Goa considering ban on blast-suspect Sanatana Sanstha, says CM Kamath |
Goa Chief Minister
Digambar Kamath hinted here on Monday that his government is considering banning
the Sanatana Sanstha, a right wing organization which is suspected of having a hand
in the explosion in South Goa on Friday night. Kamath revealed this while speaking
to a private news channel. Earlier in the day, State Home Minister Ravi Naik informed
the media that the state police would also probe the links of state Transport
Minister's wife with the Sanstha. "We are probing everyone. We know that Jyoti
Dhavalikar is a part of the institution although we do not know in which capacity.
I have asked police to enquire," Naik said. However, Transport Minister Ramakanth
Dhavalikar admitted that his wife Jyoti is a member of the Sanstha but clarified
that she does not hold any position in it. "My wife has been involved with Sanstha
activities for over a decade, primarily meditation activities. She does not hold
any post within the Sanstha, and is a volunteer there," Dhavalikar, said. On Sunday,
Goa police formed a special investigation team (SIT) to probe a low-intensity
blast in Marmagao, which killed two activists of the Sanstha. Meanwhile, in Mumbai,
refuting the charges of involvement in the Friday’s blast a representative of
the Sanstha Shambhu Gaware alleged that Goa Home Minister Ravi Naik is falsely
implicating the outfit to hide his failure. "Naik's remarks that police are probing
our foreign links is ridiculous. It is indeed a big defeat of Goa government that
they are still unable to find real culprits. Naik is making the allegations just
to hide his failure," Gaware said. Commenting on reports of police finding some
objectionable things from Sanstha’s Ramnathi Ashram, Gaware said: "nothing has
been recovered from the ashram." He also denied the arrest of any member of the
Sanstha for their alleged involvement in the blast. |
