All arrested 'Hindu terrorists' have had RSS link: Digvijaya Singh

Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh is at it again. Accused Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh of promoting terrorism in the county, former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister said that all Hindu terrorists caught in the past have had association with the Sangh.

"All Hindu terrorists who have ever been caught have association with RSS in some way or the other. Nathuram Godse, who assassinated Mahatma Gandhi, was also part of RSS," Dijvijaya Singh said.

"So, this ideology is spreading hatred, hatred breeds violence, and from violence is bred terrorism," he said.



Reinforcing his stand on "Sangh terror," he said, "bomb blasts were executed by people influenced by Sangh ideology, be it Malegaon blast, Mecca Masjid blast, blast in Samjhauta express or Dargah Sharif."

Accusing RSS of propagating violence, Singh said, "The outfit which propagates violence and hatred, further propagates terrorism."

Defending Singh's charges, senior Congress leader Salman Khurshid said that his statements needs to be seen in the right context. "Ideologically Digvijay Singh has very strong views. He has opposed minority extremism and said that every kind of extremism is bad. We must contextualise what he said rather than generalise it and think he is saying it against one community or organisation," Khurshid said.
