New Delhi:
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Saturday said Congress general
secretary Digvijay Singh's comment on possibility of the Rashtriya
Swayamsevak Sangh's (RSS) involvement in terror activities was
"highly objectionable".
"This statement is highly objectionable. The RSS is a nationalist
organisation," BJP spokesperson Syed Shahnawaz Hussain told
reporters here.
"The Congress is doing politics over dead bodies. Is Digvijay
Singh above the home ministry and all Indian agencies that he can
say anything? Some people in Indian politics have a verbal
diarrhoea, they don't think before speaking," he added.
"(Congress president) Sonia Gandhi should give a clarification on
this," he said.
Singh, in reply to a question on possible involvement of
right-wing organisations in the recent serial blasts in Mumbai,
said he had evidence of the involvement of the 'Sangh' in terror
activities.
"Nothing can be ruled out as far as probe in the blasts is
concerned," he added.
He, however, clarified that he did not have any evidence on the
RSS's involvement in the serial blasts of Wednesday in Mumbai.
"If they want evidence about Sangh's (RSS) involvement in terror
activities, I have evidence but not in this case," Singh said.
The RSS is a right-wing Hindu organisation established in 1925.
