RSS worried about 'Hindu' link to terrorism

The Hindu  

Ever since a 'Hindu' link to terrorism surfaced in the form of 'sadhvi' Pragya Singh Thakur, many in the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh have been spending sleepless nights, wondering where police investigations will lead once the agencies are able to connect all the dots that have emerged over the past two years. If terror activities do get linked to the RSS in the minds of the people, the organisation would run into some very rough weather, the sources said. "If even for a day the RSS were to be directly linked to terrorist activity, we would suffer a fate worse than what we did after the murder of the Mahatma when the finger of suspicion pointed to the RSS," the leader said, speaking on condition of anonymity. Let me tell you we will be relieved if he is arrested and the entire ring connected that was based in Indore is busted by the police," said the RSS leader.
