Calcutta, Jan. 31 :     The judgment in the Purulia arms-drop case, delivered by Justice P.K. Biswas today, drew sharp reactions from the saffron-clad sadhus huddled outside the courtroom of the 4th sessions Bench. 'The acquittal of Vinay Kumar Singh, a follower of the Ananda Marga, and the judge's categorical statement about the prosecution's failure to establish links of international conspiracy to our organisation, shows how we have been falsely persecuted,' said Bhavaneshananda Avadhuta, public relations secretary of the Ananda Marga Pracharak Samgha. After the arms-drop, the Margis, followers of a cult traditionally opposed to the ruling Marxists in West Bengal, had been labelled as suspected 'end-users'. Biswas, however, gave them a clean chit, saying: 'Sufficient evidence could not be produced by the prosecution to link up the Ananda Marga organisation as a whole with the present matter. As per material available, the institution itself cannot be implicated in the present case.' Regarding Singh, he said: 'The prosecution has not been able to establish his role... (so) he is acquitted from this case.' According to Avadhuta, 'The CBI, instead of trying to find out the truth, was trying to cover up by framing false and mischievous charges against the Ananda Marga.' He also alleged that, besides Singh, 13 other Margis had been picked up on 'false charges'. The organisation is now demanding a 'high-level enquiry by a sitting Supreme Court Judge'. Some questions raised by the Margis are: Who placed the order for the consignment? How did Kim Davy, the prime accused, escape from the high security zone of Mumbai airport and who helped him? Why did the home ministry not act upon advance information from British intelligence? It is imperative on the government's part to institute an enquiry as it compromises national security. The enquiry commission must also probe the role of the various intelligence agencies,' the Margis concluded.
