RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat linked to terror attacks: Aseemanand

February 06, 2014 09:11

In an interview to Caravan magazine, Swami Aseemanand, an accused in the Samjhauta Express, Mecca Masjid and Ajmer Dargah blasts, has said that RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat gave a go ahead for the attacks.

He claims that Bhagat said the attacks were important and must be carried out but should not be linked to the Sangh.

The RSS has denied Aseemanand's allegations. NIA sources said that Aseemanand did not name senior RSS leaders during his interrogation.

Aseemanand has retracted a similar confession earlier.
