The Samjhauta Express tragedy marks its 17th anniversary today, yet justice remains impossible for the victims.
In February 2007, Indian extremists carried out a devastating act of terrorism, claiming the lives of 68 innocent individuals, including both Pakistanis and Indians.
The incident occurred when the Samjhauta Express, traveling between Delhi and Lahore, was engulfed in flames near Panipat.
Among the casualties were 43 Pakistanis, 10 Indian citizens, and 15 others whose identities remained unknown.
Furthermore, 10 Pakistanis and 2 Indians sustained injuries in the terrorist attack.
The arrest of Kamal Chauhan, linked to the RSS, shed light on the intricate web of conspiracies behind the tragedy.
During the investigation, RSS leaders Swami Aseemanand and his cohorts were implicated in planning the Samjhauta Express incident, as revealed before the Judicial Magistrate.
Indian Army officer Lieutenant Colonel Purohit also confessed to training Hindu extremists to cause tensions between Pakistan and India.
The organization responsible for the attack, Abhinav Bharat, was led by Colonel Purohit and retired Major Ramesh Upadhyay of the Indian Army in 2006.
At the time, Purohit held a position in the intelligence corps of the Indian Army.
Despite India's attempts to deflect blame through anti-Pakistan media campaigns and false flag operations, the truth behind the Samjhauta Express tragedy has come to light.
However, for the victims and their families, justice has been impossible, as evidenced by the acquittal of all four accused, including Swami Aseemanand, by a special court of India's National Investigation Agency (NIA).
Furthermore, India's promotion of Hindutva ideology at the official level has exposed its claim to secularism to the world.
