The RSS on Saturday alleged that the investigative agencies have been harassing its cadre who has been falsely implicated in many cases across the country in the name of saffron terror. Addressing a Press conference in Bangalore, RSS, National executive member Ram Madhav has said that the investigative agencies have been physically and mentally harassing their cadre in the name of saffron terror. He, however, refused to give names and other details of the officers who have harassed the RSS cadre.

He said: “Some of the junior officers of the investigative agencies have been harassing our cadre in the name of saffron terror. They are mentally and physically harassing them. We are, however, cooperating with the agencies in their investigation. This is a political conspiracy and we are taking legal recourse in these matters.”

Ram Madhav announced that the RSS will have two hours sit in peaceful dharna across the country on November 10 to protest against political parties who have vested interest in defaming the RSS.

On the issue of senior RSS functionary Indresh Kumar, he said he has been falsely implicated in the Ajmer bomb blast case and said the FIR has no case against him. He, however, informed that the RSS was going to court against this. “I must tell you that we can’t be cowed down by these political conspiracies. The people who are behind this are living in a fool’s paradise. We demand that investigations should take place in non political atmosphere. Some of the Congress leaders have gone overboard and said they have proof to prove the involvement of RSS. Let them prove it,” said Ram Madhav.

He further said, “As soon as the chargesheet was filed some senior and responsible leaders of the Rajasthan Government and the Congress have gone overboard making irresponsible statements against Indresh Kumar and the RSS. There was also an attempt to revive the bogey of an Oxymoron called the Hindu terror. This won’t work.”

Ram Madhav also came down heavily on the Union Government who has a soft corner for Arundhati Roy and Gilani. The RSS is also having meeting across the country in December to augment the spirit of Allahabad HC decision on Ayodhya.
