<b>ATS revelations are attempts to divide RSS and Hindu opinion: Sangh</b>
NEW DELHI: The RSS has termed the claims of the Mumbai ATS that some of the accused in the Malegaon blast were planning to target its senior leaders
as "divisive tactics" of the UPA.
"These are divisive tactics of the UPA to fuel baseless rumours and fears through the ATS to divide the Sangh and Hindu opinion. They should come clear about their investigation findings in a court of law or else stop leaking such rumours through media," RSS national executive member Ram Madhav said.
"However, if the ATS claims are true then this proves what we have been saying that there is nothing like 'Hindu terrorism'. And if the ATS is confident of their leads, I urge the ATS to behave professionally and investigate full details of this angle and punish the accused," Madhav said.
RSS insiders said after the reports, the personal security of its general secretary Mohan Bhagwat has been tightened.
"Mohanji was targeted by the ISI in the past. At that time he was provided with personal security, now arrangements are underway to recall similar security arrangement for him and few other senior leaders," said an RSS office bearer.
The Vishwa Hindu Parishad described the ATS' claims of blast accused Shyam Apte and Dayanand Pandey wanting to target RSS functionaries Mohan Bhagwat and Indraesh as "baseless".
"The UPA is now scared of the kind of support the RSS and Sangh has over the majority voters and so they are keen on spreading rumours," said Togadia.
