RSS to counter terror charges
In a series of meetings held on Thursday, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has decided to counter allegations linking them to Hindu terror aggressively. For the RSS, since the CBI chief, Ashwini Kumar has made it clear
that “no RSS functionary has yet been interrogated for bomb blast cases,” the outfit would counter all reports linking them to the Hindu terror.
The RSS has also asked the BJP to defend them, whenever reports talking about RSS’ links with Hindu terror crops up.
Meanwhile Indresh Kumar, the RSS national executive member, who has been reportedly linked with some of the suspects in Hindu terror could not be contacted throughout the day. Media was told that he “is somewhere in Orissa.”
Sources disclosed after CBI chief’s recent comment on the issue the RSS, which was otherwise maintaining silence on the Hindu terror issue, decided to counter allegations against it and if needed, would also take a legal recourse to counter these allegations.
The series of meetings, which took place on Thursday at Sangh’s headquarters in Delhi was attended by senior pracharaks including senior RSS office bearers Bhaiya Ji Joshi and Dattatreya Hosbole.
Sources in the BJP disclosed senior Sangh leaders including RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat had recently also asked the BJP to defend the organisation on the Hindu terror issue.
As a result, the BJP on Thursday came out in support of the RSS.
“RSS is the largest nationalist force in the country. Though the CBI has said no senior RSS leader is being investigated, senior Congress leaders are continuing the tirade,” said BJP national spokesperson Mr Prakash Javadekar.
He adding “even the worst critics of RSS never made such statements and this should stop.”
But when asked how come the BJP, which had been critical of the CBI’s functioning, can trust CBI director’s statement on the Hindu terror issue, Mr Javadekar said one should have some belief in the system and institutions.
