Defending RSS leader Indresh Kumar, whose name figures in the Ajmer blast charge sheet, BJP today said there was nothing "substantial or credible" against him.
Defending RSS leader Indresh Kumar, whose name figures in the Ajmer blast charge sheet, BJP today said there was nothing "substantial or credible" against him and accused the government of targeting nationalist organisations while keeping quite on Kashmiri separatists.
"According to our information Indresh Kumar has not been named as an accused in the charge sheet. There is nothing substantial or credible against him... No organisation has been named. How can anyone say that BJP or RSS is involved or that this is saffron terror," BJP spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman said.
At the same time, she maintained that Kumar will defend himself "as a citizen" in court while RSS was "more equipped to talk" about its members figuring in the charge sheet.
Recalling the incident here on Thursday in which Kashmiri separatists and Naxal sympathisers raised pro-azadi slogans and showed disrespect to the national flag, Sitharaman said while the government had not yet taken action against them, it was targetting nationalist organistions which were involved in nation-building.
Reacting to the Congress allegations of RSS involvement in Ajmer blast conspiracy, the BJP spokesperson said, "Whoever has made these comments has not read the charge sheet. RSS has not been named in the charge sheet. Every time there is a disaster anywhere in the country, Sangh people are go there immediately."
"Congress says such things for political mileage... This is a political conspiracy against nationalist organisations working for the nation. This shows their political frustration," she added.
Sitharaman alleged that the term saffron terror was brought in the political domain by "our honourable home minister P Chidambaram".
