‘The Caravan’ magazine carried a report, said to be given by Swami Asseemanand, with baseless allegation, on involvement of RSS Chief in the blasts carried out in Samjhauta Express. 
“This is a political conspiracy. Aseemanand has clarified he never said this. We have to see the timing," said RSS leader Ram Madhav. 
"We condemn this attempt to bring back the false allegations. Such false allegations were made earlier to defame RSS leadership but they were proved to wrong. Aseemanand, in the court and outside, denied making such statements. Questions arise on the authenticity of the interview. The timing of the interview poses a political conspiracy.
Senior RSS functionary MG Vaidya said that allegation by a media about Aseemanand ji’s statement is baseless. “All of it is a lie, imagination. Such acts will not be done by RSS. The Sangh does not tell someone to explode bombs; its job is character building, creating history. It has no connection with terror”, he said.
NIA sources say during probe Aseemanand did not name any senior RSS leader. 



Aseemanand's lawyer J S Rana had issued a statement on Wednesday categorically stating that the content of the article was a bundle of lies. The lawyer also said that his client denied having given any such interview and threatened to take legal action against the magazine and its correspondent.
