Terming Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi's speech on the Lokpal Bill in Lok Sabha yesterday as "lecture", Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) today insisted that Parliament should first pass the Jan Lokpal bill to control corruption.

Addressing a press conference today, RSS national executive member Indresh Kumar said, "There is a need to frame the law to contain corruption on a priority than to deliver a lecture."

Alleging that the UPA government has no will power to end corruption, bring back black money from foreign banks and bring down inflation, Kumar said, "Let the Parliament first pass the Jan Lokpal bill, and then any formula or a constitutional body be set up to take up the gigantic task."

He also claimed that issues of corruption, black money, and inflation were first raised by the BJP and said that social activist Anna Hazare has given momentum to these issues.

Kumar added that RSS was and would always be a firm believer of integrity of the nation.

The RSS leader, accused in the Ajmer blast case, also demanded the investigation of five terror attacks-- Samjhauta Express blast, Malegaon blast, 26/11 Mumbai blast, Mecca Masjid blast in Hyderabad and Ajmer blast-- be handed over to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) for further probe.

"In the year 2009-10 a unanimous resolution was passed in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on the basis of Indian and American findings that LeT and Huji were responsible and accused of Samjhota Express blast and Ilyas Kashmiri led the operation. Why this report is not a part of NIA investigation?," he asked.

On being asked on his alleged involvement in the Ajmer blast, he said he is ready for an open debate with the Union Home Minister, investigating agencies like CBI, ATS, NIA officers and former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Digvijay Singh on the issue.

Kumar pointed out that Digvijay Singh claimed to have evidence to prove the charges against the saffron brigade.

"It means either he (Digvijay) runs the investigating agencies or is in constant touch with such agencies. He has given a clean chit to Pakistan while releasing the book written by Aziz Burni on Mumbai (26/11) blast. He openly visits the houses of terrorists and pays respects to Osama Bin Laden," Kumar alleged.

"When has NIA kept Digivijay out of the purview of investigation?," he asked.

Kumar also said that he is open to a fair probe against him. "Based on the turn of events, it seems, rather it is sure that Digvijay is in the clutches of ISI".
