to register country boats that ply on the Brahmaputra to keep tabs on their movement and thus check their use by Ulfa militants.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “In February this year, the police recovered 10kg of RDX from a country boat at Goroimari in Kamrup, about 100km from Guwahati. Four militants belonging to the 27 battalion of Ulfa and the boatman were apprehended along with the explosives.

The official said the militants favoured the country boats because it was difficult to detect them, especially at night. “That these are not mechanised and, therefore, make no noise,” he said.

Mechanised boats, called bhutbhuti, ply mainly in and around Guwahati to ferry passengers across the river.

The other vessels that ply on the river are the bigger steamers, mostly under the inland water transport department of the state government.”

“Malegaon blast suspects’ goal was to make India a ‘Hindu Rashtra’”
27 Nov 2008, 0504 hrs IST, Mateen Hafeez, TNN

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “MUMBAI: Investigations into the September 2008 Malegaon blast have revealed that the suspects were looking beyond maiming the textile town. They were actually working to convert India into a Hindu Rashtra by 2025.

“Interrogation of Sudhakar Dwivedi alias Dayanand Pandey, who is in police custody till December 1, has revealed that the group was working to create an `Aryavarta Rashtra’ in India,’’ an Anti-Terrorism Squad official said. “They wanted to make India like what it was when it was ruled by the Aryans; their dream was to convert the country into a Hindu Rashtra and an Akhand Bharat,’’ an official said.

The suspects planned to infiltrate government departments everywhere in the country with like-minded people and then convert India from a secular country into a Hindu Rashtra, officials said.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Officials managed to seize his two laptops before he could destory them. “The police found records of over 15 meetings Dwivedi had with the others accused in the blast. Purohit used to videograph these meetings and, at one of these meetings, Abhinav Bharat convener Sameer Kulkarni is seen discussing funds collected for their cause,’’ an official said.

Special public proscutor Rohini Salian has told a MCOCA court in Mumbai that Dwivedi is clearly heard asking others to “now listen to my plan’’ about the blast. “We have to do our duty in the interest of the nation and justice,’’ Salian said, referring to the larger conspiracy in the case. Dwivedi is also seen talking about RDX, remote controls, timers, short- and long-rage weapons and the conspiracy, Salian has told the court.”
