Months after Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde expressed regret for linking RSS with terror activities, Congress leader Digvijay Singh on Thursday alleged that the organisation gave training in the making of bombs.
Talking to reporters at Neemuch in Madhya Pradesh, Singh told reporters that he was saying this on the basis of incidents that had taken place in the state in the past.
Singh said when the BJP was in power in Madhya Pradesh in 1992, a bomb had exploded in the office of the RSS’ Seva Bharati and one person was killed in it.
When the case in this connection was reopened after the Congress ame to power in 1993, the Principal of a saffron-run school in Khargaon was arrested, he said.
The Congress general secretary said after a blast in Mhow in the State in 2004 those arrested had said that they were given training by the RSS in bomb making. Incidentally, Shinde had to express regret for making similar complaints when the BJP stalled functioning of Parliament seeking his apology.
