RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has been accused of involvement in the 2007 Samjhauta Express, Hyderabad Mecca Masjid and Ajmer Dargah blasts.
Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde said, “Let’s see what he has said. If he has made a revelation, it may be true.”
External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid described the revelation as “serious”.
“This is serious information. It can have serious implications on the country. These must be discussed and truth must come out,” Khurshid said.
Congress leader Rajiv Shukla said the BJP will continue to ignore the matter, but the Home Ministry must take note of it.
JD(U) leader Shivanand Tiwari too reacted, “This is not surprising for us. Such is their (RSS) work. The government must order fresh investigations.”
Demanding a CBI inquiry, BSP chief Mayawati labelled it an extremely serious issue. “If found guilty strict action must be taken,” stressed Mayawati.
Congress leader Beni Prasad Verma said, “People from the Sangh should be ashamed. They want to destroy the nation for the sake of votes. These people can go to any lengths to make Hindus and Muslims fight.”
