They say, "Every story has two sides. You need to hear both, before coming to any conclusion". And the quote is especially important in today's "secular world," where some media outlets and intellectuals – communists – use Nazi propaganda – "Repeat a lie a thousand times and it becomes the truth" – to deceive and build their narrative.
Understanding that technique, and to tell the 'untold story' of 'Lieutenant Colonel Prasad Purohit' that how a patriotic person was allegedly trapped under a false narrative of saffron terrorism and labelled as the 'Hindu terrorist, a book -' Lt Colonel Purohit - The Man Betrayed' launched in Pune.
It should be noted that Lieutenant Colonel Prasad Purohit was arrested in connection with the September 2008 Malegaon bomb blast.
The book is written by Smita Mishra, an advisor to Prasar Bharati. The book was launched in SP College in the presence of retired Indian Police Service officer Jayant Umranikar, with the programme being hosted by defence expert and television personality Major Gaurav Arya (retired).
The program was held on the college premises under police guard amid organisations protesting its release.
While speaking about the book, Author Mishra briefly explained why she felt a need to write this book on this issue. She claimed that the how false concept of Hindu terrorism was presented and that the face of Indian Army officer Colonel Prasad Purohit was used to hide the jihadi face of terrorism in the Malegaon blast case.
She further said, "Political parties had caused tremendous loss to the nation, wherein the face of army official was used to hide Jihadi terrorism by spreading a false narrative of Hindu terrorism."
Mishra claimed that the media also spread false information without verifying it in order to trap right-wing organisations during the blast investigation.

Soon, Lt Col Purohit was arrested in connection with the blast, and as a result terms like ‘Hindu terror’ or ‘Saffron terror’ were popularized by some politicians and Leftist media after their arrests.
They continued languishing in jails till April and August 2017, following which they were granted bail. As many as 235 witnesses have been deposed in the trial so far.
Many reports and statements by former bureaucrats had pointed out that Lt Col Purohit was maliciously framed, with planted ‘evidence’ by the former UPA government to fan the imaginary ‘saffron terror’ narrative and distract the public from the scams of the Congress-led government.
