NEW DELHI, Jan 22: At least 10 people, who were allegedly involved in a spate of terror attacks in different parts of the country, had links with RSS or its affiliated organisations, Union Home Secretary R.K. Singh said on Tuesday.

“Yes, during investigation of Samjhauta Express, Mecca Masjid and (Ajmer) Dargah Sharif blasts, we have found at least 10 names who have been associated with the RSS at some point or the other,” he told reporters.

Mr Singh was replying to a question on whether government had any evidence linking RSS with any person involved in any terrorist strike anywhere in the country as claimed by Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde.

“We have evidence against them. There are statements of witnesses,” he said.

The home secretary also made public the names of the ten persons who were allegedly involved in terror attacks and also had links with RSS.
