Police officers like Hemant Karkare took the first step in this risky and adventurous quest. When this honest and impartial officer arrested persons like Col. Purohit, Dayanand Pandey and Sadhvi Pragya Thakur wrapped in the cloak of saffron colour, as suspects in the Malegaon bomb blast case and put them in jail there was a great uproar and hullabaloo in the whole country. Those, who believed that they had the licence of spreading terrorism in the country, raised a great hue and cry. Any mention of saffron terrorism appeared as an attack on Hinduism. ?
