Digvijay Singh says has 'terror' proof against RSS, links Advani, Sushma to Pragya Singh Thakur

Home Minister has said the same things, whatever I was saying for the past eleven years: Digvijay Singh on Hindu terror groups

New Delhi Taking potshots at the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over the ongoing war of words over Sushil Kumar Shinde's 'saffron terror' remark, Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh on Monday said there is foolproof evidence in support of the allegation levelled by the Union Home Minister.

A gloating Digvijay said, "For years the media and political parties called me mad when I said RSS linked to terror, today I am very happy that this has been officially stated by the Home Minister himself".

“Home Minister has said the same things, whatever I was saying for the past eleven years. There are some people in the RSS who are providing training for terrorist activities, and are themselves involved in such activities. He said this because he has evidence. The fact has been proved, investigation is going on, and some people have been arrested in the matter,” said Singh.

Shinde sees terror in BJP, RSS


Reacting to RSS spokesperson Ram Madhav latest remark in response to Shinde’s comments that terrorist groups like the ‘Lashkar-e-Taiba and the Jamaat-ud-Dawa should have congratulated Shinde for his comments’, Singh said that RSS must clarify whether people, including slain Sunil Joshi, Ramjee Kalangsara, Sandeep Dange, Lokesh Sharma are associated with them or not.

Citing that the RSS and BJP have an inseparable association in this regard, Singh also sought clarification as to why senior BJP leader L K Advani and Sushma Swaraj have met the Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, and requested that he favour Sadhvi Pragya Thakur and Colonel Purohit, when they were arrested?

“There is substantial proof that the Sangh (RSS) has organised the training camps for providing training to plant bombs,” he added.

Singh, even on earlier occasions, has raised his voice against the RSS, the ideological patron of the BJP, for their alleged involvement in the Mecca Masjid and Samjhauta Express blasts.

On Sunday, Shinde alleged that the training camps run by the RSS and BJP were promoting ‘Hindu terror’. He also alleged that the RSS and the BJP were behind the Samjhauta Express, Meccca Masjid and Malegaon blasts.

Later, defending himself, Shinde said that he didn't say anything new and only spoke about saffron terrorism, which has already been talked about many a times in newspapers.

Sushil Kumar Shinde has lost mental balance: BJP

Jammu: Lashing out at Sushil Kumar Shinde for his controversial remarks during the Congress summit in Jaipur, the BJP today said it seems the Home Minister has lost his mental balance.

"Shinde seems to have lost his mental balance, otherwise he would not have been making such irresponsible statements," said BJP state president Jugal Kishore Sharma.

The party takes strong exception to Shinde's remarks on a nationalist party like BJP and a "thoroughly patriotic social organisation" like RSS, Sharma said, accusing the Congress of playing divisive tactics.

He said both Shinde and his party should concentrate more on issues like corruption and price rise which are concerned to common man, instead of making "unproven allegations" against BJP.

Shinde had yesterday stoked a controversy by accusing BJP and RSS of conducting terror training camps and promoting "Hindu terrorism", setting off an angry reaction from the saffron parties which demanded an apology from Sonia Gandhi.

Mr Singh, prove that you are politician of worth by Ajith on 21 Jan 2013

Mr Singh, you are famous for quotable quotes. You had even made comments that you will not go against Mr Vajpayee's son in law and hence BJP should not go against Robert Vadra. You have raised your voice against the Sangh Parivar for 11 years. But of no use. You were considered a efficient CM of MP. Yet the Congress ditched you and put inconsequential leaders in your place. At this moment, Shivraj Singh's rule will ensure that you continue of use for the Congress for your 'foot in the monuth' quotes. You will support the Batla suspects, because they are Muslims. By the same token you will support Afzal Guru, despite the Parliment Bombing case. It is a tragic situation for India, that senior and respected people like you seem to have no sense of apathy to the Hindu community. There must be support for the Minorities, but no blatant support ignoring the major community. Congress like the British favours Divide and Rule policy for Hindus. Let Shinde show proof else he should resign.

DIGVIJAY COMPETING SHINDE ! by ANIYAN on 21 Jan 2013

HE JUST ESCAPED FROM ARREST AND ON BAIL NOW IN HIS ALLEGATION AGAINST NITIN GADKARI. HE STRONGLY BELIEVES THAT IN ALLEGING AGAINST THE TOP BRASS OF MAIN OPPOSITION, HE WILL BE AT THE CENTER OF DISCUSSION AND HENCE GET MORE IMPORTANCE IN HIS PARTY, WHICH IS IGNORING AND DISOWNING HIM MANY TIMES. I AM SURE, THE BJP WILL TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY TO CONVINCE HIM IN THE BEST SUITABLE MANNER. ON THE OTHER HAND, HE DOES NOT WANT TO BE NUMBER 2 TO SHINDE AND THATS WHY HE IS SHOOTING AT THE TOP.

Shinde's remakrs by vasudevan on 21 Jan 2013

Congress does not have loyalty or patriotism towards India. Thheir MPs and Ministers will do anything to get votes. They will even sell India

Troubling by Abhishek on 21 Jan 2013

If correct this indeed is a dangerous precedent. Radicalisation of majority will push India away from the path of political unity, secularism and most importantly economic progress. The question each Indian should ask is -Do we want India to be a progressive, multi-cultural dveloped state like the US or the EU or do we end up like Pakistan and Myanmar ? THE CHOICE IS OURS !

Mr. by aravind on 21 Jan 2013

If the HM has the evidence, he should not make a punlic announcement but arrest them. The way we see 'give the key to the thief!' you will be safe! So probably Home Ministry is safe them Shinde! Dig Vijay always tries to dig! but no chance in MP yet! Great leaders and model for our yong!

Shinde has foolproof evidence against RSS, says Digvijay Singh, links Advani, Sushma to Pragya Singh Thakur by patnaikt on 21 Jan 2013

Diggi is the only one in the entire country who knows everything under the Sun. If they have proof why do not they prosecute them? There is limit to butt licking and he has surpassed that!

Buttlicker in Chief by digiloveslicking on 21 Jan 2013

If your money is where your twisted mouth is - why don't you prosecute them since as you say you have the foolproof evidences?
