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.

Terrorists happy with Shinde: RSS

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.

shinde's terror by Azadii on 23 Jan 2013

Every Indian knows that there is no terrorist in RSS and BJP. RSS, if trained people that is for their self-defence. The major proof of their not involved in terror is that shinde is still alive and a burden on Indian soil. Had anyone from RSS and BJP been involved in terror, all upa notorious leaders would have been sent to hell. All Indians are sure about their loyalty.

vote bank politics: dangerous portents by C Prakash on 23 Jan 2013

Political parties using blatant Hindu bashing as a weapon in the name of secularism, to pander to the minorities, for vote bank politics, is a cause for serious concern. The facts and truth have been completely ignored and twisted to justify such unwarranted propaganda. The latest attack on Hindus by congress's Shindes, Mani Shankar Aiyers, Digvijay Singhs, along with regional party leaders such as Owasis, Mulayams, Laloos, Nitish's etc are by themselves enough to cause break up of Indian state and Pakistan does not require Kayanis, ISI, Hafeez Saeeds, Afzal Gurus, Kasabs, hurriyat leaders etc to do the job for them. Several pseudo intellectuals and self proclaimed opinion makers (mistakenly called journalist) who are in fact nothing more than paid stooges of the congress are working overtime to create as incorrect a picture as possible to ruin the unity and peace in the country and once again reduce India to religious blood bath and partition. God Save us from these "Jai chands"

well,i request times of India group to actually filter the comments before publishing, some of the so called educated here doesn't have basic English vocabulary, is a pity they are posting such nonsense comments.

Saffron Terror- In India and around the world-World Saffron Terror by Dr. Avneesh Tyagi on 21 Jan 2013

An ideology or the opinion that is propagated or expressed by representatives of people in a democracy reflects how common people elect these enemies of the state. Common people are manipulated just to gain power, in India particularly. This is exactly what is happening in India. In India, even so called educated people can be manipulated and can be persuaded to gain the power and can be made to rule upon them. In a simple and clean language, Indians are not just capable to take actions. If even one Indian tries to change and bring reforms, he or she will be pushed back by (Pseudo) intellectuals and what all these Pseudo intellectuals do is debate but have no plan of action. Similarly, we have politicians who just speak and fool poor people (read financially and intellectually) and remain in power.No doubt what our great leader Subhas Chandra Bose sought was an authoritarian socialism. Although, his ideology may not be very effective in current scenario in India. Well I am not surprised since its common in India to elect a mentally bankrupt and a criminal in Politics. Indians can blame the least on such kind of vision less and corrupt politicians, since its people of India those elect them their representatives. Now as far as for Mr. Shinde- 9/11- Saffrom Terror Mumbai attack-Saffron terror Plight and genocide of Pundits in Kashmir- Saffron terror Taking of dividing India based on religion- Saffron terror Genocide of Hazara and other minorities in Pakistan- Saffron terror Destruction of Buddha statue- Saffron terror I can go on and on it will take me my entire day to list all saffron terror spreading in India and around the world. Of course, a pun and sarcasm was intended!

Congress policy anti Hindu by Sandeep on 21 Jan 2013

Why do they use words like Hindu extremism. If using word Muslim terrorism is deplorable so is using word Hindu terrorism. Shame on people holding responsible posts in biggest political party which called itsel secular. Whose Vice President has just yesterday committed to carry all religions equally. I really wish there are no extreme thinking organisations at same time I think we should all deplore people like Digvijay Singh who are trying to alienate society by playing devisive politics. He should be treated in same legion as Thakreys who are just opposite.

Diggiraja wan't to be in limelight again. He lost credibility already. This is to divert people%u2019s attention from failed Indian diplomacy against Pakistan

Simple by Vijay on 21 Jan 2013

Why do we Hindus need enemies from Pakistan etc. we have enough of them in the Congress and the UPA. Now as per the UPA's findings it seems that if a Hindu tries to defend himself from being attacked, he is a terrorist whereas if a person from any other religion attacks a Hindu it is an act of patriotism!!! Thanks so much for having PC, Shinde, Diggy, Sonia, Rahul and MS as people directing the country's defence strategy -

Only For Votes in the next Election by P K Subraya Holla on 21 Jan 2013

If Digvijay Singh has a strong proof of BJP supporting Terrorism in this country, why doesn%u2019t he give that proof to Election Commission and get BJP banned from contesting election. Then the Congress%u2019s road to retain power in 2014 will be very smooth. These kind of statements coming from Congress leader is only to please some section of the society whose vote they want to grab.

Hindu terror? Pathetic vote bank politics by Karthik Kamath on 21 Jan 2013

With due respects if Shinde & Digvijay thinks that RSS & BJP are terrorist organisations. They should outright Ban them & if they cant then should quit.RSS is an orgn which was founded inorder to enlighten ppl & to make indians aware about indian culture, heritage& self pride about being an indian. Gandhiji himself had appreciated RSS & they had taken part in the republic day parade.Mr SHinde pls be HM of India & not for the vested interest of this country.U hav indulged urself in a major controversy. as for Dijvijay this is nothin new as he himself want to create controversy to create vote bank politics.
