Samjhauta express blasts: Aseemanand's lawyer claims charges are a plot to malign Narendra Modi
  • 5 years ago
Swami Aseemanand lawyer said how can the journalist go to jail and take interview. Assemanand's lawyer claims charges are a plot to malign Narendra Modi.

Swami Aseemanand, accused in the blasts in the Samjhauta Express (February 2007), Hyderabad Mecca Masjid (May 2007) and Ajmer Dargah (October 2007), has claimed that RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat had "sanctioned" the attacks.
A report in The Caravan magazine quoted Aseemanand as saying that Bhagwat, then RSS general secretary, told him that the blasts should not be linked to the Sangh. "Aseemanand told The Caravan that Bhagwat said of the violence, 'It is very important that it be done. But you should not link it to the Sangh'," said a press release issued by the magazine on Wednesday.

The RSS, however, denied the charge and questioned the veracity of the interview with Aseemanand, who is currently in Ambala Central Jail. "It is a rubbish and concocted interview," said the RSS's all-India publicity Chief Manmohan Vaidya.
