New Delhi, March 04: Home Secretary G K Pillai today said that saffron terror was a cause of “great concern” though its spread across the country was very limited at the moment.
Interacting with reporters at the Indian Women’s Press Corps here, he said at the moment “it is something very limited, but if it spreads, it is a matter of great concern”.
He said that investigations were on in the Samjhauta Express blast case, in which right-wing Hindu group ‘Abhinav Bharat’ activist Aseemanand is linked. Aseemanand is also an accused in the Ajmer dargah blasts.
Amid an ethical debate on tapping of telephones, the Home Ministry in consultation with the Finance Ministry will shortly take a decision on whether the Central Board of Direct Taxes should be taken off the list of agencies allowed to tap telephones for investigative purposes.
